    OK, Janet Jackson's boob pops out during the end of the live cbs broadcast of the superbowl. It looks like Justin Timberlake accidentally ripped off part of her custume, and thats what caused her mammary to flop around, exposed to half of america, and numerous foreign fans, on live television...

    I mean, I understand that its really stupid that this happened, but now the FCC is investigating it etc, and tv has released all these little statements and stuff, which I also understnad is sort of necessary, but what i DONT understand is what is the big fucking deal?

    I mean, the main grievance is that "Oh you evil MTV monsters! My 4 year old was watching the game! Now he knows what a black woman's boob looks like!" (translation, now he knows what his sole source of nutrition looked like 3 years ago.

    What the fuck is so special about a woman's breast. It sure seems like us guys like to stare at them, but would they be so special if women went around shirtless in all the situations a guy would? I doubt it. I remeber a time when half of a blurry polaroid of a b-cup bra would give me a boner, now it takes a ully exposed bush, leather straps and a few midgets for a porno to be worth my time.

    I think its a female thing. Women always talk about wanting equality in the work place etc, and they can have it. But in terms of relationships etc, they have always had the upper hand. Why? In my opinion half of it is the hypnotic mystery of a little bit of cleavage. If society took that away, that would be the first real step towards male/female social equality in a long time. Besides, when you get right down to it, its just a slight difference in the elivation of the epidermis, and may be a slightly larger than average nipple compared to a man's, when they're out in the open they're really not that special (after you get past the initial adolescent fascination i described before).

    I guess my point is that the women/priests/conservative ass holes of america really need to get over the whole boob secrecy thing, sure we dont need to flaunt it on television, but who really gives a shit anyway?

    I agree with you, but why the fuck is this a poll? The poll is a moronic addon to a decent post.

    This has to be the best post of yours that I've seen, Sleek_Jeek. You have some really good points and I agree with most of them. If you look at other countries that do not have the nudity taboos that we do in America, the attitudes are a bit different and they look at us like we are nuts when we get uptight about little things like this. Personally, I think they are right. It was a little thing that should just be glossed over and forgotten. Women's breasts are natural and should be seen as such by our society and not treated as sex objects that have to be kept hidden at all times. If we, as a society, would just realize that, then we would be a lot healthier in a lot of ways and a lot more stress-free.

    1. Beautiful woman's breasts are a thing of beauty and frankly, I wouldn't like to have everything served on a plate so to speak. Not seeing something, working your way :) to see it is exciting. And many, many more things are beautiful about breasts being more or less hidden.

    2. My opinion from no.1 doesn't mean I wouldn't like to see naked woman around me.

    3. That jacket accidentally tore. Accidental my ass. I saw picture in a paper today and she had some metal thingy on her boob which actually covered it. Yeah, you sure as hell wear such things when you're not about to "show"your boob.

    Dragoon, most women that I know wear such accessories as part of their daily wardrobe: they're very comfortable and you never know when your clothes might malfunction and fly off from your body. See this Ozzy t-shirt I'm wearing? Held on by a whim and a prayer; you'd think they'd make these things better in this day and age. I even wear a decorative cover-star "down below" , just in case.

    Haven't encountered that one ever before, but I'm not gonna get into argument, on what women find comfortable, with a woman.

    I think I read Dargoon's post correctly and I agree with it. There is something attractive about a pretty girls' breast you know you'll never touch!

    the funniest comment i've seen so far was a man on cnn accusing mtv of manipulating our youth with it's conspiracy to show janet jackson's boob to his 4 yr old. and then the guy next to him complaining that he already has to lie about levitra to his 11 yr old, and there should not be any adult content on any cable network, for fear his youngster might see it and become depraved...

    not actually having watched the superbowl beyond the end of the first half, i have no idea what actually happened, i just find the aftermath rather amusing.

    oh, yeah... MY BOOBIE! NO TOUCHIE! :D

    I wasn't watching. I was online. :)

    Seriously, it wasn't accidental IMO. I don't understand how such a thing could be accidental.

    I would rather not see saggy Jackson ta-tas, and I thought that the whole thing was in rather poor taste. I know you want to be thought of as straight JT, but darling, it'll never happen.

    Honestly, it upset people because the Superbowl is supposed to be good clean fun, not a semi strip show, and it was viewed as very in very poor taste.

    1. As if it wasn't planned. She just happened to be wearing a strategically placed piece of jewellery? Please.

    2. Accidental rip my ass. From what I've seen it was a deliberate grab and pull. Either that or he was going for a feel and fucked it up, which again, wasn't accidental.

    3. Sleek, there's some women's group in America that agrees with you. I forget what they're called, but their members get arrested quite often for walking around in public without shirts on.

    Eh...it happened, can't change it now. People should just get over it....

    I mean, like during the 20s, whenever a female showed an ankle....people freaked out...I'm sure in about 20 years, breast will be nothing....

    Strange way society changes....

    Hey man, we're not the western hemispheres most conservative country, we're just the greediest, and therefore are completely anal about our foreign policies, and our president is a member of the kkk, but that doesnt mean I'm all outraged over one boob on national television. Just because George W. Bush's favorite book is the Turner Diaries, doesn't change the fact that Bush got to the White House riding on fewer votes than Gore, who some believe actually recieved more votes than bush.

    I'd think Nicaragua would be the most conservative country, you know? A place where they pay you 5 cents an hour to pick poppies and make cocaine, and on the way home the CIA trained police force stops every single mexican they see, in accordance to the core rules of their CIA training.

    As I've not consumed any caffeine product this morning, I'm torn halfway between "Sleek is an idiot" and "Sleek just made a funny that I'm too tired to get".

    So, are you at all serious?

    Bah, I think he's joking. Either way, it sounds more like an angsty teen going through his "OMG AMERIKKKA SUX! I WISH I LIVED IN THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF A LITTLE TINY COUNTRY SOMEWHERE!" than any sort of joke or rational thought.

    It was indeed a joke, its not something to get really... the only possibly obscure reference is me saying bush's favorite book is "the turner diaries." Thats a book about a fictional, modern day all out race war, and is a sort of handbook for neo-nazis.

    Funny you should put it that way Snowey. I was in Barnes and Nobles yesterday and I saw a book called "Quitting America:the Departure of a Black Man From His Native Land." The title kind of interested me, so I read the note on the insode of the jacket, it said it was about a black man fed up with the unspoken racism of American society and his experience of moving back to the country of his ancestors (this is non-fiction by the way). The whole thing was pretty fascinating for the first 12 pages; he traced his family back to a small island (I think its Haiti or something) and I almost bought it, but then the narrative built up to "The social crimes of America, specifically WHITE americans..." and I just got pissed off at that point. Its kind of a helpless ort of feeling to know that I've committed crimes against this man and his people, and it sort of ruined my day. Anyway, The point is that its not just angsty teens that have these immature notions, 50 year old african american authors do too.

    I think its one of those simple events with too much fanfare around it. Yay, a boob. Kids will eventually grow up and see some, so the quicker they know what they look like and learn their proper handling, the better. Its not like it'll warp their minds in a terrible way, or somesuch.
