I spent the evening reading a book about Krakatoa, only watching the last
15 seconds of the game, but I've heard several references to Janet's boobs.
How much could one actually see? All of it? Part of it? If only part of it,
which part? Just curious, as I doubt if I'll see it on the local news.

The full monty can be found at http://www.drudgereport.com (with
close-ups). By the way, if you look closely (purely for sake of the
investigation), you will see that her bustier cups are attached with
snaps. The material did not accidentally rip. It was designed to tear
away.

I agree with Mr. Fleishmann. Hohum. According to my kid (who just walked
in to eat lunch) it wasn't a big deal. In fact he's more ****ed at the
people who are raising the stink about it.

Thats my boy.

As a someone who didnt grow up here I always find the reactions to what people
see on tv strange.
We can show people who have been shot, blown up etc during prime time and no one
reacts. But
a boob and the whole country is in turmoil.

Svend, that is a bit of overstatement. I'm not up in turmoil! I don't
know of anybody who is. A few politicians and newspeople may be, but they
don't count!

Svend,
That is just the media hype trying to get every bit of publicity
for the poorest half time show ever.
I have seen better tits on the gals at the old Beretania Follies
in Honolulu and that place was a real dump! The dress that Janet
wore looked like someone had been playing "Pin the Tail on the
Donkey" and hit her square in the ass. That whole Jackson family
is strange.

Well, I'm a prude and don't need to see this stuff at all. I make
no apologies for that at all. It's the reason why I don't subsidize
the crap by having cable or satellite...though I recognize I probably
am subsidizing it through various other funding channels...

But *THAT* is why I wasn't watching the entire halftime show...engrossed
as I was in tying my remaining flies for the swap.

I heard about the antics from my wife and daughters who have a perverse
sense of curiosity about modern trash-pop "culture".

The ONLY POTENTIALLY valid point was that there was no "warning".
But that is clearly ridiculous given the nature of television...as
you point out.

Oh well, I'll let America's culture-police fight it out...

You subsidize it every time you buy an advertised product.

If you're "average," you spend hundreds of dollars a year to pay for
ads.
