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?

So beer ads can show several pairs of almost bare breasts for thirty seconds or so, but one bare breast is unacceptable....I'm glad to see there are still some boundaries in this country.

Game was great-half-time shows stunk. Too bad two has beens had to get air time. Gosh Groban and Beyonce-class act. Janet and whats his name should take a lesson..Too late.

Yes! What the hell is wrong with people these days? I mean, come on, lets just let our daughters walk around with their breasts showing! GROW UP JANET, you are old enough and rich enough, do you really have to have 20 something year old Justin Timberlake showing us your breast? Do we really want to see your boob? No!

I was really enjoying the fact that the Superbowl ads seem to have toned down references to sexuality and violence until the half-time show aired. What a disappointment. It's bad enough that the NFL plays its games on Sunday. Is the NFL or CBS setting a precedent to sanction shows that are inappropriate for the younger audience who also want to enjoy the game?

Sorry...I missed it. At the time my wife was yelling in my ear "....AND WOULD IT KILL YOU TO SAY YOU LOVE ME ONCE IN A WHILE....."

It's quite apparent that this was an attempt for publicity.

I objected to the whole Jackson/Justin scene. It was done in a manner not fitting the audience , especially the younger children who might be watching.

However, the game was very exciting and I am very happy the Patriots won!

I washed the dishes during the half time show...and then I went back and watched the second half. I had more fun washing the dishes.

I thought it was a disgrace. This is a family event and to expose kids to not only to the nudity, sexual simulations but also the dancers that looked like the cast members of an S&M show, was shameful. Thankfully I had the common sense to change the channel when Janet Jackson's dancers came out. It was a shame plain and simple. It marred one of the greatest games ever.

That was Janet? I thought Michael decided to get breast implants! :)
