LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Janet Jackson's revealing Super Bowl halftime moment has created fallout for "ER," with NBC removing a glimpse of an elderly patient's breast in Thursday's episode.

The network said Wednesday it had "unfortunately concluded that the atmosphere created by this week's events has made it too difficult for many of our affiliates to air this shot."

1. Heaven forbid!

You can have your pick 7 nights a week from crime shows that detail every horrendous crime you can imagine, but let's not show any boobies on TV, OK?

2. well i'm glad er has learned it's moral lesson

kill gi's and innocent iraqis, but keep those breasts away from god fearing americans.

3. Is this a repeat

cause they aired a episode with an elderly woman's exposed breasts earlier this season - and yes I went blind

4. Thank you lord

I don't want to see any old boobs on TV. Think what will happen to America if we learned that with age, skin wrinkles. What would that do to us.

I say the only boobs that should be allowed on TV are the ultra-enhanced ones found on Cinemax.

5. Well every one knows that seeing a breast will

result in the downfall of the country.

Violence and sex and profanity in music, tv, and movies, though are ok.

Of course, no jobs, no healthcare, bad education, war...those things have no impact on our future.

6. I'm getting burned out on Boobs...

Janet n' Justin get dis-invited to every Tee-Vee show they were gonna be on. MTV gets banned, 1/2 time shows are cancelled because people are "afraid" (of a TIT???? What, like your mom didn't have at least one?)

and what does it all serve?

7. Hmmm. Never realized Jesse Helms was on "ER"....

Maybe I should watch it more often.
