I'm a parent. I don't think it was appropriate, but I don't think its a big deal either.

Actually Janet missed a good chance for some more bucks, it should have had a little sign on it that gave the name of the doctor that made it.
I think the whole halftime show sucked but it was a really good ballgame.

And COME ON! she was wearing a star boobie tassel! You don't just put those on before you leave the house. MTV = :disgust:

Actually it was a Piercing Nipple Shield and she does wear those when she leaves to house!

I wonder how heavy it is.

This thread really makes me cry for the future of America. Most people are being rational, but some refuse to believe it could have been an accident. Can't we wait for the investigation? I hate condemning people before the facts are known.

I can't believe anybody watched halftime. If I were in the STADIUM, I wouldn't be watching halftime

You can't honestly believe that can you? Looking at the facts, I'd think it should be rather obvious. Considering what we know, the chances of it actually being an accident are so small I don't see how it's even worth considering.

By the way, not to piss on your self-righteousness or anything you condemn people all the time without knowing all the facts. It's a nice idealistic concept and all but coming from you it just sounds dirty.

Edit: I guess I should also add that I'm not a parent but I did have a problem with it. I have no problem with things of that nature being shown on TV but that's not the place for it. You should know going in what you are going to see and have the opportunity to avoid it if you so choose. Plus the little fact that, given the rating, what they showed was against FCC rules. I don't especially agree with the rules but they are still the rules and the networks should abide by them until they find a way to get them changed.

Janet's biggest mistakes imho were

1.that ugly costume

2.those horrid mannish boots

the woman has world famous abs and a petite body muscled body that doesn't stop,why on earth she didn't show case her best assets in that skin display is beyond me.

The first things that pops to mind are the plethora of Darwin award threads we have here. You read the article about the incident, which is not evidence, and judge, or condemn, them based on what you've read. Now, some of those are obviously so clear cut that there's no reason not to judge them but there are others which might not be so obvious where you don't consider that there could be another explanation for what happened. I can't really blame you. I do it too as do the rest of us for the most part. Just don't act like you judge people on anything less than concrete proof. We all do in one way or another.

I know I could find other more concrete and specific instances like the one we're talking about now but I really do not have the patience or desire to go searching through all your posts right now. I think you've proved many times that you don't mind jumping on someone for something your perceive to be true whether or not it actually is.

Blah, pointless argument.

It really is because the only time I've condemned people was when it was clear cut. Timberlake and Jackson have issued denials that it was intentional, so there is reason to believe it is not concrete.

Newspaper articles are clear cut :confused: Perhaps sometimes but do you even know what was written was truth or spin?

Anyway, correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Jacko Jr. say at first it was a complete accident and wasn't planned and then later, admit the obvious and say that it was planned and only the top part was supposed to come off and the lace was supposed to stay there? I don't know about you, but when someone lies one time that's reason enough for me to believe that their second story is "not concrete". In fact, I'm pretty sure most of the world would agree with me. Liars don't have much credibility anywhere.

No that isn't what happened at all. Try reading the news instead of listening to it.

Idiot.

Edit:
From CNN

"The decision to have a costume reveal at the end of my halftime show performance was made after final rehearsals," Jackson said in a statement...... Jackson spokesman Stephen Huvane said the incident "was a malfunction of the wardrobe; it was not intentional. ... He was supposed to pull away the bustier and leave the red-lace bra."

Touchy.

Actually, I guess the sound I just heard was my point whizzing right over your head. Intentionally I'm sure. I doubt even you can be so stupid. In case you are though; I said that Janet denied it at first and then admitted that she planned it but things went too far. You said that never happened and added your own little smart ass, ignorant comment. I provided a link from a reputable news source proving that you don't have the foggiest clue what you're talking about. So no, I don't think I'll eat your dick. You're so very grown up by the way.

As far as that proving it's an accident it proves no such thing... O.J. said he didn't murder two people. Clinton said he "did not have sexual relations with that woman". You've probably said you were smart at some point in your life. As is the case with these three things, the fact that it was said does not make it true.

Janet Jackson, not to be outdone by her younger brother, decided to expose herself not only to children but to people all over the world.

You called me an idiot and didn't expect an insult back? You should check out reality one day.
