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?

I think it is unfortunate what happened with Janet Jackson at the half time show, however a think it is being blown out of proportion. It is not that big of a deal

The entire half time show was terrible. My grandson and I had to leave the room.

Let's see....her brother Michael cunningly outbids Paul McCartney on the Beatles' songbook, just happens to wed Elvis' daughter, and has his way with other people's children. This family will stop at nothing to prevent their "good" name from fading from the tabloids. Let's call it what it was: a calculated publicity stunt!

Disgusting!!

With everything going on with her brother!

What what she thinking of.

Thought she had a little class!!!

You bet it went too far! I am a football fan and watch the Super Bowl to see a good football game. I watch it with my family which includes young children. If I wanted to see bare breasts I could purchase the Playboy channel. I hold the NFL and CBS responsible and would hope they clean up their act.

Absolutely the worst halftime show in Super Bowl history! (And I'm old enough to have seen them all.) Paul Tagliabue and the NFL should apologize to the Kraft family for letting their accomplishments on the playing field be overshawdowed by that halftime garbage!

Ted, Marblehead

Just another Jackson Camp rouse to get in the news prior to a new CD release. Or maybe it was devised to draw some of the negative publicity away from Michael. One can only imagine the horrors under which this family grew up when none of them seem to possess the slightest ability to discern right from wrong when it comes to sexual conduct.

Jon, Dedham

Yes, it was too far. In fact the whole half time show was too far. Too much, too showy, to one sided music. Pre-game show was much better.

Norm, Middleboro

I thought the half time show stunk!

Arthur, Stoughton, MA

I though Janet Jackson had more class than that. I didnt think it was planned...but then I didnt see the silver star pasty on her breast either.

Bad Girl!
