I had to comment- I screamed for a full 5 minutes with my sister-in-law when Justin T. ripped the cloth off Janet J's boob. That had to be the illest, dopest, deffest Superbowl halftime I've ever seen, fershizzle...

Doods, I don't even think I'm going to ever get that image out of my mind...

Ah.. mah...Gaaad...

My wife just told me (imagine me on BF instead of watching the game, look what I missed.)

I figure, hey, you've got your big shot on the Superbowl half-time show, so you go all out to grab as much publicity as possible and be talked about for the next few weeks.

What's really amazing is how short a time it took for a video clip to get posted to more than a dozen websites... about 15 mins. I didn't see it when it happened (not watching the Superbowl) but someone mentioned the URL for the clip on an IRC channel I was monitoring.

Publicity or no, it was some mind-blowing action on network television. That, and the fact that they didn't beep out any of the Kid Rock lyrics, considering all the stuff he was rapping about. But Kid Rock is genius, and I likes my Kid Rock... :D ;)

Actually she was wearing a pastie. Subsequent "analysis" images from the vid-clip reveal that.

I saw the pasty- she did the Lil' Kim for the halftime show. Still, the show was just awesome, and we were all hi-fiving each other and laughing so hard I think I spit my drink out all over the dishes I'd just washed! It was good shizzle. ;)

I'm not one for football, but I do like Nelly, Kid Rock, and I love Janet, so when I heard she was headlining the halftime show, I skee-daddled on over to the tv when my sister-in-law announced the show was about to start. I just really thought it was a great show, and the ending was great! I swear, even I wanted a piece of Janet after that! ;) :D

That's something that's always baffled me about censorship. Why is a naked breast 'rude', but one where the nipple is covered by a few square millimetres of tinfoil, but is otherwise naked considered 'clean'?

Personally, I'd had enough of the halftime show when the writhing, half-naked men accompanied Janet's first number - left the room and didn't return until the game was ready to go again.

BTW - anybody else watch any of this "entertainment" through a new set of lenses, so to speak, since 9/11? Sometimes when I see stuff this over the top in prime time, I at least wonder what the Arab or Muslim world thinks about our mass entertainment. Part of me can see why they'd be appalled, too.

Haha..I was gonna slam the halftime show. I find it a total waste of time and this one proved no different to me. I ended up turning off the game to watch the surreal life (yep I found that show more interesting) and game back partway through the 3rd.

Now...tongue kissing lesbians :)

The game kicked though. Damn good football in the end :)

CBS Apologizes for Jackson's Exposure

NEW YORK - CBS apologized on Sunday for an unexpectedly R-rated end to its Super Bowl halftime show, when singer Justin Timberlake (news) tore off part of Janet Jackson (news)'s top, exposing her 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."

"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, saying the incident was "unrehearsed, unplanned, completely unintentional."

CBS is really going to take a lot of flack over the halftime show - it's already started. My kids are all grown and gone, but they used to watch football with me - especially the Super Bowl - before they were even in elementary school. With the lyrics and the rauchyness of the show, I'd have been embarrassed to have them watch it. In fact, I'd have turned it off. Kids do not need to have sex and explict lyrics shoved down their throats. I know it's on MTV, in magazines, in music, and everywhere else these days, but I don't think it belongs in a Super Bowl halftime show to the degree it was tonight. The "entertainers" showed no respect for the viewers, themselves, or each other. It's just another example of the entertainment industry not being in touch with the majority of Americans' values. Now, I'm no prude. I think adult entertainment has its place - in an adult environment - not the Super Bowl halftime show. Watch - next week there will be numerous incidents at grade schools of boys trying to tear off girl's tops like they saw on the show. I guarantee there will be some incidents and the media will pick them up, except CBS of course. Too bad the halftime show marred an excellent football game.

Ok, let the flames begin....

that she was singing a 22 year old song.

End of the road for the Naked Rambler

JOHN ROSS


HE HAS amused and horrified in equal measure. He has been laughed at, beaten up, accused of being a pervert, arrested, jailed and become one of the most famous people to take the well-travelled route from one end of the country to the other.

Yesterday, Stephen Gough, the man dubbed the Naked Rambler, finally reached the end of his journey, John o’ Groats, seven months and nearly 900 miles after setting off from Land’s End.

Gough, 44, was cheered to the finishing line by a group of local residents and celebrated with a bottle of champagne - and by putting on his clothes.

Despite having not washed for seven days, he stopped short of taking a plunge into the Pentland Firth as the water was too cold.

However, his insistence on walking wearing just a bush hat, boots and carrying a rucksack, which led to him being reported to police on numerous occasions, was attacked by one MSP who accused him of seeking self-publicity to the cost of the Scottish taxpayer.

Gough, a former Royal Marine, took so long to complete his marathon as he spent five months behind bars.

In all, he was arrested 15 times, four times in the Highlands, and made four court appearances. The cost of legal hearings, as well as his accommodation in the already overcrowded Porterfield Prison in Inverness, where he spent Christmas and New Year, is estimated to be several thousands of pounds.

As he reached John o’ Groats yesterday, he told the waiting media that he undertook his walk as a protest, in order to celebrate the naked human form, and to try to convince the public to stop being "paranoid" about the naked body.

He said: "Despite landing up in jail so often, my mind was set to complete this mission, aimed at making people think more liberally. There is nothing wrong with the naked body, but unfortunately changes in thinking will happen slowly.

"I can’t say I was annoyed at being arrested because it actually helped increase the publicity. Without the harassment then there would be no journalists here. In fact the police officers who I have met have been very kind to me and wished me all the best throughout. I appreciate the law is different in Scotland.

"In England they really just let me get on my way, but there is no such discretion here."

He said he was looking forward to a big meal, having run out of food and been forced to drink water from streams.

He said he may write a book about his adventure.

Gough, of Eastleigh, Hampshire, has had repeated run-ins with the law in England, Wales and Scotland en route. He has appeared three times at Dingwall Sheriff Court and once at Inverness Sheriff Court in recent months, and was released from prison only last Thursday. Each time he appeared in the dock naked apart from a blanket held up by a police belt.

He was charged on each occasion with breach of the peace by conducting himself in a disorderly manner, walking naked in the presence of the public.

He was jailed twice and spent a total of five months behind bars. While in Porterfield, he refused to wear clothes and was placed in solitary confinement.

He still faces trial in Duns, Perth and Inverness on similar breach of the peace charges.

But Mary Scanlon, a Highlands and Islands Conservative MSP, said she was glad Gough would be leaving Scotland.

"Given that Porterfield is the most overcrowded prison in Scotland and has staff shortages, the presence of the Naked Rambler has added to the existing problems at the prison. Its outrageous that the Scottish Prison Service has to pick up the tab for this person.

"If someone wishes to highlight their human rights I don’t see why the taxpayer should pay the bill."

Mrs Scanlon said the walk seemed to be more about self-publicity than making any claim for naturism

Well, after extensive research on the Internet, :D I found out that the pastie is merely a piece of jewelry, which seems to be affixed to the nipple. This seems to be more for accenting the nipple than for covering the nipple. Have I typed the word “nipple” enough now?

Anywho, the whole thing reminds me of one of my favorite Seinfeld episodes ..."I'm not sure...correct me if I'm wrong...but I THINK I see a NIPPLE."

I think it blows that the half time show completely overshadowed the opening ceremony and the tribute to the Columbia and its crew did not get more coverage. I think they should have incorporated more of a tribute into the half time show. What society deems important and the things that people get upset about these days just blows my mind.

The game however did kick arse!!! Best super bowl in a long, long time.

Both my husband and I figgured it was a purposeful stunt when we saw it.

My husband was suprised that the halftime show was so raunchy; he was saying this before the "dissappearing cup" act.

I was giving thanks that we don't have any broadcast or cable television at our house! (We watched the game at my mom's)
