Please, not every single piercing MUST be seen by everybody. When she was asked years ago about her piercings, she clearly stated that there were a few in places that were private. You don't see women who have their clits pierced going around showing it off. Think about it: does EVERY woman you know with a pierced nipple go around showing it 24/7? I'm guessing the answer is no, because from what I understand, it's illegal to go around topless (at least for women).

This was intentional. Anything to stir up attention, get publicity. CBS was in on it. They aren't stupid. They used to have the rep of being the old, stodgy network, and it has negatively impacted their viability in this modern, "X" age. They are actively working to change it, and you saw some of that yesterday.
Well, this would be silly of CBS to do, considering they've been a hit with the conservative, religious crowd with their wholesome show lineup ranging from "Touched By An Angel" to now "Joan of Arcadia". Why on earth would they sabotage that?

Good points, all...but I still stand by my "it was intentional" theory.

From what I've read tonight, apparently, she did stray away from the "game plan," but revealing her bare breast was unintentional.

I can only hope for something similar from Mariah Carey now.

I think the exposure of the breast was the mistake, not the tearing away of the bra cup. You can see the there is a red piece of fabric under the black part of the outfit, and I *believe* that's what was supposed to stay on.

Looking closely at the costume, I see the following:

1. There is a row of snaps on the bustier which remains on her body, arranged around the edge of her breast.
2) The female parts of the snaps are on the cup, which is held in Mr. Timberlake's hand, with the concave (or inside) portion showing outward toward the camera.

The red strip is merely trim on the top of the removed cup. Looking again at the closeup, there is no additional red material showing anywhere, indicating that there was nothing else there to remain...no signs of tearing, nothing. The cup Justin holds was meant to come off (why else use snaps?) and there is and never was anything under it to have remained following the removal. Conclusion? Intentional exposure of highly decorated breast.

I disagree, Ep. It looks like he's holding the cup convexly (notice that his index finger looks raised...if the concave side were towards us, his index finger should be more recessed), the red material looks like it's protruding from behind the cup and the snaps on the removed cup look like the ones on the attached one (that is, it appears that we are looking at the snaps from the very outside, not the female side).

I guess it all depends upon what your definition of "is" is.

Okay...but that still doesn't explain why there is only a strip of red trim material on the cup, and nowhere else in the vicinity of the exposed breast, if there was indeed to have been some portion which remained beneath the leather cup itself. It just isn't logical to suppose that the cup was trimmed in red by itself if indeed there was to have been another layer of the same material/garment beneath the cup.

It was intentional.

Jackson admitted as much in a statement last night, saying, "The decision to have a costume reveal at the end of my halftime performance was made after final rehearsals."
Here's the rest.

Sorry Janet and Justin, you still suck. :rolleyes:

Skunks 02-03-2004 01:13 PM

Sheesh. That article needs more breast puns.

I gotta say, though. Couldn't they have found somebody less ugly, or a breast with a less painful-looking addition? If the point was to anything other than make stuffy executives develop ulcers, it's probably failed.

Elspode 02-03-2004 04:22 PM

"Costume reveal"?! What kind of incredible double-talk, not-quite-an-admission admission is *that*?! The phrase is intentionally contrived to make it sound as if they *might* have meant that they intended to reveal another layer of costume instead of a titty.

Jeesh.

elSicomoro 02-03-2004 06:31 PM

Like what's she saying is not within the realm of possibilities.

Elspode 02-03-2004 09:10 PM

I suppose that *anything* is in the realm of possibilities...it just doesn't seem likely, nor logical. In the end, no one is ever going to know for sure except for Janet and maybe Justin. Oh sure, *someone* will have a big tell-all about it somewhere along the line, but it won't be anyone who can be believed since they'll be doing it for their own 15 minutes of fame and/or fortune.

Apparently, it was all part of a conspiracy to involve the whole viewing audience in a Satanic ritual.

I never would have guessed.

Also, someone has to explain to these bozos that Satanist <> Pagan.

Asshats™.

Looks like the camera cut away too quickly....

Ugh, that's just dumb.

The current issue of Ebony
has Janet speaking on it, and what should be the absolute LAST word about this mess.
