Jackson bares breast during half time show

Pop superstar Janet Jackson lost her chest plate during her Super Bowl XXXVIII half time performance, giving football fans an unexpected peep show. It appeared as though singer Justin Timberlake ripped it off as part of the show, revealing Jackson's right breast with a silver star on it. Did someone go too far?

The worst half time show ever and this comment has nothing to do with Janet's exposed breast. The disappointment is in the exposure of the no talent "superstars" who appeared. It sucked all around, from the crotch grabbing Nelly, uncomfortable Diddy, no voice no talent Jackson, bad boy wannabe Justin. Wow, it sucked.

If though I didn't see it live (we have a superbowl party today in Athens), everyone needs to chill out. Living with sexuality is part of an open society... Maybe CBS should ask the Talibans to help censure next years superbowl halftime show......

half-time was a joke! no talent performers, lots of screaming and no vocals (except for Beyonce'). and the stunt pulled by Justin Timberlake on Janet Jackson was pitiful !! bring back the analysts at half-time which is much-more entertaining and informative ...

The FCC should fine her and CBS big bucks.... millions.

Those in the room who caught the incident gasped when it happened although I had turned away and missed Janet Jackson's 'exposure.' Stupid, for sure.

I object moreover to singers constantly grabbing their crotches during a performance. If the kids enjoy it, so be it. They can pay to see it at the concerts of stars whose music they enjoy .

For me and other (square) middle agers and older folks, this show was not enjoyable or entertaining. The music was boring and inaudible, and the actions were gross. I felt as if I was watching preschoolers trying to make it to the potty and screaming when they couldn't get there in time.

Next year, could someone think a little more clearly when it comes to 'entertainment' for the overall general public?

You can't tell me that Jackson had NO idea what was going to happen. It put the name back in the media. Just the ACTION of ripping off the shirt was a BAD idea. Clean up the half time NFL.

Half time show was one of the worse I have seen, Hopefully next year, we will be able to understand the words to the music. Now the whole world understands why the youth of today are missed up, just look at who the look up to??? Sad isn't it. Janet should be trying to set a good example, but just look at the jackson family so why should be expect any different from her..... thankfully the football game was great, because half time was not.....

I think that that the super bowl halftime show is crap, but big up to janet.

Had the audience not been a family one, it would have been OK. However, millions of children were watching and didn't need to see it or Nellie's jock itch (hopefully he borrowed some Cruex from one of the teams at halftime). Overall, I thought that this was probably the worst halftime show EVER at the SuperBowl. Next year hopefully they will get some talent, not some screaming, crotch grabbing, stiffs. Hey CBS, not all of us are age 18-25 and watch MTV.

Could this have come out anymore perfect! This was i would say way overrehersed n not the opposite way around.

It was all planned! I mean Justin's: "Ima have u naked by the end of this song" Yeah right. Tell me other wise. LOL
