I'm curious - not to be gross - but does anyone have screen caps of just before and just after? I would love to see their reactions again. How are they gonna explain that away???

Spy, I can post a cap here, but I think it'd get modded. Suffice it to say, Janet looks like it is totally expected.

They accomplished their goals: we are talking about it and then talking about them talking about it.

and the winning commercial in USA Todays Ad Meter survey is:
Bud Light's "Dog owners" spot (the one where the yuppie's "purebred" dog gets his owner a Bud Light out of a cooler, while a "mongrel" dog gets his owner a Bud Light by biting the yuppie in a sensitive location)...

(grrrr - post got erased when i hit preview... lets try once more)

i enjoyed reading this storyline (ie ALL the posts on this thread in one sitting) just proves my point that football/sports can be enjoyed if you actually WATCH them... :-)

as for the main theme of this thread, i liked almost all the commercials (how rare is that) but especially the donkey, the monkey, most of the bud ads, the Ali one for IBM, the Tomorrow one with Jerry Jones and Bill Parcells from the Cowboys (nothing funnier than seeing your arch enemy break into song), the pepsi ad for downloading music (what a rish that was) and the designated driver one.... i havent liked half time shows in a long time but still watch... Josh Groban was the best with his tribute to Columbia before the game, and Beyonnce (sp?) was REALLY good at the national anthem, (though no one can top whitney rendition)

networks always milk time to advertise their shows during sports, especially the superbowl (last year was ABC with the hype to watch Alias after the game) and there have been lots of movie ads the last 2-3 years...


and i am being a big girl and not pouting over Carolina's loss- so no need for tissues to wipe the tears- but geez, what a torturous ending, we almost had it... darn that miracle last second kicker that always comes through :-)

XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX SUN FEB 01, 2004 21:27:35 ET XXXXX


OUTRAGE AT CBS AFTER JANET BARES BREAST DURING DINNER HOUR; SUPER BOWL SHOW PUSHES LIMITS

**Exclusive**

Top CBS executives approved a musical skit where Janet Jackson would expose her breast during the MTV-produced Super Bowl half-time concert, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

"The decision to go forward went to the very top of the network," a well-placed source explained from New York.

The groundbreaking scene came during the most-watched television broadcast of the year -- and during the dinner hour for the nation's west coast viewers.

Officially, CBS drew distance from the show: "CBS deeply regrets the incident that occurred during the Super Bowl halftime show," the network said in a release. "We attended all rehearsals throughout the week and there was no indication that any such thing would happen. The moment did not conform to CBS broadcast standards and we would like to apologize to anyone who was offended."

In a press release before Sunday's game, CBS's sister outlet [VIACOM's] MTV promised "Janet's Shocking Moments."

"I'll get you naked by the end of this song," sang performer Justin Timberlake, moments before he ripped off Jackson's top, exposing a bare breast -- the nipple covered by a tassel.

CBS's main New York switchboard was immediately bombarded with complaints about the stunt, network sources said late Sunday.

The NFL claimed outrage over the stunt:

Statement by NFL Executive Vice President Joe Browne regarding the Super Bowl halftime show: "We were extremely disappointed by elements of the MTV-produced Halftime show. They were totally inconsistent with assurances our office was given about the show. It's unlikely that MTV will produce another Super Bowl halftime."

Spy - I saw it with my own 4 eyes and it was definitely intentional. Those "Liars, Liars pants on fire!

Oh yeah, I liked all the beer commercials.

It looks like a tassel/ring duo thing. Very intriguing :-)

Liar liar pants on fire for sure! But it is sure to get everyone talking - and you know what they say...good or bad publicity is still publicity. <shrug>

The controversy was setup - and it'll be talked about FOR AGES

That closeup pic doesn't look like a tassle, it looks like a nipple ring, you can actually see her nipple, a tassle would cover the nipple

I just noticed in the close up that the outfit definitely has snaps for easy removal....it was intentional...no doubt about it.

I am also surprised they aren't talking about her dancers..when they first came on in those sheer tops and you could see nipples, I was shocked, then realized they were guys!

My goodness gracious..we were watching and thinking well that's not really her boob is it? I thought it just looked exposed but my my my, not by that picture! Maybe she's trying to take the heat off of another Jackson?

As for the commercials, I was very disappointed this year. A few were good but usually there are some that really stand out and I didn't feel that way about any of them.

That is a ring for sure - you can tell that the bar goes through the middle - that's how it stays on.

The commercials were not that great this year, I agree. That little donkey one was funny!!!!

Have to LOL at the wardrobe malfunction thing. Maybe the malfunction was that the nip ring was supposed to tear off with the rest of the costume?

So, how long will it take for a vid of this to hit the net? The screen caps are already there....

And will that video hit before copies of the commercials?

Loved the donkey clydesdale, and the horse candle! Didn't see a lot of the earlier ones, so I hope I'll find a site that has them up.

well, dd and i drove son back to school. we got to the elks lodge just after halftime ended. dh said, 'was there a justin on american idol?' and we said there was. he said, 'i think he ripped off someone's bra.'
well, now we see that it was justin TIMBERLAKE. LOL where my husband got timberlake and an american idol connection, i have no idea.
let's just say he was at the elk's lodge 2 hours ahead of dd and me and the average is is like 72.8 years of age there. :-)
i guess we're lucky they didn't ask if there was a 'just in time'.......ehehehehe......

I have to agree with legalboxer about Josh Groban but then again, I have never heard him perform badly!

And was I wrong in thinking that the big Pepsi commercial with Beyonce, Britney, Pink and Enrique was supposed to be on during the game? Did I miss it?

of course, it was meant to to be the actual removing of the half bra of janet jackson. if it was an accident ( as claimed only when people got incensed over it) why would she have a tassle or ring over it?
my guess is it was supposed to happen just as it did, and when people raised a ruckus, "it was an accident!" sheesh!
it's like: "let's test the limits here. if people get upset, we'll claim it was not intentional". who the hell makes bras in two halves? LOL

A few points I find interesting.

Janet didn't remove the fabric, it was Justin who reached over and removed it from her. Yet all the tongue cluckers in the media are blaming Janet for exposing her breast. Why is that?

I've seen more skin and leud acts in the computer games and music videos parents let their kids purchase.

Wonder if CBS is wishing they'd gone ahead and run the moveon.org 30 second commercials about Bush.

Hmmmm....."planned" or "unplanned?"

Here's an article from 3 days prior that is headlined "Janet Jackson's Super Bowl Show Promises 'Shocking Moments'."

"Shocking Moments"

Well, I guess they delivered what they promised.

Well, last night's half-time show taught me a profound sartorial lesson. I have attached solar nipple medallions to both breasts in preparation for trial this morning, just in case opposing counsel happens to rip off the right side of my Armani jacket during a sidebar (I've shielded both sides just in case he's ambidextrious). Because this kind of thing can happen without warning during what would otherwise seem just another day at the office.
