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.

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.

interesting... IF it is true

This is interesting. I'm sure there are still going to be complaints by groups even though top officials ok'd it.

 

[BDawg]

So no Regan movie, no moveon.org commercial, but Janet boobie's okay?

Whats the big deal? Aren't pasties legal on TV? They can have nudity in Europe, so this seems fairly tame.

 

[Acanthus]

Thats gonna make me watch the superbowl next year

Shes not even hot, and when i think of football, of course my first thoughts are justin timberlake and janet jacksons chest.

How about the fact that it happened during what should be a family event at about 8:45pm while plenty of little children were watching (including my daughter)

 

Who cares.

 

[MikeMike]

problem being, NOTHING but skin was shown, there was NO nipple there, it was covered.

MIKE

 

[Atlantean]

I read that at drudge report too, but I am not sure I believe it.

Billions of other children see boobies and nothing bad happens to them.
Your daughter explode or something?
I grew up in Europe and saw nudity plenty.
If you are really worried about it, you can move to Saudi Arabia. I believe it is outlawed there.

I'm pretty sure one of the first things I saw after birth was a boobie, and the nipple wasn't even covered.

People get too worked up about these things that aren't important.

I would just as soon not have my daughter see a guy rip a woman's clothing off on national television. Not quite something one would expect at a football game halftime show, eh? My youngest happens to like Justin Timberlake but she was rather upset at tonight's antics. Although, once I heard the lyrics to the song, I was starting to scoot her out of the room anyway. Just wasn't in time.

That's why I don't let them watch stuff like MTV or some movies. I happen to be a caring parent that monitors my children's TV viewing. I've been to Europe many times and I know full well what TV is like there.

I have a capture if anybody's interested.

Not much to see really.

There is a big difference. We have a ratings system here in the US. This was put on during primetime and was given a PG rating. So parents should be able to feel confident in the types their kids will see based on ratings.

This went over that line.....

You have to ask?!?!?

 

[Bassyhead]

went over the line i believe

 

[GTaudiophile]

So I guess the message to kids is: It's okay to rip women's clothes off.

CBS can go fvck themselves.

Might be because they are related, but I do not ever state facts, only guesses
