Janet's career will go on, but what if the tables were turned and she had ripped the front of Justin's pants open...?

Somebody would surely be in prison right now.

I can't believe the reaction this has got... from a country that is running some sort of show called the Lingerie Bowl... Lighten up people! It's a boob! A wonderful thing! Not only is it a perfect food for babies, coming in its own beautiful packaging, it doesn't harm the environment, is self-refilling and sustaining, provides health care for infants, and plenty of stimulating fantasies for older men and women. All praise the breast!!!

You go Punkgirl18....I agree 100%...About these jerks who think it is immoral,what? Aren't these the same bunch who taught "family values",but think it is discusting when a woman nurses her baby in public?

fuck that shit, if these old pos christian/religious fascists(word of the day) think they can say whats moral and immoral for america they have another thing coming. Who sets whos standards? Oh my god a breast, mtv, and a breast who wouldve imagined...lets pay more attention to a lame halftime show / entertainment world here than whats going on in iraq and how if bush gets back in office were well gee, fucked?

all i have to say is,

Go Janet

I could care less about the uproar her boob created. I'm a long time fan of boobs. Hell, if I had some of my own I'd quit work and sit at home to play with them. My only problem with the incident is that it violated a current law. I'm not saying the law is right or wrong, but I do know that if I break laws I get punished. Fine her and Justin and move on. If you don't agree with the laws, then vote people in that support your views and the laws will get changed.

Actually Janet's nipple is pierced. The sun nipple shield that she was wearing is open in the center and a delicate bar passes through the nipple's horizontal hole to secure the shield in place.
I have seen a picture of her wearing a doorknocker type of ring what is called a "captured bead ring".
I saw the show in a bar in Italy and it was really late, when I saw this stunt I thought for sure she was wearing the doorknocker ring...but upon closer inspection...I am just glad that I don't have to explain this to a den of boy scouts and girl scouts.

***Wanda Kitty gathers herself for a rant***

Ok, as a woman who has flashed her boobs to several tens of thousands of people EVERY YEAR during Carnival for at least ten years, I say;
"BIG FUCKING DEAL"
She warned everyone she was going to do something "shocking" and she did!
OK, I do have a little problem with the fact that she was playing to a TV audience that includes kids, but it was her BREAST!!!
SO WHAT????
It is mostly MEN who are bitching, like that uptight pole-up-his -ass "I want to be tough and strong like Daddy" FCC Commissioner Powell who is being the bigest obscene prick!!!
(his daddy is Secretary of State, Colin Powell)
He is acting like Western Civilization is going to fall!!!
If this is all it takes to really hurt our country, then maybe we need to rethink our beliefs and priorities.
The government will use this to exert more control over TV, movies, topless bars, beaches, print media, and I bet the Web too!!!
The got 200, 000 complaints!!! Out of an audience of how many BILLIONS?????
I have been mostly apolitical as an adult. My interest has been limited to Lesbian and Women's issues, but NOT ANY FUCKING MORE!!!
I am re-registered to vote, originally at the insistence of my beloved, who is helping me write this (as an editor and source of information only, she is NOT putting words in my mouth) but now I am realizing the horrible society that my (and others like me) indifference to politics has created.
Massachusetts has now been FORCED by their own court to allow gays and Lesbians to marry, and the Federal Government is having apoplexy!! They want to pass a federal law, or failing that, a constitutional amendment to CONTROL WHO I CAN MARRY!!!!!
Maybe they will outlaw gay lesbian and bisexual behavior, now that the Court has said that states can't do it.
Should I expect the MORAL POLICE to break in my door and arrest me?

Closer to home for all of you.

If the government has it's way in this issue, bare boobs, sexual content, etc., what do you think will happen to Pixies?

*is too tired and near crying to rant any more*

WANDA

Wicked Wanda,

Well good for you! And me. And everyone.

Your freedoms, and my freedoms, are more likely to be nurtured by your active participation in the practice of politics than by inaction.

In defense of Powell the Younger, the 200,000 complaints to which you refer translate into about 20 per minute for each minute since the incident occurred. Politicians tend to take notice of trends of that nature. Their appointees ignore trends of that nature at their peril.

We have no problem with babies seeing tits--after all, that's where they eat! Why should it suddenly become bad as they get older?

Loren,

I believe that it is because it is generally accepted that babies have a different point of view about breasts (if I may use the expression) than do men.

I just think it was all planned. Besides, from the pictures I've seen, I didn't think it was worth the fuss, cos her assets werent that special.

I was watching the game, but don't remember it, must have been getting a drink. HOWEVER, I was taping the whole night, for a later time. SO I shall have a look at it tomorrow and see bt only for research purposes you understand...

I know--I just don't consider the attitude reasonable.

Vote Wanda Kitty! :)

*big huggles for Wanda*

So she showed us a boob......

Her brother has been grabbing his balls for years and many many kids have seen that act and followed suit.

It's funny, a few years back it was made legal for a woman to go topless in Ontario....that fad lasted a week LOL
