Are you upset about boobie-gate?

[Renew Deal]

[Momof1]

1. Upset the boobiegate is

going to take steam out of all the news media. Take time and not report the real issues.

25. Men bashing each other simulating death, is somehow better than a breast?

A breast is kind and gentle and of no threat to anyone... but commercialized violence, death simulation, aggressive behavior, smashing the crap out of each other, much more, over faux real estate or some imagine values in a piece of pigskin.... and more, the mighty manly nee penis victory....

Is somehow overshadowed by a breast... the cradle of life... the essense of life.

Got it.

[POed_Ex_Repub]

2. The only thing I'm upset about...

Is that it wasn't Britney.... I mean, that it wasn't tasteful.. yeah, that's it. ;)

[Dookus]

3. I'm finding it more and more enjoyable...

at first I thought it was just sorta silly. Now, seeing the reaction, I'm all "All right Janet! Good for you!"

[lcordero]

4. Yes

they didn't show enough:evilgrin:

[MercutioATC]

5. Damn, you're hard to please. Did you see the hi-res shots?

It's a nipple shield and there's clearly more nipple than shield.

[POed_Ex_Repub]

6. They've got a closeup on Drudge now...

It's newsworthy I guess.

[LincolnMcGrath]

7. That ain't no pastie

In that drudge photo it looks like a pierced-on Brooch.


onedit: metal 'solar' nipple medallion according to informed sources.

[Seldona]

8. But think of the children!

rofl

I voted no.

[Missy Vixen]

9. Hmm, let me get this straight

It's appropriate to show a piece of jewelry on a woman's exposed nipple on live national television in order to keep the guys watching -- shall we say, happy? -- but it's not appropriate to show a commercial stating WHO is actually going to pay for Bunnypants' little adventure with our fighting men and women?

Which one of the above is more obscene to most adults?

Julie

p.s. In the interest of keeping this a family board, I did make a comment to DH in the vein of "it's hard for me to believe that Justin Timberlake is so self-deluded that he would think Janet Jackson would actually give him the time of day."

[Wonk]

14. Apparently it's being referred to as a "wardrobe malfunction" now...

:shrug:

[Missy Vixen]

30. "Wardrobe malfunction"?

What was the "malfunction" part of that activity -- the majority of her top actually stayed on despite his best efforts?

Hey, Justin, if you want to rip off a woman's clothing on live national TV, at least be man enough to accept responsibility for your actions, you punk.

I have to laugh: MTV is now insisting that there was no "pre-planning" of this stunt, even though they promised something "shocking" from Janet Jackson's halftime show last week on their website. Go figure.

[VOX]

10. NO!!! I like the fact that the CBS switchboards were smoking!

Particularly since the moveon.org ad was refused by the network because the spot "wouldn't pass standards and practices."

Hah!!!!

[Buns_of_Fire]

11. Everything is different now

The world is a much more dangerous place after Janet bared her boobie. I mean, it was right there, in front of God and everybody. John Ashcroft is thinking about having her bronzed.

Our lives have changed forever.

[Liberal Christian]

12. BO-ring.

[Dover]

13. How many who answered this poll are males under age 16?

Under 18?

Just curious to know who NFL/CBS's marketing dept. was targeting.
Very successful apparently.

[Exultant Democracy]

15. Anything that puts the fundi freepers in a tizzy is good in my book

Well there is one thing that pisses off the freepers that pisses me off too, and that is the killing of white Christians, but unlike them the killing of people that aren't white Christians also upsets me.

[Hubert Flottz]

16. What's wrong with a little illegal use of the hands?

What's wrong with instant replay?
What will the children tell you?
What will the Arabs in the middle east think?
Will the halftime entertainment at our middle school football games follow suit?
Why do things like that only happen in Texas?
Was that simply done for the guys in Iraq watching the game?
Wasn't her backfield in motion before the play started?
Why didnt they review the play?
Was CBS trying to sell milk or beer?
Why didn't I tape that damned game?

[buddhamama]

17. no.

if the concern is for the kids who were watching the Super Bowl, they got plenty of T&A from the commericials, an exposed nipple flashed quickly hardly seems worthy of discussion.

btw, i thought Janet looked good.

[scarlet_owl]

18. No. The only upsetting thing is how much I have to hear

about it. Great, something else to distract everyone. :eyes:

[rasputin1952]

19. I think that "Kid Rock" should have been in that sleigh...

with horse, while holding the candle!

:evilgrin:

[buddhamama]

20. hahahaha. indeed

:-)

[Kamika]

21. We must destroy Janets Weapons of MASS Destruction!!

Wont somebody think of the children!

oh and our freedom

[Lars39]

22. I'm interested in the lyrics to the song that was sung.

What was the song about? "I'll have you naked by the end of the song?" is possibly suggestive of (date) rape. Janet is left standing there with her hand over her breast, acting shocked and confused, in a choreographed number, reinforcing the *no means yes* excuse.

It's not the bare breast that is alarming, it's the message we're sending to impressionable girls and boys. That it's OK to be aggressive and grab and rip a girl's clothes off. That it's something that will happen to you if you are a girl. We are going backwards in this country. :(

[dweller]

26. thank you

somebody else gets it.
it's not even subtle or subliminal. It's blatant.

[Shrek]

23. Boobie-gate? ! ? ! ?

Did I miss something? :cry:

Rats! Someone help me!

[foreigncorrespondent]

24. Hell NO!

I say it is about damn time Americans got to see a little boob and ass and a lot less violence and war.

[Hubert Flottz]

27. Every time you turn on the TV you are exposed to a bunch of .....

Rethug D--- Heads so WTF?

[Loonman]

28. Took focus off the game

If I want to see boobs, I know where to go.

Not during Half Time on CBS.


Can we ship the whole Jackson family to Mars?

[Bertha Venation]

29. How can I be, when great stuff like this comes of it?

Thanks to Sapphocrat!

Who knew my cat Toby was onstage in Houston?
