PEOPLE GOTTA GROW THE FVCK UP!!!.


It's a boob for god's sake. The first thing 75% of the population did as an infant was latch onto a boob, people having sex incorporate boobs into their thing. Men got them, Women got them, we all got them, what is the big deal. There isn't a 10 year old out there that hasn't ever seen one or touched one. People are way too uptight about things like this.

Not everyone shares your values. GET OVER IT. You are not the Alpha and Omega of the world. Just because you think it's ok, doesn't mean everyone else is. Some people are seriously against that sort of thing and your failure to acknowledge that sickens me.

You're "sickened" by his "failure" to acknowledge that not everyone approves of what happened? Guess we should start handing out the barf bags everytime someone expresses an opinion that isn't in line with your tight-ass moralizing worldview.

Oh man. Could you imagine if this idiot goes to a public swimming pool? Is she going to sue everyone in the change room?

If she's suing over a tittie, imagine if she saw some dudes hammer!

It was on the screen for two seconds. I'm betting 80+% of the people watching didn't see it and saw the pictures and video later.

I hope she has to pay for wasting everyones time.

I was watching the half-time show in a room of 15 people. You know how many of us saw it on tv? 1 freakin person.

This is great I myself was trying to figure out how to make some money out of this situation,
like selling T-shirts or setting up a site and charging a few dollars to see a quick 2 sec boob flash.

But this lady and her attorney's idea is Brilliant file a suit get in the news maybe get a few paying interviews
20/20, 60 Mins, Dateline.


No wonder Al Quadea has claimed Holy War against the U.S.

Can I counterfile? I've suffered injury at least superior to this, by having further evidence of the stupidity of the human race thrown into my face.

Give me a f-ing break.

I was about to quote the same thing.

Seriously. Sitting on your fat ass and watching the superbowl does not justify winning a billion dollar lawsuit. This lady's fifteen minutes is as good as over.

go take a pill then.

I'd rather have people practice what they preach, TOLORANCE.

Granted, it's a stupid lawsuit, but people have the right and shouldn't be mocked for standing up for what they believe in.

If Jesus were giving a sermon then slipped and fell, exposing himself, would you sue him or brush it off as an accident?

I want Terri Carlin to burst into flames.

If anyone from ATOT lives in Knoxville, can you please punch her in the mouth for me the next time you see her?

I can't imagine, that If I had a young son and was watching the game with him, that I would have done anything other than laugh hysterically about it with him and then move on with my life.

"All of the defendants knew that the Super Bowl, the pre-eminent sports event in the United States, would be watched by millions of families and children," says the lawsuit filed by Knoxville attorney Wayne A. Ritchie II. "Nevertheless, (they) included in the halftime show sexually explicit acts solely designed to garner publicity and, ultimately, to increase profits for themselves."

Ironic.

I wonder if she finds song lyrics offensive and "injurious" as well.

JT's songs aren't exactly G-rated.

Good. Maybe this will teach this idiots that they can't do whatever they want and get away with it.

It also asks the court to declare the matter a class action for purposes of damages. No dollar figure is mentioned in the suit,
The suit states that the ultimate compensatory damage figure, should a jury decide to grant damages, should be no higher than what the parties being sued made out of participating in and airing the Super Bowl and its halftime show.
