You kidding? I think it is proof positive that they finally got a hold of Saddam’s WMDs.
Weapons of Mammary Distraction?
Now that would have been cool.
I agree with Diogenes. Anybody who seriously gets worked up about this is just plain stupid. It’s a freakin’ boob. People who see it, and yes that includes children, aren’t going to become rapists and murderers and music downloaders. They might become Democrats, though. 
Oh, and yeah, I saw it. Normally I wouldn’t be watching the Superbowl (I’m a baseball man; don’t care much for football), but I was at rehearsal all day and there was a TV in the greenroom and I was bored and so there I was and there the boob was and I shrugged and then I came home and CBS is acting like they were handing out babies at the gate to be tossed from the third deck onto waiting spikes. I mean, gimme a break.
Remember, this is America, we giggle when we see female body parts. :rolleyes:
I was rather suprised people weren’t ringing in to complain that when P. diddy’s mouth weas moving, it was actually the voice of Mace that came out…
I bet Justin felt a right tit.
Watching on replay, it sure looked like Timberlake’s move was intentional and not in the least due to some “wardrobe malfunction”. If it was a surprise to Janet Jackson, it would have been nice to see her start kicking the crap out of Justin Timberlake on national tv.
As it’s being portrayed, it seems a little too much like the drunken lout style of grabbing and fondling found in new-woodstock style mosh pits.
I think it was completely calculated. I think it’s a shame that it’ll be a huge news story for the next few days. And, while I would dearly love to see a relaxation on nudity on tv, I don’t think having some man rip part of some woman’s blouse off is a smart or desirable way to bring that about.
The Superbowl’s a family event, so out of respect for the audience, the entertainers should gear their show to all ages. If Titgate '04 was not staged, it only came about through the stupidity of Handsy Timberlake and whoever designs jumpsuits with perfectly round tearaway tit patches. Nine-year-old girls love to imitate dance moves–that’s the only reason Paula Abdul ever had a career. So maybe, when it’s pretty obvious that nine-year-olds will be watching, don’t give them a pole dance to imitate. Don’t bare tits; don’t wear outfits with perfectly round tearaway tit patches.
My boys Phish sang the National Anthem at some game once. They didn’t wear what they usually wear to perform (jeans, jeans, jeans, and the hairy little drummer likes to wear a sundress). They wore nice shirts and jackets. They sang straightforward, four-part harmony. They didn’t try to personalize it. Phish knew this wasn’t their usual crowd, but out of respect, they adapted their act. All the non-Phish fans I know, who saw them sing and asked, “Who were those guys?”, were impressed with them.
Respect. Try it Justin and Janet; it feels good.
But let’s admit this: wouldn’t the world be a better place if it was?
If Al Qaeda were behind the Boob plot, it would have been Roseanne up there on the stage.
I don’t get how a sporting event that revolves around drunkeness, lingerie bowls contrived by alcohol advertisers, and with a perception that the players are folks who try their hardest to adopt a thug persona and get themselves arrested for everything from domestic abuse to murder is somehow akin to a “family event.” This smacks of the “Won’t somebody please think of the children!?” attack to me. Only made by people who have no actual logic to defend their viewpoint.
That being said, there aren’t enough :rolleyes: in the world to express my :rolleyes: at the event, which I first heard about on CNN this morning (though I watched 15% of the superbowl, between episodes of Xena: Warrior Princess and Queer Eye for the Straight Guy). Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake could only promise us the crassness that is the bottom of the barrel. Next year, can we have something a little more tasteful? Say Victoria’s Secret’s models wrestling in jello?
As an aside, I’m from Charlotte, I’m proud of my team putting on a great game. Take that Hornets! Suck the cock of the Panthers!
Ahem.
I’m sorry, but there was nothing about the entire halftime show that was “family”. I mean, Nelly sang, “It’s getting hot in here…so take off all your clothes”, there were only enough clothes present throughout the show to cover about 10 people, and Justin Timberlake was grinding up against Janet Jackson’s backside.
I certainly don’t mind any of this and I pretty much enjoyed the show (except for P.Diddy - that guy sucks!), but “family” it was not.
Yeah…that’s pretty much my point.
I thought it was a fake. It looked sorta white and floppy. Not unlike the fried egg I had for Breakfast.
I was going to start a thread about how the SDMB have three threads on the topic (General Questions, Cafe Society and MPSIMS), but that would have been a fourth thread in the Pit. Thanks for doing it for me.
Janet Jackson now has twice as many threads as breasts.
All we have to do now is think of a tit-related Debate, a tit-centered Humble Opinion (floppy and fried duly noted, Honey), and a tit-related question About This Message Board, and Janet’s boob rules this board.
All hail the Nipple.
Think that’s obscene? Just imagine if some players pants had torn and the world got a glimpse of the effect steroids can have on a man’s winky! Or look at what a man of 45 looks and moves like after spending about 10 years getting the living crap beat out of him once a week.
Violent, noisy and cruel. And all about the money. Says it all, don’t you think?
Ah! I see what you mean. Damn reading comprehension skills.
You all won’t believe this…
I’m sitting here listening to our local morning radio program. They have, for years, aired a 5 minute CBS news feed on the top of the hour, every hour. People are calling in now telling them they’re not going to listen to the station anymore if they continue to air the feed (because it’s CBS and they’re boycotting :rolleyes: ). Give me a freakin’ break.
Aw, man, first I missed the Britney-Madonna snog, now this. No matter; the Houston CBS affiliate, whilst feigning outrage on their part, showed the clip of the boob-unveiling at least five times on their 10PM news show. Said boob pixilated so that we were spared the permanent mental scarring that might result if we viewed a nipple, of course.
I too think the sanctimonious huffing and puffing by CBS is hilarious. Firstly, CBS featured leering shots of the teams’ cheerleaders nearly every time they cut away to a commercial. Secondly, immediately after the game, on Survivor, we were subjected to at least three different scenes in which Richard Hatch flashed the family jewels (albeit likewise blurred out). Thirdly, anybody who has ever seen an image of Janet Jackson probably already knows the exact size and shape of her boobs. Fourthly, what exactly are they blaming MTV for? It’s not like an MTV exec ran up on stage to yank off that piece of Miss Jackson’s (if you’re nasty) garment. Can no one consider that maybe the artists came up with this on their own?
What may be a bit less hilarious is that the local CBS affiliate also reported that at least 100 people had phoned up the Houston Police Department demanding that both Jackson and Timberlake be arrested, presumably for indecent exposure or lewd conduct or some such thing. Naw, that’s pretty hilarious, too.
Hey, decent game though, for once.
It is pretty weird that Jackson’s breast has taken over the actual Super Bowl. I did not appreciate having to hear 20 minutes on the subject before finding out who won the actually game (Go New England!).
