<<"I demand compensation because CBS, Janet Jackson and Justin
Timberlake went absolutely out of their way to make me look like a
fool" Mr. Bosell said. "I am asking other people to come foward and
join my lawsuit against CBS, Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake.">>
LMAO
It's only a fuckin' BUB!!!
Gee, some ppl sholuld get a life, get laid and... wouldn't see the whole thing so offensive any more...
I'm really surprised... On British TV we've got now show called "I'm a Celebrity (are they...?)- Get Me Out of Here" and they're showing sth like Jordan and some other girl eating some worms alive... Pretty tastless and disgusting yet seems like this is a SHOW, this is sth ppl watch (probably so bored...) and- the most ridiculous- it seems like this kind of stuff (or 1000 dead ppl on the screen in another Rambo/Commando/Natural-Born Killers kind of movie) is considered more normal and natural or less offensive than such a beautiful thing like sex!!! Or even ONE (NOT TOTALLY!) BARE BOOB!!! Don't you think this world is f**ked up right there....?

looks like this one isnt a joke--
NEW YORK — For Janet Jackson (search), it was the breast of times, but for one Tennessee woman it was so bad that she is filing a federal lawsuit demanding billions of dollars in damages.
Bank worker Terri Carlin (search) wants compensation for herself and millions of viewers "injured" by the lewd behavior of Jackson and fellow performer Justin Timberlake (search) during Sunday's Super Bowl coverage.
On Wednesday Carlin filed a proposed class-action lawsuit in federal court in Knoxville, Tenn., against Jackson, Timberlake, broadcasters MTV and CBS and their parent company, Viacom.
The suit fails to specify what injuries Carlin suffered when she saw Timberlake rip off part of Jackson's costume, exposing her breast, saying only that: "As a direct and proximate result of the broadcast of the acts, [Carlin] and millions of others saw the acts and were caused to suffer outrage, anger, embarrassment and serious injury."
The lawsuit argues the broadcast companies and the singers breached an "implied" contract with viewers not to subject them to sexually explicit acts during what should have been family entertainment.
"All of the defendants knew that the Super Bowl, the preeminent sports event in the United States, would be watched by millions of families and children," says the claim, filed by attorney Wayne Ritchie II.
Jackson has apologized, saying a red lace garment was supposed to remain on her breast when an outer garment was ripped away.
She denied that the NFL, CBS or MTV, which produced the halftime show, knew her plan.

<< It's not normal. It is whoreish and disgusting. >>
One could argue with that...

"Morals are not as moral as they once were."
I'm sorry, Matt, but this really irritates me. You're lecturing us on morals, yet when it comes to the Bootleg Tree, you ignore them. There are other morals, like honesty and responsibility, that you disregarded.

How about Nelly grabbing his crotch on stage. Nobody said anything about that.
How about all those Superbowl commercials full of bimbos wearing skimpy outfits and making suggestive moves? And else can we say about those ads with lots of sexual innuendo.
I'm sure there will be lots of children far more affected in terms of morals and ethics by hearing their parents and other people curse constantly while watching the Super Bowl than by barely watching Janet Jackson's breast pop out for 1.5 seconds.
Screw the NFL, and the FCC. This whole incident is making them look like a whole bunch of hypocrites.

You disappoint me, Matt.
You failed your responsibilities, you ignored emails, and now you claim I'm being "holier-than-thou." As for "who the fuck cares," I'm guessing the person you let down was disappointed. Glad you can casually dismiss him.
So by all means, stop posting on QZ for awhile, then come back under an alias when you think things have settled down, My New Purple Shoes, I mean, Lucy was High. I'll still remember your behavior, since I'm just a persistent pain in the ass.
That is, of course, assuming you have the guts to read this, instead of running away from your problems.

None of this would happen if you Americans didn't watch the game..stick to more conservative sports like table tennis, hopscotch, hookey and cricket...yep, good old cricket.
Still back in my day black vocalists bearing their breasts was a God send. We used to sacrifice them to our local Catholic Reverend.
The point is if we all stick on this subject for many a day people will think that we have some sort of contrafibulatories to share.

Adaptation : (C) 2004 Andrew Solkin, British Colombia, Canada
On Super Bowl Sunday, a singer's right tit
O billow, tit-billow, tit-billow!
Gave folk in America one mighty fit,
O billow, tit-billow, tit-billow!
Each jaded New Yorker, each Arkansas rube,
Unsuspectingly watching the game on the tube,
Didn't know that at half-time, he'd see Janet's boob,
O billow, tit-billow, tit-billow!
A storm in a D-cup, a molehill indeed,
O billow, tit-billow, tit-billow!
That prompted the FCC's blustering screed,
O billow, tit-billow, tit-billow!
Each TV reporter, each pundit pronounced
That the MTV moguls deserved to be bounced
And the network executives all be denounced,
O billow, tit-billow, tit-billow!
Now I haven't the tiniest bit of a doubt
O billow, tit-billow, tit-billow!
'Twas no "wardrobe malfunction" that made it pop out,
O billow, tit-billow, tit-billow!
Though her talents, though meagre, have won her some fame,
Her silicon figure is what makes her name,
Any "star" in a thousand would do just the same -
O billow, tit-billow, tit-billow!
Lyrics: Andrew Solkin. Original score: Gilbert & Sullivan

If that was an accident I'm Robbie Williams.
I've never seen anything so obvious in my life, and to think they tried to cover it up. Shameless. I tell thee, I'm going off that Timberlake boy-he's off the rails these days innit!
Oh, and as for morals and stuff, I dare say kids in America (and everywhere else for that matter) have got more to worry about than with whom and how Justin Timberlake dances to his songs. If people can't take a tit popping out on tele then they need to get out more and get a sense of humour.

The US who bought us Deep Throat, John Holmes, Ron Jeremy, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Basic Instinct, Pam and Tommy and (some) of them can't handle seeing a tit. I supoose we Brits are immune to it having page 3 and all that.
Having said that after seeing Judy Finnigan's massive bra a few years back at the TV awards that knocked me sideways.

Wow, after reading that I cannot believe that a boob can cause that much damage. Perhaps if another boob is shown it will be the cause of WW3.
