WOW!
Straight tit. Justin ripped something more than he should have off her chest and it was all
right tit with silver stud.

― jj, Monday, 2 February 2004 01:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Was she not sporting a pastie? It was so fast, I couldn't tell.

"have you nekkid by the end of this song" -> JT gets most of Jackson's breast nekkid

― dleone (dleone), Monday, 2 February 2004 02:10 (twenty-two years ago)

Janet and Justin were dueting on "Rock Your Body" and just before the end of the song he reached across her chest and flat out pulled off the material holding her breast in. POP! And out it came...

― Johnny Fever (johnny fever), Monday, 2 February 2004 02:11 (twenty-two years ago)

another picture. just after.

― keith m (keithmcl), Monday, 2 February 2004 02:12 (twenty-two years ago)

it was intentional i think?

― cutty (mcutt), Monday, 2 February 2004 02:15 (twenty-two years ago)

now the drudge report has a photo that makes it look like some sort of a clamp is on her nipple.

Reactions:

Britney/Madonna redone by two people with rivalry issues towards other pair of attention seekers.

Janet duetting with her brother again only not really.

That wasn't a bum standing in for Justin?

It would have been better if Justin Timberlake had suckled her teet.

Okay,... this just in. Justin's saying that it wasn't intentional.

Time for another glass of wine.

NEW YORK (AP) -- CBS apologized on Sunday for an unexpectedly R-rated end to its Super Bowl halftime show, when singer Justin Timberlake tore off part of Janet Jackson's top, exposing her breast.

"CBS deeply regrets the incident," spokeswoman LeslieAnne Wade said after the network received several calls about the show.

The two singers were performing a flirtatious duet to end the halftime show, and at the song's finish, Timberlake reached across Jackson's leather gladiator outfit and pulled off the covering to her right breast.

The network quickly cut away from the shot, and did not mention the incident on the air.

Timberlake said he did not intend to expose Jackson's breast.

"I am sorry that anyone was offended by the wardrobe malfunction during the halftime performance of the Super Bowl," Timberlake said in a statement. "It was not intentional and is regrettable."

Wade said CBS officials attended rehearsals of the halftime show all week, "and there was no indication any such thing would happen. The moment did not conform to CBS' broadcast standards and we would like to apologize to anyone who was offended."

The Super Bowl halftime show, which also featured P. Diddy, Nelly and Kid Rock, was produced by MTV, CBS' corporate cousin in Viacom.

"We were extremely disappointed by elements of the MTV-produced halftime show," Joe Browne, NFL executive vice president, said. "They were totally inconsistent with assurances our office was given about the content of the show.

"It's unlikely that MTV will produce another Super Bowl halftime."

MTV issued a contrite statement, saying the incident was "unrehearsed, unplanned, completely unintentional."

― maria b (maria b), Monday, 2 February 2004 04:18 (twenty-two years ago)

This begs the question... what exactly was "supposed" to happen?

― maria b (maria b), Monday, 2 February 2004 04:20 (twenty-two years ago)

"wardrobe malfunction" hahahahaha

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Monday, 2 February 2004 04:20 (twenty-two years ago)

Nelly also said naughty words. I imagine the FCC is not going to take kindly to this whole thing. Lame.

New York Daily News: The halftime show at Super Bowl XXXVIII hit new levels of raunch: Rapper Nelly grabbed his crotch and Kid Rock came out wearing an American flag cut into a poncho.

Ha-ha. Oh those raunchy flag displays. Does this mean that the whole audience was partaking in a 70,000 person orgy during Beyonce's national anthem?

― Eric H. (Eric H.), Monday, 2 February 2004 04:26 (twenty-two years ago)

From Janet-Xone, obviously after the network cut away:

She looks a bit confused/pissed, imo.

― Eric H. (Eric H.), Monday, 2 February 2004 04:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh that is beautiful -- you couldn't have photoshopped that one any better.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 2 February 2004 04:32 (twenty-two years ago)

Great pic.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Monday, 2 February 2004 04:38 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm assuming it was an accident (or sabotage on the part of wardrobe) -- like maybe the leather was supposed to come off and the lace was supposed to stay?

But anyway I can't help thinking "poor Janet" and the intensity of my feeling sorry for her ... well, it suprises me.

― Paul in Santa Cruz (Paul in Santa Cruz), Monday, 2 February 2004 04:41 (twenty-two years ago)

― Paul in Santa Cruz (Paul in Santa Cruz), Monday, 2 February 2004 04:42 (twenty-two years ago)

"It's unlikely that MTV will produce another Super Bowl halftime."

Translation: Viacom owns VH-1 as well.

― Eric H. (Eric H.), Monday, 2 February 2004 04:42 (twenty-two years ago)

"Wardrobe malfunction". That's as believable as Justin's England-hate. And God Damn, does he look like a wasted-ass tramp in that pic. Miss Jackson looks like she almost wants to slap him. Great photo.

― Barima (Barima), Monday, 2 February 2004 04:43 (twenty-two years ago)

So it was unintentional, and she always has that big gold spiky thing attached to her nipple?

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Monday, 2 February 2004 04:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Don't you?

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Monday, 2 February 2004 04:45 (twenty-two years ago)

All part of the newest plastic surgery techniques.

― Barima (Barima), Monday, 2 February 2004 04:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Hmm... for a very short period of time puberty was doing Justin so many favors, but now and like the proverbial potion that keeps working its magic to the detriment of the magician it looks like it's starting to destroy him.

― Eric H. (Eric H.), Monday, 2 February 2004 04:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Good point about the spiky thing. Hmm.

― Paul in Santa Cruz (Paul in Santa Cruz), Monday, 2 February 2004 04:47 (twenty-two years ago)

That's a pretty common thing if you've got your nipples pierced.

(close enough.)

― Eric H. (Eric H.), Monday, 2 February 2004 04:51 (twenty-two years ago)

That looks like a piercing "surround" - sorry, I don't know the technical name for them but I've seen them before. It's like a little decorative plate around the nipple that's held on by a piecing bar. And yeah, I guess people wear them as often as any other piercing. Looks that way to me anyway.

oh, x-post... yeah REALLY looks that way now!

― Kim (Kim), Monday, 2 February 2004 04:51 (twenty-two years ago)

It's a nipple shield.

aloha

― hoooo, Monday, 2 February 2004 05:03 (twenty-two years ago)

Don't ask me why, but I just had to go look at the freerepublic.com forums to confirm my guess that they'd be totally up in arms about this "network-sanctioned pornography" and they sure enough didn't let me down. Even better, they choose to turn a blind eye to Kid Rock desecrating an American flag because he's ostensibly made statements that he's "for the troops" so, of course, he's only guilty of making a slight faux pas. But Jackson and Timberlake and CBS and the NFL all deserve to be sitting in jail cells tonight, according to them. God I love going over there to make myself needlessly angry!

― Eric H. (Eric H.), Monday, 2 February 2004 05:06 (twenty-two years ago)

Wait wait wait THE GAME was boring?!?!?! What world are you living in?!?!? The game was fantastic!

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Monday, 2 February 2004 05:07 (twenty-two years ago)

It's all junk food news, in'nt it?

(x-post yes that game actually was good it was sort of sad to see it end on a namby-pamby field goal)

― Eric H. (Eric H.), Monday, 2 February 2004 05:08 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah! The game was fantastic. No question.

I wish I had seen this! It's a really great publicity gimmick, I'm actually really impressed. The Madonna kiss thing didn't work for me because of how stiff and unnatural the whole thing looked, but I bet she had thought of this.

Well unless you have TiVo (or some such thing) Sean you didn't really miss much. They cut away pretty quickly for live TV.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Monday, 2 February 2004 05:29 (twenty-two years ago)

What makes this little episode even more amusing is that Janet and Justin were an item for a while. A little something for old times' sake?

(There's long-standing gossip that Ms. Jackson is into S&M, so the nipple ornament isn't so surprising.)

― j.lu (j.lu), Monday, 2 February 2004 05:33 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah, but why does her piercing have to be as big as Rollins' back tattoo? the fuck?

What will it take to educate Hollywood-worshiping white trash on what is poor taste?

Pierced nipple, sure, whatever.

Grab your crotch, yeah, monkeys do that sometimes.

Parade around in an American flag like it's a poncho, then discard it to the floor when you're done with it? THAT'S OFFENSIVE, ASSHOLE.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Monday, 2 February 2004 05:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Hahah "Ms. Jackson sports a unique silver nipple piercing, known as a "nipple shield." To emulate her distinct look, you can purchase similar jewelry here."

God they're selling it already. Come on, this wasnt an accident surely.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 2 February 2004 05:48 (twenty-two years ago)

He threw it to a stage hand behind him, who managed to keep it from the floor. For some reason I was waiting for it to hit the floor too.

― cinniblount (James Blount), Monday, 2 February 2004 05:53 (twenty-two years ago)

N-kay... there are lots of hoes at the bottom of that page in the other "NFL galleries" or whatever. In fact, CBS News' coverage of the weekend leading up to the game looked more like they were covering Mardi Gras. And Janet's going to take the fall for 'em all. Damn I'm starting to feel sorry for her.

I liked the URL of the one that was completely removed.

(By the way, I need to stress that my "double down" joke was directed at the second picture that's no longer here, because they were playing strip poker and shit and not the droopy booby lady in the one that's still here because obviously it wouldn't make sense to joke about her when she's not playing poker.)

Word is he was supposed to strip just an outer layer, leaving a removable layer that covers exactly one breast.

― Leee Majors (Leee), Monday, 2 February 2004 06:38 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah, if this was intentional than janet's come a long was as an actress since poetic justice

― cinniblount (James Blount), Monday, 2 February 2004 06:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Possibilities:

1) It was supposed to be the other breast - this would explain Ms. Jackson's expression in the above photo.

2) The garment was caught on a hangnail.

3) In a last-minute rescheduling, Mr. Timberlake was replaced by a passing vagrant, unschooled in the ways of love.

― jazz odysseus, Monday, 2 February 2004 06:42 (twenty-two years ago)

"replaced"

'augmented' might be the better term

DAMITA JO will be released on March 29.

Wasn't P. Diddy PERFECT as part of that parade of artists appearing to each lip-synch a verse of a four-year-old song, as flares exploded behind them? He was actually the only one who really "worked," since the spectacle defyed any concept of "music" or actual "entertainment" to the highest level possible, and only Diddy can actually be entertaining in such a context. I love P. Diddy!

The boob aside, it was kind of sad to see Janet try to share the stage with Justin... it came off like he was doing her a polite favor. These aging pop stars just don't have the magic anymore, compared to their of-the-moment counterparts!

Here in the Vancouver area, a local talk radio station editorial said that "nobody over 16 watches MTV, and nobody under 16 watches the Superbowl". Americans, is this true?

― The Lizard, Tuesday, 3 February 2004 22:10 (twenty-two years ago)

Heh, and Donna, you could make an even worse pun based on the two of them (the two people on stage, that is) -- Justin and Just-out. Okay, I'll shut up now.

And The Lizard, that's what I suspected. I'm also well over 16, and watch MuchMusic fairly often (more than once a week), but I'd also heard that MTV doesn't really feature actual music anymore, so I can imagine it putting off an older demographic if it's a whole bunch of shows like "Becoming" or whatever. And yeah, the sports thing sounded wrong too. If he'd said "most people over/under 16" it might have made some sense, but he said no-one.

― David A. (Davant), Tuesday, 3 February 2004 22:21 (twenty-two years ago)

Is it me, or is the bigger crime here not the tit per se but the way in which it was revealed? Something about the whole idea of the white male doing black music outshowing the black female artist, then proceeding to declothe her in a most uncouth way that suggests some underlying themes of racism, sexism, etc.

But Oliver, misogyny? Please. Like Janet wasn't in on it (however far from the "script" it may have strayed). I'd always see her as the more powerful of any twosome that included herself and JT, whatever the genders. I mean, come on.

Next you'll be calling Madonna's kissing of Britney and Christina sexual exploitation of children. Oh wait...

― David A. (Davant), Wednesday, 4 February 2004 06:38 (twenty-two years ago)

See, now this I can appreciate. I don't expect people to agree with me but saying "whatever" is so razor-thin, I have no place to go with. In this case, at least people have pinpointed what their objection. For the record, I'm not in support of mostly anything the FCC does (now and yesterday and tomorrow) but if MTV gets spanked by CBS who get spanked by their viewers, and someone in turn spanks Janet (who I agree, was in on it and shame on her) and Justin, then good.

I mean, "misogyny" is a harsh word for me to use but I'd rather, in this case, err on the side of saying too much than too little. I mean c'mon, we all know this shit, in the long run, won't change much except that next year's Superbowl half-time show is guarnateed to be rather snoozy. If this can at least remind the larger populus that violent, sexualized acts against women should not be tolerated, then I'm with that. I mean, seriously, what the fuck is the FCC going to do? Slap the #1 network with a fine of a few hundred thousand dollars? That shitty Linux/IBM ad with Ali probably could pay for that four-fold.

I'm just surprised Kerry and Edwards haven't had Nipple-Gate their new platform.

― Oliver Wang (Oliver Wang), Wednesday, 4 February 2004 08:00 (twenty-two years ago)

"If this can at least remind the larger populus that violent, sexualized acts against women should not be tolerated, then I'm with that."

I fail to see how "this" reminds anyone of anything other than showing your nipple piercing for one odd second during the Super Bowl will not be tolerated. I mean if any of this "punishing" was really about taking a serious stand against aggression towards women that would be one thing, but everything I've seen thus far indicates to me that this is the farthest thing from most folks minds.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Wednesday, 4 February 2004 08:09 (twenty-two years ago)

If this can at least remind the larger populus that violent, sexualized acts against women should not be tolerated, then I'm with that.

That's a big "if", though. Honestly, between the rabid "family values" people down there (I'm in Canada, by the way), and the seemingly willful obfuscation by CBS, MTV, not to mention the hundreds of thousands who downloaded the images on TiVo and the Interweb, etc., most people outside the US are just shaking their heads at yet another apparent example of bizarro-world American Puritanism. I mean, it was just a breast, ferchrissakes, and an attractive one at that...

But having said that, I do understand your point. Sure, it'd be nice if people in general stopped to think about the larger, wider socio-political aspects (intended or not), but it seems unlikely. Misogyny is depressing, but I honestly can't see much overt misogyny here (unless I conflate racism and misogyny -- a backlash from all those middle aged predominantly white American males disturbed by their own individual responses to a partially naked black woman, perhaps... which takes this discussion places I'm not sure ILM can handle, given its track record of, as you astutely say, snarky boys getting all pissy and saying absolutely nothing!).

Okay, breathe.

Constipated Killjoy Cal Thomas lets his joyless opinion be known.
http://www.townhall.com/graphics1/columnists/thomas.gif
(I defy anyone to tell me this man doesn't need more fiber in his diet.)

The Caligula Broadcasting System does the sleaze bowl Cal Thomas (archive)February 2, 2004 | Print | Send Maybe it's appropriate that Super Bowls are numbered with Roman numerals. Sunday's, Super Bowl XXXVIII, featured a halftime show that could have served as backdrop for one of Caligula's orgies. Remember Super Bowl XXXIV? The halftime entertainment was produced by Walt Disney Productions. This year's was put on by MTV, and the difference was as stark as that between heaven and hell, between good taste and garbage. The commercials also reflected what the networks apparently think about our remaining "community standards." Janet Jackson, a member of America's most dysfunctional family, bared a breast during her onstage gyrations. There were the usual network apologies to "anyone who was offended." Jackson's singing partner, Justin Timberlake, should get the award for the ultimate in disingenuousness: "I am sorry that anyone was offended by the wardrobe malfunction. ... It was not intentional." Sure. Why, then, was Jackson wearing a pasty, instead of underwear that might have limited her exposure during the "malfunction"? Other singers, including P. Diddy, grabbed their crotches (a la Michael Jackson) and promised through their lyrics to have sex with gyrating women, who signaled their interest by removing some of their skimpy outfits. There were so many commercials for erectile dysfunction medications, one might have thought it has become an epidemic, on a par with AIDS or cancer. Other commercials featured a flatulant horse igniting a candle that blows up in a woman's face; a dog that bites a man in the crotch until he surrenders his beer; and a chimpanzee that puts the moves on a woman and then asks if she has a problem with back hair. CBS, once known as the Tiffany network, has been gobbled up by its MTV division and morphed into the trash network. Sunday's halftime show was soft porn, and those apologies and assurances - that the excess was a surprise to management and won't happen again - are insufficient. A father, his children and grandchildren (and women who like football) should be able to experience rare family time in front of the television set in their own home without being surprised by such sleaze. CBS should have expected trash. Anyone who watches even a little MTV knows that raunch and roll is standard programming fare. If you hire people like these, you're not going to get gospel music. The FCC - which recently warned it might start issuing heavier fines for indecency and obscenity, and revoking broadcast licenses - announced a "thorough and swift" investigation into Sunday's halftime show. But it's a little late for the FCC and Chairman Michael Powell to be expressing outrage. Where was the commission during CBS's Victoria's Secret fashion show? Why didn't the agency take action after singer Bono uttered the F-word during NBC's airing of Golden Globe Awards last month? It's easy for free-speech advocates to argue that if you don't like something, you shouldn't watch. But Sunday's halftime show came as a complete surprise to viewers and, I suspect, was unwelcome by many, to judge from the calls that flooded CBS. Freedom of speech should also allow for viewers to be free from speech they don't want to hear, and images they don't wish to see, on broadcast television, especially with young children in the room. A TV ratings system is supposed to warn audiences what to expect so they can decide whether to watch or not, and shield their children or not. One doesn't expect this sort of thing from the Super Bowl. The National Football League says it won't hire MTV to produce another halftime show. As for CBS, it has trolled too deep and gone too far in its unending quest for younger viewers. Just after the Jackson-Timberlake fiasco, a naked man streaked onto the field. If his "act" had been moved up just a few minutes, he would have fit seamlessly into their show. CBS cameramen focused elsewhere. Was the network suddenly gripped by pangs of puritanical morality?
One commentator made a joking reference to "naked football." I was ready for some football. I was not ready for this.

Unlike Thomas, I am pro-tit all the way and say that if Thomas doesn't like our media, he should try living somewhere where it is more strictly controlled. Such as China or Iran.

I'm all for subverting american institutions and shocking people, but what did this act do that did anything to shake things up in any kind of interesting way? all it did was reinforce americans fear of sex, fear of their own bodies.

SUPER BOWL VIEWER SUES JANET

JACKSON, JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE, MTV, CBS and Viacom over last Sunday's
infamous breast-baring incident during the Super Bowl. Knoxville
native Terri Carlin says she was "caused to suffer outrage, anger,
embarrassment and serious injury," due to the event. The suit seeks
billions of dollars in compensatory and punitive damages.

Greg Jerrett: Simple fix for fear of the flesh 02/07/2004 Move over 9/11, the day America lost its innocence is now 2/1, Feb. 1, 2004. The day - or in some cases, the day before - all of America saw Janet Jackson's right breast exposed by Mr. Justin Timberlake. For shame, America, for shame.My only real complaint about the whole "Janet Jackson showing her breast during the Super Bowl half-time show" scandal is that she and Justin Timberlake don't have the guts to stick to their guns. You know? You've got Justin running around trying to back pedal, lying like a little child who knows he's busted, but thinks he might be able to squirm his way free of the FCC's wrath by telling the most outrageous of lies, "It was a wardrobe malfunction, only her bustier was supposed to be exposed." Then why the sunburst nipple ring, Justin? Come on! Then you've got Janet trying to prove that Michael isn't the only reclusive freak in the family by tape recording a kind of apology/explanation for the masses. What a sister, huh? Nary a mention of Michael since last weekend, now that is love. I'd like to see J-n-J stand up together and proud and say, "Yeah, we planned it, you gotta problem with that? Why you gotta be so uptight any way?" Or at least tell a GOOD lie like "We did it to show racial unity for Black History Month, you gotta problem with that?" And then there are the children. Oh my God, the children! Who will safeguard their precious naivete and sweet, sweet ignorance from Janet Jackson's hoo-hah? Even boxer Mike Tyson had a comment. "Everybody slips on the banana peel of life sometimes. You know what I'm saying?" Yes, yes. It's so true. And who would know more about slipping on that banana peel of life than a convicted rapist and suspected cannibal? Are we to believe that one poor excuse for nudity in the middle of all the orchestrated violence of the Super Bowl that features steroid-shootin', cocaine-snortin', girlfriend smackin' genetic freaks between commercials with flame-fartin' horses, erection pill-poppin' coaches and bikini-waxin' comedians is going to mess up this nation's children? I hate to say so, but 90 percent of the little darlings will one day have breasts themselves. How is that supposed to make the girls and fat boys feel? Let's be concerned about how our children are supposed to grow up normal when we clearly don't know what normal is. I'm more concerned that our kids never move, frankly. The only reason nudity is "dirty" to begin with is because we make it "dirty." Take our uptight friends the Brits. They are known world-wide for being easily embarrassed. Sex is a bit of a taboo subject for them as a nation as well, at least it is in the bedroom. But they are also pragmatic, fairly rational and appreciate a good artistic aesthetic. Nudity has been a staple of British television for decades. Not as some kind of way to shock viewers - though that may have been the case on a couple of "Benny Hill Show" episodes - but for the same reason they show people driving cars, eating breakfast and talking: it's a natural part of life. At some point, hopefully on a weekly if not daily basis, everyone gets naked for legitimate, natural reasons. But let's be realistic as well. Organic nudity can be a great educational incentive to an American kid raised to think the human body is dirty. Why do you think I started watching PBS? Sometimes - rarely even - they showed naked women in foreign films or in documentaries. Before long, I was watching PBS because the shows were just good. In college, I advocated that nudity should be allowed on television, but only on PBS so our kids would watch hours and hours of educational TV while waiting for even a few seconds of all-natural nudity. I stand by that suggestion. Breasts, in spite of our national obsession, aren't any more dirty than any other body part. In fact, instead of symbolizing something kinky, they should be symbols of life and sustenance. Why? Because that's what they are for suckling children and why should we live in a country where most kids know that men like women's breasts before they are aware of them as the milk-producing organs they are? Fully half the country is shocked and horrified at the sight of bare skin while the other half are on the edge of their seats going, "Ooh yeah, that's so hot." And it's for the same reason. We're raised to think of sex and everything about the human body as naughty. Well, it was once considered the height of forbidden pleasure to see a respectable woman's ankle in this country. When was the last time you knew anyone who couldn't control themselves after seeing a bony ankle? Well, that's changed and good for it. I think the same benefit could come from defusing the nudity bombshell. My solution is simple. Right after the nightly news on Sunday (the most boring night of the week), everybody should go outside and get naked. Show the world what you're made of. Front and back. Top to bottom. Nothing salacious, just an informative peak under the hood at the outer inner workings of the human body for the very legitimate scientific and social purpose of putting an end to the great mystery of what we all look like naked. Because you know what? While some of us may be in better condition that others, we all got pretty much the same stuff. - Greg Jerrett is a Nonpareil staff writer.
