[size=1]Heh heh, back to your usual self then eh Warlock.

I've only seen rerun clips of this since the it happened on the national News and to me anyway the whole thing looks like it was preplanned. I think the whole "Justin getting back at Britney" thing is plausable with Timberplank just trying to do some over-the-top stupidity to get a little more publicity.

More than likely Janet did this stupid stunt to try and shy the cameras away from Janet's brother Michael and I think it just might have worked although it has put her in the same "nutcase" lot as her brother now.[/size]

[B]Horrors. A breast on television. What ever shall we do? Quick shield the innocent children's eyes, for letting them see a naked breast will surely scar them for life.[/sarcasm]

I don't see what the big deal is. I mean, your kid is gonna see a breast at some point in their lives -_- [/B][/QUOTE]

[color=green]I?ll tell you what the matter is?

The Super Bowl is a family affair. Everyone, young and old watches it. There?s also something in our society, in case you haven?t forgotten, called decency. It?s not publicly exposing yourself on television.

Yes, most people will see a naked breast within their lifetime. Many of the parents who are watching the Super Bowl with their children don?t feel that it is appropriate for their children to be exposed to that kind of partial nudity. There is something to be said for letting a child be a child.

This kind of behavior and exposure can be found in other places, and I don?t have a problem with that. The Super Bowl is prime time TV that is one of, if not the most, viewed event of the year. Performers are expected to behave themselves. This does not mean dirty dancing on TV.

In my opinion, the entire halftime show was completely inappropriate for the game.

This was a disgusting display of our culture?s declining morals. Hopefully the FCC will slap everyone involved with backbreaking fines.[/color]

The next day was the day her single was going to be released. It's sad what she has to do just to get people to listen to her music. But that's just my opinion on the issue.

Yeah it was planned according to my sources. They said that Timberlake and Jackson planned it between themselves. All because she looked shocked means nothing. She could have faked that or she could have been shocked that it happened so nicely. At first sight I thought she had it covered like little kim, but I looked a little closer and no way was it covered. Plus isn't she supposed to be black? Her boob was white.

I definitly agree! I had a feeling that Justin did that stunt to get back at Britney; for that VMA kiss with Madonna. This is very interesting though. After all the stupid things she's doing; sounds to me that someone's got the last laugh.:laugh:

Also, if what you said about that plan Janet did for Micheal, then...well...a sister's love is always a good gift. That sounds cool to me. Hmm....maybe this not only a super show stunt; it's just a politic payback to a crazy relationship and a phony crime story. Just my opinion though. Too much thinking.:sleep:

[size=1]Yes and I think it was us, for being able to laugh at the moronic lengths entertainers will go to fulfil a vendetta against someone they have a grudge against, still I can see why he chose the Super Bowl to do it. I however agree with Boba on this though, I think that what both of them did was stupid and wrong because there were families around the US trying to enjoy the game. (I don't even know who won) And this stunt has given a lot of grief to a lot of parents around the US.

As for Mr Timberplank's (yes that's a pun on his name not a spelling error) quote saying that he had nothing to do with it and that it was all Janet's idea I have a few words: [b]Grow up, get a pair of testicles and accept your punishment like a man and not like whining little child[/b]. I think that both of them are imbeciles for what they've done, even if Janet did it out of love for her brother but Plank does deserve a good swift kick in the *** for this and a heavy fine to give us another laugh.[/size]

[size=1]I don't know why I'm responding to this but I am so I might as well give an explanation. In a person of Janet's case there are two possible answers to this question:

[b]1] The Scientific Explanation:[/b] People's skin pigment regardless of color changes due to the amount of sunlight it receives: ergo if your white and you go sunbathing you get a tan. It you go out sunbathing or working in an area with heavy sunlight exposure then your skin will darken, or tan (assuming your skin is light in color). However anywhere that's covered will stay its natural color, that is true across the board.

Now in the case of people of a darker skin tone already, their skin just keeps it's natural darkened pigment to allow them to deal with the sunlight without burning. However area that are not exposed such as the palm and soles of the feet will lighten in color from lack of exposure to direct sunlight. In Janet's case it's evident she hasn't done a lot of topless sunbathing....

[b]2] The Jackson Explanation:[/b] [I](Note this is farcical and hopefully not really true or plausible.)[/I] She's gradually changing her skin color like Michael did only working from her feet up, it's only reached her breasts now but by next year her face will probably have a new detachable nose (sorry couldn't resist) and be white as a sheet. This is an secret attempt by Michael to re-launch the Jackson Five with a new fresh new look.

(OK now before somebody attempts to kill me I'd like to point back to the note and repeat that this is merely a joke. I'm actually a fan of Michael Jackson's old music but not of the man's personal choices if the allegations made against him are true.)[/size]

Although it was done intentionaly, Justin was unaware that Janet would be exposed like that. She told him that when he ripped off the breast piece, her red bra would still be there. If you watch carefully, when this happens, Justin gets a look of complete shock over the exposure and has to look again to make sure of what he had just seen. Then when the fireworks go off, he jumps aand gets even more startled. Now he had been practicing the routine, so you can only assume that he knew about the explosions, but was so offgaurd by Janet, that he forgot about everything else.

[color=indigo][size=1][font=century]I didn't see it, and I was content in my ignorance of it, because, let's face it, professional sports are useless. (At least, to me.)

However, after seeing images of the halftime show *everywhere*, I've come to the conclusion that Janet and Justin's peep show was a good thing.

You see, for far too long, MTV (More Trash Vision) and most hip-hop and pop (Piles of Puke) have been degrading the moral decay of the country, infesting our culture with filthy and promiscuity. I'm not an uber-morallist, but with the family hour dead and gone, and the Disney Chanel and Cartoon Network the only TV that my sisters can watch unattended....well, someone had to say something.

It's good that this happened, because now, maybe people will actually realize just what is going on, and they'll take actions to prevent this disgusting parade of slime being pumped through our airwaves.

See, it all boils down to responsibility. It has always been the responsibility of parents to make sure that what their children were being exposed to was approporiate. The media doesn't care, frankly; they're a business, in to make money. It is the parents' job to let the media know: "Cross this line, and there will be consequences!"

What continues to amaze me, though, is how actavist groups and soccar moms go ballistic over stupid stuff, like "satanic" Yu-Gi-Oh cards and the "unconstitutional" Under God verse in the Pledge of Allegience. (In all fairness, I think that clause should be dropped, but for different reasons: it wasn't part of the original Pledge, and I don't think the Pledge should be modified in the first place.)

Don't get me started on the ACLU ("You can't say "under God", but you can look at some porn at the library!")

Anyway, food for thought: If we're not setting standards for our media, who is?[/color][/size][/font]

First of all, DeathBug, I'd like to mention that you are one of the few people on this site who has excellent post quality! :)

Sooooo true! Parents are wondering why their children are getting pregnant at age 15. When and where were they exposed to such smut? Parents don't even THINK of the most influential source: the media!

Who HASN'T been influenced by the media? But is it really the media's fault? I don't know. I guess they've never proclaimed themselves to be the "caring guardians of our children." And who says they have to be? If parents didn't just plunk their precious babies in front of the boob tube for hours because they were too lazy to spend time with them, then what do they expect?

To all parents, do just that: PARENT!

[color=violet]The only reason Justin did it was to prove that he was [i]really[/i] on stage with [i]Janet[/i] Jackson and not [i]Michael[/i] Jackson.

That said and done, I think people have been giving this whole episode a bit too much attention. Honestly, this has gotten more media attention than the Super Bowl. The Patriots won their second Super Bowl ever, but all that everyone will remember is that on the Second of February, 2004 Janet Jackson along with Justin Timberlake got together to flash America.:rolleyes:

As for the parents complaining about the indescent exposure-excuse me, but that was a school night and wasn't the Super Bowl on until about 9:30 in the EST? If you're so worried about your young children being exposed to indescent sights, maybe you should put them to bed at a descent time. You're the parent, not them. Don't say that the kid doesn't want to go to bed, make them.

Okay, I'll give up my soap box to someone else now. So long![/color]
