Okay was it staged or an accident?

CBS broadcast was live as Janet Jackson's breast was explosed during last night's half time show at the Super Bowl.


Timberlake blames 'wardrobe malfunction'
for baring of breast at halftime show






Janet Jackson reacts after fellow singer Justin Timberlake ripped off one of her chest plates at the end of their halftime performance at Super Bowl XXXVIII.


The Associated Press
Updated: 10:01 a.m. ET Feb. 02, 2004NEW YORK - CBS and MTV both say they had no idea that their Super Bowl halftime show would wind up with singer Justin Timberlake tearing off part of Janet Jackson’s costume, exposing her breast. Timberlake blamed a “wardrobe malfunction.”



“CBS deeply regrets the incident,” spokeswoman LeslieAnne Wade said after the network received calls about the Sunday night 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. Her nipple was covered by a pastie.

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


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 in which it also apologized, saying the incident was “unrehearsed, unplanned, completely unintentional and was inconsistent with assurances we had about the content of the performance.”

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.”

Some of the poorest excuses I've ever read from a national TV network. The backpedaling by everyone involved is phenomenal. I believe the apologies as much as I believe John Kerry never intended to toss his medals and decorations over the White House fence three decades ago.

Perhaps there is room for Janet Jackson at her brother's defense table? He grabbed his crotch, she grabs her breast. Must run in the family.

With the problems facing us all over this earth...I think this would be a non-issue.
Some channels on TV show more than a woman breast.
Than there the movies, not only porno that show total or partical nudity.
I might be in the minority on this issue.
But all of the above are my opinion on a non-issue...

I had filed a complaint with CBS as soon as it happened.
I am appalled they would let something like that happen.
It was a sporting event. Not an MTV awards ceremony.
There were children watching.

I do believe it was planned by Janet and Justin. C'mon, when was the last time Janet sold an album...everything now a days is about money.
I would be happy to not have any half time show during any pro ball event.

If you look real close you'll see the DuPont logo! Semtex to sillicone, now that's a diversified company!

If you look real close, they are little ones, not at all appealing or attractive. LOL

That dang sure wasn't a pastie, but like others here, I don't like it, but I also think it isn't that big of a deal-no pun intended.

CAS3-
I agree with you 100%. The half time "entertainment" was geared for the MTV demographics.
Now, I really enjoyed the National Anthem. (a song where all the words were understandable) It was sung with style, grace and not a whole lot of vocal gymnatics. The very beautiful woman who sang it didn't have to have her pectoral area showing to get attention.

I heard that Justin was supposed to rip off only the first layer of her clothes,but instead he "accidentally" ripped off both layers.

I'm not meaning to be disagreeable but the non-issue here is an issue because of the venue. There was no warning when this came out of left field and into the homes of familes who do not wish to have their children view this kind of activity. What happened to "Prime Time Screening"?

Sure it's all over the waves but we know it's there and can avoid it and protect children from it.

"I'll have you naked by the end of this song?"

Interesting...
