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?

This stunt was no accident.

It is really too bad that women like Madonna and Janet Jackson have to shock their audience in order to keep younger viewers interested. If they had faith in their talent they wouldn't have to stoop to such depths.

Looks like Justin and Britney are even.

I expect those kinds ofthings from Janet. But I was not expecting it during the superbowl. Bad Show!

I thought the Jackson incident was out of place. It belongs on one of those late night cable stations. The Super Bowl is a family event and to be exposed to tasteless "entertainment" is sinking too low. I think both Jackson and Timberlake should be fined and made to apologize for presenting this trash instead of real entertainment.

i was not impressed with any of the half time performances, but would nominate Beyounce for a grammy for her performance of the star spangled banner, she was just awesome. The tribute to NASA was moving with Josh Grobin's performance. Very impressive.

I saw something covering the nipple so it was no big deal. However, my 9 year old son was watching and I thought the guys dressed in Lingerie was more a big deal. CBS should apologize for that.

How stupid can it get. This is a football game not a porn show! It is a true circus down there and I can only say it has gotto add to the stress for players.

Matthew, Boston, MA

Of course not! Every single one of has a body. Why is it a shock to see somebody else's?

PUBLICITY STUNT!!!!!!! She's old and washed out and needs to recreate her career and she used this as her avenue.

Low very low!

Trying to get the same attention as Madonna and Britney.

Totally stupid thing for Janet and Justin to do.

She should be fined for indecent exposure.

Justin should be fined as well for assaulting a woman like that. Apologies are not enough. You can't say it was some sort of clothing/costume malfunction. Get real! Let them tell us what was supposed to happen if things hadn't "malfunctioned:" Its not like she was wearing a superbowl shirt underneath or something. Just a stupid publicity stunt and they should both be fined and not be allowed to just laugh and walk away.

I thought this was a football game - not a rock concert. All I can say is - what do you expect when it's produced by MTV and you look at the list of performers. Big surprise. Quite frankly - I thought it was the worst superbowl half time show I ever saw.
