In this situation it's bad because it was sexually explicit, if you listen to the lyrics to the song (without barfing), you'll hear he's gonna get her by the end of this song.

Nudity/Art is one thing, teaching a kid that it's okay to sexually assault someone isn't.

 

Soul_fly,

No I don't think that it's right for a 5year old to watch sexually suggestive dancing on screen...especially if the 5 year old was mine. I didn't think the majority of the half-time show was appropriate.

As far as answering the first question, sure you would have done that. But then what would have done with the onslaught of the 30 or so following question? Kids are very curious, you know. Why does she have that and I don't? What does she use it for? Why do guys look at it? Daddy, do you look at it (while your wife and her family are sitting there)?

I'm not saying that nudity is bad, nor am I wanting to teach kids that it's bad. However, in the situation during the Superbowl game, most parents would rather teach this when it's more of an appropriate time and age...the event at the game didn't give parents a chance to choose.

 

It is funny that they keep trying to say that it was an accident.. We all know better than that..

Ok, this whole Janet Jackson breast shot is way over exposed!!

Anyway, people cannot give me the little kid argument. This isn't SEX. It was a breast shot from a camera shot reasonably far away from the breast. I couldn't tell if it was a bare shot due to the huge jewelry on her nipple. Now I wasn't watching in HD, so that was probably a much better shot. But it was on for 2 seconds at most.

I was watching it with my gf's 7 year old daughter. She knows what breasts are but it didn't even faze her. Kids that young have no idea of what is really going on unless an adult in the room made stupidly obvious comments about it.

I cannot believe how ridiculous this whole event has gotten. People need to start doing more with their lives if this is such a big deal.

And I love how the NFL condemned the whole show like they didn't know what they were getting from MTV. Now that is FUNNY!

Everyone overplayed the whole Janet thing, you see more nudity in teenie bopper music videos, the nipple wasn't exposed, what's the big deal?? The Grammy's and Academy awards had more revealing dresses... I dunno, I don't see the huge deal in this, people need to just relax, CBS isn't mad, they got good ratings.

 

this is not about whether showing nipples on tv is good or bad. it's about abiding to the ratings. parents have the right to allow or disallow their children to view certain kinds of contents. ratings gives us an idea of what we are to expect from a show, and when the show violates what its rating informs us of, we as the viewing public have the right to be angry. put it in an analogous way. if honda publishes that the s2000 produces 240hp and can do 0-60 in 5.6 secs, you, as an owner of an s2000, would be upset if you find out that the s2000 in actualilty only produces 205hp and does the 0-60 in 6.8 secs, right??


it's really hard to blame mtv or cbs if they truly were unaware of janet's plans, but janet (and justin) needs to take on some serious finiancial and/or legal reprucussion for their actions.
