Dear denise,
I think it's vital that we all keep abreast of breaking news stories. But this one, in my opinion, was a big bust.
Regards,
John |

What was the big deal? She showed part of a nipple obscured by a sunburst piece of jewelry. I've seen more teat revealed by sheer fabrics! |

Yeah, simply brilliant way to get publicity started for your new record - they must've worked really hard thinking that one up! |

It's become the most searched for image in internet history. Talk about exposure. |

So at the moment she's enjoying the exposure. The day will come when she will want all the coverage and support she can get. |

Honestly, have you seen the picture? Is that really Janet? Looks more like Michael with flab.
Really, all this fuss over a boob. Now I understand why breast feeding is so frowned upon in America. Weird thinking. |

I too was amazed at all the uproar over a booby flash. It is okay if shows with graphic violence (cop shows) or questionable morals(Jerry Springer, temptation island, etc.) are shown, but show a breast and people get upset that their children will be mentally scarred. |

Agreed. This thing has been blown totally out of proportion. Personally, I wasn't offended at all. However, I think it is important to put this event into context. Remember, practically everyone in the United States watches the Super Bowl, including their children. Parents are led to believe that the halftime show is going to be rated PG at worst...imagine their surprise when they were subjected to Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson bumping and grinding on one another. The grand finale is Justin saying to Janet "I've got to get the clothes off of you" and then forcefully ripping off part of her top. I don't think Americans were offended by seeing Janet's boob, I think they were offended by the manner in which the exposure occurred. |

I'm nearly 30 and I still get hysterical when I see a breast.
Oops. Did I say that out loud? |
