I wonder how many of them are being paid by CBS.

Who said it was OK? We''''re just addressing as many problems as we can, one at a time.

The mere fact that a momentary flashing of a breast on television is something you consider a problem worth spending one second of time worrying about, shows the person with the problem is YOU!

FCC shoul ban Spandex on big women if they want to do something worth while.

[thisandthat1]

Why even have an FCC if the courts are going to undermine it''s authority and overturn their decisions? Just let everybody get on TV and say or do whatever they want to and I bet the first people who scream bloody murder are all these phonies posting comments on here about how it''s no big deal!

Who cares? Janet is a beautiful woman. God created her that way. I doubt anyone was really hurt by what happened. You people who can''t accept God''s art need to get a life and apologize to God for insulting his creation. As for me, I just give thanks for the beauty.

In most cities, that would be called "topless dancing."

If you need a city permit and an I.D. check to do it, it doesn''t belong on broadcast TV.

YES, there WAS, years ago.

The delay was eliminated to make it "more live."

It was only a matter of time before some sleazy performer took advantage of it. Janet Jackson became that sleazy performer.

The result - the broadcast delay was brought back.

It wasn''t even a bare breast, it had a pastie on it--

Can someone please tell me how this is signficantly sexually different than the Women''s Beach Volleyball tour we see on NBC all summer with primarily gay women wearing as little as possible playing a two-person/team volleyball in their water panties? Does anyone really play 2-person/team beach volleyball except for NBC?

It occurred dishonestly, it was tacky, trashy and tasteless.

Just like the music it was set to. Notice the organizers of the Superbowl have only found British performers (Macca & the Stones) suitable for the great American game since?

Given the violent garbage that gets an "R" rating and the stupid fuss about things like language and ssexx in this country, it''s no wonder kids grow feeling confused.

Just Like OUR Dicck

What a Puritan country we are when it comes to s e x. It''''s embarrassing (notice how I had to type s e x broken up because CBS sensors even that word).

Our country needs to take away all hang-ups regarding nudity. Take away the "sin" and "evil" attitude towards nudity and I''''ll bet there would be a lot less perverts running around.

Our "american society" needs something for sure but even in countries that do not have the baggage this country does around sexual matters there is a time and place for everything. There are countries where men and women are nude together in public saunas and people aren''t doing the mating dance around each other for all to see. I think the incident was deceptive. It occurred dishonestly, it was tacky, trashy and tasteless. What has been happening in the U.S. over time is prudishness is being replaced with vulgarity. Someday, maybe this nation will find balance around sexual matters and some form of classiness will be restored.

somebody should fine every whacko who was troubled enough by half a second of a bare female breast to complain to CBS or the FCC.

I mean a monetary fine in addition to the penalty of us all laughing at their ridiculous puritanical prudishness.

[nssherlock1]

While it is ALWAYS nice to see a boob, hers were not worth $550k. I say $3 and call it even.

[no2zeebas]

Maybe the one who should be fined for the ugly teat episode is the one responsible...Tacky Jacko...It was her ugly teat that was uncovered, I think the offending teat should be cut off and fired into space aboard the next available space shuttle flight...

[u-r-right]

I agree with most posters here. I saw the incident when it happened and I thought it was just a crappy dance and singing routine performed by mediocre talent. I knew all along it had to be intentional. There was no malfunction. Our country needs to take away all hang-ups regarding nudity. Take away the "sin" and "evil" attitude towards nudity and I''ll bet there would be a lot less perverts running around.

[xxunknown]

that whole Jackson family gives me the creepies. Ick.

[xmanborg]

The FCC are a bunch of IDIOTS completely controled by the Bush White House.

[ksjeff-2009]

What convoluted logic this country employs.

The bare breast of a beautiful woman is deemed "obscene", but the burned, decapitated body of a soldier is commomplace on the evening news.

We are a morally befert country run by savages.

[sayso2]

The incident added nothing to the performance. What, a fleeting glimpse of a boob? Anyone with an ounce of talent doesn''t need a salacious gimmick like that. Surely her and her brother can do better with their god given talent.

[erasmus81]

They both are the blame.

I agree. I don''t believe it was an accident.
