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?

Just(in) another example of self-indulgent stars of today so desperate for exposure (ugh) that they will do anything to make sure they're caught in the gossip (Ja)net.

Pathetic.

Would she be wearing it for fun? People are pretty dumb for believing that it wasnt suppose to happen, really dumb.

The NFL should let U2 do every Super Bowl half time. The 2002 was AWESOME.

The halftime entertainment was lame as usual. The breast exposure appeared to me to be planned.

My children were not harmed in any way by seeing a bare breast, let's get over it.

Who cares....it happened so quick hardly anyone noticed. All you complainers should just chill out....if the media hadn't said anything no one would care and for those who are making a big deal of it.

First of all, big deal! Cencorship in the US is much too strict for our era. Secondly, a poor publicity stunt on Jackson's part. At this point, she looks, sounds, and moves more like Michael. Not sexy.

that was in my opinion the absolute worst half time show yet. kid rock should have been arrested for desecration of the flag,janet is old news and justin timberlake lacks talent period! the best performance ever was U2 2 years ago when the Pats were the champs the first time.

I think that the reaction to what was probably a staged event is ridiculous, a woman’s breast is viewed on national TV and everyone jumps up in outrage. And why be angry at a small peek of bare flesh on TV? Americans are such a bunch of hypocrites, where’s the outrage at all the violence shown on TV?

Janet's breast may have upset alot of people, but I was already upset when Kid Rock came out on stage wearing the American flag. That shows disrespect for our flag and county. As the mother of a 19 year old son who arrived in Baghdad on Friday, I was very upset. I felt like he had just slapped our men and women in the Armed Forces right in the face. That was the most disgusting part of the half time show.
