Janet's Superbowl Gag Gone Awrye...

[Wind_Borne]

Out of proportion?

Yes:

• We don't need to waste a lot of taxpayer money on a big investigation of the affair. Just apply the codified fines and move on.

No:

• The simple fact that parents with kids from all over the country are ticked off is proof of that. Remember that we burners are not representitive of the Superbowl audience; and neither are MTV viewers. Until Sunday, most parents would have considered the Superbowl to be wholesome entertainment.
  
  Of course to a burner, a bare breast is hardly news-worthy. But our community does advocate respect for others. I think that includes parents in Iowa raising kids according to their beliefs. I also think that includes children, who shouldn't fear a sexual assault because of the actions of some arrogant performer.

You are so right.....I forgot , chasing down some guy in tight pants running with an air filled pigskin, tackling him to the ground by any means nessasary even if it's jumping on top of him and beating him to a pulp as everyone swears and curses, is much more wholesome than a little tity .

[juanicoheal]

Unless it's the titty in silver bouncing on the sidelines in undulating cheers

[zanaru]

I think we all enjoy some titties, but I think they are better when the owner shows them, not when they are exposed by someone else...

I agree.

That was really done in bad taste. Well on T.V. anyway....what you do in your own home as role play......

And what's this about Justin being appauled. Is he allowed?

[Rob the Wop]

That was really done in bad taste. Well on T.V. anyway....

There's a difference between "bad taste" and T.V.?

[juanicoheal]

and who was the choreographer anyway?... jackson or timberlake?

kick, ball-change, kick, ball-change
spin, grab and pull
cue explosion

- anybody notice that Jackson released a new single on monday? or that new eveidence was presented in her brothers case monday afternoon?

Can I hear a D-I-V-E-R-S-I-O-N

[DE FACTO]

i hope that the world starts to realize that there is nothing wrong with being an exibitionists.

Well at least Americans.


It's totally tons of fun.

Imagine being exposed suddenly in front of that many people......oh......oh......oh.


seriously. Really gotta hand it to her though.....more balls than most guys.

I enjoyed the photo of Ms. Jackson's breast on this thread yet I did not see the half-time show nor the football game for that matter.

However, I would enjoy seeing them up close and personal.

On another note, I would say the mock violence man against woman and the image of a white man disrobing a black woman harkens back to pre-civil rights days. I find the activity (Timberlake's disrobing/Jackson' exposure) disturbing.

No it certainly wasn't family entertainment, yet this is a "free" country... so I guess anyone with enough money or clout can be as shocking or disturbing as they wish. It seems like this may have taken a little of the limelight off of Ms. Jackson's sibling.

I want more nudity on TV... everywhere for that matter... just not something that symbolizes something as wrong as our slavery past and the oppression of women.

Janet has been told that she will not be preforming for the Grammys this week, however Justin's performance will go on as scheduled. Little boys at kindergardens all over the US are now ripping little girls tops off as a result of Justin's prank. Why is it the women always get's admonished and called a slut while the guy is patted on the back an then slapped on the hand.

I don't see this in particular as a case of unequal treatment. AFAIK, both of the artists were asked to "apologize" as a condition for participating in the Grammy hoo-haw -- that Justin did, and Janet didn't, might make her more admirable, I suppose, apologizing being a sign of weakness.

Maybe the real issue is the Recording Academy refusing to apologize for not requiring the same for all members and nominees, not to mention that "god" they keep thanking for giving them their higher than deserved placement in the mainstream music hierarchy. A few crocodile tears from a Clear Channel executive would be a sure-fire Grammy hit. With a bullet.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure God is rolling his eyes like crazy during the rap music awards segment...

God; "Look you asswipes, I did NOT inspire you to write a song about slapping up your bitch, doing a driveby, or capping some cops, so quit thanking me for it!"

[Apollonaris Zeus]

If everyone is upset with Janet exposing a boob, why doesn't any complain about Billy Crystal totally nude crotch grab!

Women get the fucked and the guys get away- most of the time!

Ashlee Simpson and That Lip-Syncing Feeling


By Lisa de Moraes
Tuesday, October 26, 2004; Page C01

Another embarrassing female "reveal" on live TV.

This time Ashlee Simpson was caught lip-syncing her "live" performance on NBC's "Saturday Night Live."

This Milli Vanilli moment has caused great embarrassment not only for Simpson -- who initially blamed her band but later switched her story and blamed acid reflux disease -- but also for "Saturday Night Live," which for years has promoted the fact that its weekly live music acts are, well, live.

Simpson, the 20-year-old younger sister of Jessica, began to disassemble her career toward the end of last weekend's "SNL," which was hosted by Jude Law.

She was supposed to sing "Autobiography," the title track of her debut album. But when she started to gyrate -- a pop music tradition to signal the start of a song -- Simpson began to sing "Pieces of Me" -- which she had "sung" earlier in the program. Miraculously, while that was happening, Ashlee's microphone was at her side and her mouth was closed.

Momentarily confused, Simpson looked from band member to band member as if for a cue as to what to do. Then, being the pro she is, she did what she does best: She did a hoedown.

Yes, while her band gamely played through the mistake, plucking and banging to the recorded track, Simpson performed a very odd "Hee Haw"-esque dance for a few seconds that seemed like eternity before giving up on that strategy and skulking offstage. The show cut to commercial.

Oh, and here's one of those little ironies that make covering TV such an interesting and rewarding career choice: The director of that "SNL" telecast from hell, Beth McCarthy Miller, was director of the infamous Super Bowl halftime show in which Janet Jackson's costume "reveal" turned into a "wardrobe malfunction," thereby revealing her breast and leading to the moral decay of the children of America. Live television is a very rough racket.

"I feel so bad," Simpson whined at the end of Saturday's broadcast. "My band started playing the wrong song. I didn't know what to do, so I thought I'd do a hoedown."

Actually, she wasn't kidding. She was outed as a lip-syncer because her drummer hit the wrong button, according to various folk connected with the performance with whom we spoke yesterday, none of whom wanted his name anywhere near this column. Apparently the drummer's responsibilities included starting the backup track and there were two buttons he could push, one for the "Autobiography" track and, obviously, one for "Pieces of Me."

And yet, with straight faces -- at least they sounded straight over the phone -- many of these anonymous informants insisted that Ashlee had not lip-synced -- lip-sunc? -- the first song, only the second, and that because her voice was acting up. Like we were born yesterday or something. Hmm . . . wonder why there was a vocal track for "Pieces of Me." Just a coincidence, I guess.

Anyway, the official word from NBC yesterday was that "SNL" executive producer Lorne Michaels's position is that its musical guests perform live. To drive home that point, for the West Coast feed the network edited out Simpson's voice from the backup track that had taken her by surprise. Viewers in Los Angeles saw Simpson gyrate, appear to become confused because the band was playing the wrong song, and then walk off. Presto chango, no lip-syncing.

Walking into the Kennedy Center last night to pick up the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, handed out to one person each year for comedic excellence, Michaels was confronted on the red carpet by a bunch of reporters, including The Post's Joel Achenbach, who wanted to talk to him about Saturday's show.

Michaels confirmed that a band member hit the button for the wrong backup tra
