Janet+Justin!

[Deepak]

So what do you guys think about that act? Was it correct? What was the motive behind if any??

BTW where to find that "uncencored" clip??

 

[Heathen]

Still wondering what all the fuss is about. :?

 

[K.I.L.E.R]

<- doesn't care.

I couldn't care less about other peoples stupidity/attention seeking. I have my own stupidity and attention seeking to worry about.

I don't see what the fuss is all about, it was a TIT. How many TITS do we see on TV everyday of our life? These public performances are just so cheesy it's unbelievable, the lesbian Britney-Madge-Christina kiss, now this one, i mean don't they have anything better to do?

And by the way, wouldn't a womand who's almost 50 just get over herself?

It's like these people NEED to atract people's attention and do anything to achieve their goal. Janet hasn't been on the spotlight for ages, and what better than Justing stripping her off on stage.... :|

Uncensored? You mean the clip is censored? Good grief.

I recorded the second half of the SB on my Sky+ box (well, it was getting late) so in a vaguelly curious mood went back to check out exactly what happened. Lame, is the word that comes to mind, as the same goes for some of the reaction to it (which organisation was it that called it pornographic?).

In all likelihood I think things may well have gone a bit wrong. Obviously the dress was meant to be torn, but whether something else was meant to remain on is open to question. Not a nice sight at all though.

I seriously do not think Janet Jackson wanted the whole world to see her breast. The corset was supposed to be ripped off and the bra should have resisted Justin's superhuman strength, obviously he was a little too much for the poor piece of clothing to take, and got vaporised by Justin's power. There u go.

 

[StefanS]

I don't know what the fuss is all about. I mean 50 % of world's population have them or will have them. And the other half sees them almost daily, so where's the problem apart from the fact that I have seen better :?

 

[L233]

I think it was extremely offensive - not because of the bare boob but because it was Janet Jackson and she's yucky.

this post from /. summarizes why i have a problem with this
source:http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=95361&cid=8173228

The issue here is not whether it's appropriate for a kid to see Janet Jackson's fun bags on TV. The issue is about parental control.

Whenever some 12 year old gamer goes out and shoots 10 of his classmates after playing 5 straight hours of Unreal, Slashdot rises up in unison and says "Blame the Parents". And they're right, of course, because a 12 year old is and should be under the strict care and control of somebody who knows how to be a decent human being: a.k.a. his parents.

There were millions of responsible parents who have a system for maintaining order and control over thier children. By and large, those systems work because the parents are able to maintain at least partial control over thier children's lives...at least until they start to see the kids taking responsibility for themselves. And many millions of those responsible parents and their well-behaved children tuned into the superbowl on sunday expecting to see a football game, and what they got was a flailing titty.

Now, are all of those kids going to turn into ravenous porn fanatics? Of course not. But who are you do decide what is appropriate for these children to watch? Are you going to get blamed if they wind up on the evening news, walking down the street lobbing hand grenades at passing cars? No, the parents are. And so they get to decide how to raise thier kids.

This was the television equivalent of replacing a link to an article with a goatse link. People expect something decent and normal, and they get porn. It's like ordering a steak and getting a plate of shit. Is it going to turn me into a closet shit-eater? No...but I still have the right to be angry because what I wanted was a steak.

See thats the thing. People really are teking this whole thing pretty seriously.... Jesus.... It was an accident, get over it! Bloody hell...

 

[L233]

Ah, I should have know, it's about the children!!!

OH MY GOD, little Timmy has seen a boob!
Never mind him suckling on a pair of them for two months...

What's so dangerous about those damn things that kids shouldn't see them?

 

[epicstruggle]

See thats the thing. People really are teking this whole thing pretty seriously.... Jesus.... It was an accident, get over it! Bloody hell...

Both janet and justin have publicly stated that it was no accident. Please get your facts straight. Your sounding like the bbc.

The thing that I personally find pretty hilarious is that the parents are like 'OMG! It's a family show, how dare you show a tit to my little kiddies! Kill!'. Then they go back and let them watch a bunch of guys beat the crap out of eachother with breaks for beer commercials now and then.

I dont have kids, but when I do I want to be able to watch tv with my kids and not have them see breasts, et al. CBS, and the other networks have been given the privilige of using public airwaves, with the assumption that they not show indecent material among other rules/regulations. This clearly violated that, since most people in the US felt that it was wrong for janet/justin to do what they did.

Their isnt anything inheriently(sp?) wrong with children seeing naked people, but _IF_ I as a parent decide that its not something I want my young children to see, then it becomes a problem.

So you would suggest not letting parents raise their kids as they want. Im no pollster but I believe people expected "a bunch of guys beat the crap out of eachother" during the football game, and not "a tit" during the "breaks for beer commercials now and then". Why dont you come up with a guide for parents on when they should or should not feel outraged.

Not just beer commercials, from what I have heard there were at least two commercials for viagra type drugs.

HUH? Well, i might sound like the BBC but i have heard NOWHERE that they publicly stated it was no accident. Actually the opposite. But that's not really the point here is it...

I never said I didn't think parent's should be allowed to raise their kids however they see best fit. What I did say was that I find it hilarious that they find a tit without a viewable nipple unacceptable for their children, but that it's no problems introducing them to alcohol or general violence. I mean personally I'd say that violence and alcohol would put you at a bigger risk as a human than having sex, but maybe that's just me

However, since I don't have kids myself I guess I don't know what I'm talking about (at least that's what american parents always tell me hehe). But just as I wouldn't ban my kids from playing violent videogames I wouldn't really care if they happened to see a tit on tv. I mean hopefully they will at least once in their lives see a live tit so I don't really see where the harm is.

I don't see how the view of a bare breast has any impact on parents raising their kids the way they want.

They could get traumatised you know... I mean in the end we all spent the first months of our lifes SUCKING on breasts, but that doesn't matter... On the other hand, seeing and practicing violent behaviour, now THAT's a good way to raise them...
