And more importantly, who the fuck cares ?

ratbastid · 02-02-2004, 07:15 AM

My buddy at work wondered if it was staged by AOL. He pointed out that the very next thing on the screen after an exposed tit was the AOL logo for that "top speed" thing they were hawking all night.

Think about it. Through millions of heads the thoughts went, "Oh good, this is almost over. Yeah, yeah, they're singing. What's he doing? Holy shit, is that her BOOB!? Did I just see that!? AOL Top Speed!?"

Maybe that's just what it takes to buy that kind of mind-share.

Same thing as the Paris Hilton video, etc. Just a cheap publicity stunt. No big deal. Been there done that.

Yup. You can stab her and it's "okay", but show her off, oh NO!

Very sick society, on that point.

Well, the whole flap of the CBS SuperBowl Halftime Special by MTV's TRL: Total Request Live with Justin Timberlake ripping off the Janet Jackson bustier cup.

Just absurd.

Of course initially, Janet Jackson said something about there being a surprise...and then of course the design of the outfit, right down to the fact she wore a tassel pasty. I'm sure it wasn't staged. Yeah, okay. Janet is a crack whore, she does stipping and whoring on the side, so she wears tassled pasties under all her clothing in case well, you know music comes on and she starts to do a strip tease.

here's what the press is saying:

Janet, Justin, MTV Apologize For Super Bowl Flash

Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake perform at the Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show

HOUSTON — The organizers of the Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show had hoped that a surprise guest would get people talking long after the game, but they wound up with one more surprise than they had bargained for.

Janet Jackson's right breast was exposed at the end of her performance after Justin Timberlake — who was expected to be the night's biggest surprise — pulled off a piece of Janet's costume. As a result the move, some 72,000 fans in Reliant Stadium and an estimated 100 million watching around the world saw more of Janet than expected.

"I am sorry if anyone was offended by the wardrobe malfunction during the halftime performance at the Super Bowl," Timberlake said of the incident. "It was not intentional and is regrettable."

MTV, which produced the halftime show for sister network CBS, issued a statement shortly after the game saying, "The tearing of Janet Jackson's costume was unrehearsed, unplanned, completely unintentional and was inconsistent with assurances we had about the content of the performance. MTV regrets this incident occurred and we apologize to anyone who was offended by it."

Jackson did not release an official statement after the game, but her representatives told MTV News that she apologizes for the incident.

CBS, which broadcast the Super Bowl and its halftime show live Sunday evening, also apologized, saying, "CBS deeply regrets the incident that occurred during the Super Bowl halftime show. 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."

MTV Statement on Super Bowl XXXVIII Halftime Incident
Sunday February 1, 11:03 pm ET

HOUSTON, Feb. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- The tearing of Janet Jackson's costume was unrehearsed, unplanned, completely unintentional and was inconsistent with assurances we had about the content of the performance.
MTV regrets this incident occurred and we apologize to anyone who was offended by it.

at some point I'll have spoken to some friends on the crew and I'll get some behind the scenes info, but any man with two stones between his legs knows that there is no woman that walks around with pasties on under her garments, well at least TASSLED pasties. Maybe some of the girls wear those things to keep from having the nipple thru the shirt look.

I couldn't find what i was looking for but did find these link: pastease.com

spiderman · 02-02-2004, 08:15 AM

it's obviously not a pasty and there's no tassel.

it's a nipple shield with a sun-shaped ring around the nipple and a bar through the nipple.

see?

Man stripped to G-string and danced

Associated Press
HOUSTON -- The second-half kickoff of the Super Bowl was delayed after a man dressed as a referee ran onto the field, stripped down to a G-string and shoes, then started dancing at the 30-yard line.

New England linebacker Matt Chatham leveled the man, identified as Mark Francis Roberts, as he ran from security personnel. The man, who had the name of a gambling Web site scribbled across his chest, was hogtied and carried off the field by police.

CBS didn't air Roberts to the worldwide television audience, focusing its cameras elsewhere as he was being chased.

Houston Police spokeswoman Sandra Aponte said police arrested Roberts soon after Chatham got him.

She said Roberts got into the game with a legitimate ticket, and his referee outfit was held together with Velcro, making it easy for him to rip it off in one movement. He was charged with criminal trespass and public intoxication, and was to be booked into either the city or county jail, she said.

"He is telling police he's from Liverpool, England. He also claims he is an international streaker and that he has done this at other sporting facilities," Aponte said.

Grin and bare it
By Wayne Drehs
Page 2 columnist

Editor's Note: Mark Roberts made headlines again this weekend when he achieved his lifetime goal: He streaked the Super Bowl.

But before the England native stripped down to next-to-nothing at the start of the second half in Houston, Page 2 had already told his story.

Here's a look at our profile of Roberts from March 2003:

The letter arrives in Mark Roberts' mailbox each time any English soccer club plays abroad. Sent by the football banning order authority, its directives are clear: On a designated date, surrender your passport at a local police station. On game day, sign in at the station as proof that you're in the country and not at the game. When the team returns, you may pick up your passport and resume normal life.

Wouldn't you arrest this man?
You'd think he were a stalker. A terrorist. Someone who poses a serious threat to one of England's most cherished traditions. But he's a streaker. The world's best. Someone who has become such a nuisance to the English parliament that these childish groundings are the only way to keep him from taking his clothes off. And even that doesn't work.

Over the course of the past 10 years, Mark Roberts has dropped his drawers and revealed every inch of his curvaceous, unflattering self 273 times. His antics have brought an instant stop to soccer, tennis and rugby matches, golf tournaments, casinos and television shows. Even local weathermen, political figures and the Mr. Universe and Miss World pageant aren't immune.

"At first it was a bit embarrassing," Roberts said. "But now it's like taking a bath."

We live in a time when streaking has become mainstream enough that Nike built an advertising campaign around a streaker at a European soccer match, and then rival Reebok created an ad in which office linebacker Terry Tate flattens Nike's hero. However, Roberts is the original Sir Streak.

BEST STREAKS
Haven't seen enough? Then check out Mark Roberts' descriptions of his favorite streaks in his own words. For even more on Roberts, you can uncover his website at www.thestreaker.org.uk/main.htm.

And little does NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue know that if not for a snag in obtaining game tickets, Roberts was in San Diego with every intention of making Super Bowl XXXVII the U.S. debut for his "chicken mcnugget."

Roberts is 38, unemployed, has three kids and lists streaking as his full-time unpaid job. Unable to pay a recent backlog of fines, he spent a recent night in jail as a last warning to pay up or pay the price -- a lengthy lockup.

Still, in England, the Liverpool native is a full-blown celebrity, barely able to walk into a pub without being mobbed. More often than not, the police arresting him ask for an autograph before slapping on the handcuffs.

It isn't because of his looks. With his pedestrian face, chubby gut and lack of any upper body definition, Roberts is about the furthest thing from a Playgirl centerfold. But that's what makes it so entertaining.

Three cheers for the dude who covered him up.
"I don't have much going for me down there, so when I run out on the field, people think I'm a woman with small breasts," Roberts said. "But I'm not even conscious of it. We are what we are. I just want to make people laugh."

It started in 1993, thanks to one too many beers and a boastful promise in a Hong Kong bar. After watching a female streaker at a rugby match a day earlier, he drunkenly shrugged it off and told his friends that anybody could streak. "OK," they said, "you do it tomorrow."

Roberts did. Twice. And he has been hooked by the rush ever since. Last year, he pulled off the three biggest streaks of his career -- the men's final at Wimbledon, the Commonwealth Games (essentially the European Olympics) and the Champions League soccer final.

In the Champions League final, Roberts ripped off his ready-made Velcro suit, ran on the field, stole the ball, slashed between a pair of defenders and booted a goal past the keeper. He still brags about the feat, telling anyone who will listen the true score that day was not Real Madrid 2, Bayer Leverkusen 1.

It was Liverpool 1, Germany 0.

"They usually look confused," Roberts said, "and tell me that Liverpool didn't play that day. And I'm like, 'Oh sure they did. And they won.' "

No event or person is safe. Roberts, who's the first to admit he "isn't normal," has even streaked in front of his brothers, sisters and his 68-year-old mother, Pat.

"We're out for his birthday last year, he disappears and the next thing I know he's standing there stark," Pat Roberts said. "I'm with me friends and I'm like, 'Mark, put your clothes on.'

"He was a normal kid but all of the sudden got a little crazy. I think I must have dropped him on his head or something."

Judge Roberts' antics on entertainment value alone and they're pretty good. He once streaked the 18th green of the British Open with the words "19th hole" painted across his back and an arrow pointing down. He's convinced the letters "adidas" stand for All Day I Dream About Streaking. But for all the laughs, there are repercussions -- physical, financial and legal.

His body has weathered numerous cuts, scrapes and bruises, 50 stitches, a broken toe, two broken ribs, a broken ankle and a broken wrist.

Financially, there's the cost of transportation, hotel and, of course, game tickets. The bigger the game, the more expensive. He thought he had two field level tickets for this year's Super Bowl until arriving in San Diego and realizing the broker had raised prices from an agreed upon $500 apiece to $3,500.

"I came all the way over here and had nothing to show for it," he said. "I've never been more disappointed."

There isn't much room for disguise when you're The Streaker.
Then there are the fines and court costs, which range anywhere from 50 to 70 pounds ($80 to $120). "It's the only job where I have to pay to go to work," Roberts said. "But every time you plan on doing something like this, you're going to get caught."

He has worked various jobs over the years from bartender to waiter, but struggles to hold any of them down. One night, working as a bartender in Liverpool, he told his boss he was headed for a cigarette break ... then went straight to Liverpool Stadium to streak a football match. He streaked, got arrested, was charged and was back in a half hour.

"Then I walk into the place, and he tells me I'm sacked," Roberts said. "And I'm like, 'What the hell for?' He goes, 'I just saw you on TV. You're out of here.' "

Roberts supports himself on corporate donations and a Spanish television commercial similar to the Nike one, except for the fact that everyone in the stadium is naked and Roberts "streaks" fully clothed. And he's also hoping for royalties from "The Streak," a remake of the Ray Stevens classic novelty record that is due out this summer.

Over the last 10 years, Roberts and his lawyer estimate Roberts has paid roughly 3,000 pounds ($4,700) in fines. That doesn't include the 500 pounds ($780) he owes to the government right now.

Currently, there are four warrants out for Roberts' arrest because he hasn't kept up on his fines. He's banned from every soccer game in England and Wales. He has the passport regulations to comply with every time an English soccer team plays abroad. He's banned from an English casino group. And his passport forbids him from ever returning to Hong Kong.

Not a very aerodynamic look.
"Usually, with Mark, I can always reduce the court to fits of laughter," said Lawrence Leigh, Roberts' attorney. "They just love it. I remember one case I said to this female judge, 'Madam, you look puzzled.' She says, 'I actually am, Mr. Leigh.' And I said, 'Well, my client is a serious threat to society -- he's a serial streaker.' I still don't think she has stopped laughing."

But Leigh's tactics don't always work. Roberts is due in court in March 17 for his streak at last summer's Commonwealth Games. There, he streaked the 100-meter sprint final and set a new world record. "Slowest 100-meter dash ever," he jokes. A Manchester court has charged him with being a public nuisance, an age-old rule from the common law days. It's the first time any of Roberts' cases have gone to trial.

Roberts said the prosecution plans on arguing that his streak caused harassment and distress to the public. But he and Leigh have their defense ready. They plan on calling to the stand each and every one of the 40,000-plus that were in attendance that day -- "including Prince Edward and Sophie."

"They can't say whether or not this caused someone to be upset," Leigh said. "Heck, it's probably the first sexual excitement (Edward and Sophie) have had in years."

Roberts says that's just what this is all about -- fun. While the events of Sept. 11 might have scared some from such a security-breeching profession, Roberts says it's all the more reason to continue. Before he retires in 2005, two ultimate goals remain -- the Athens Olympics in 2004 and either Super Bowl XXXVIII or XXXIX.

"The Super Bowl is obviously a huge risk with security, but it's to make a point," Roberts said. "Life is getting too serious at this point. I want to remind people we can still laugh. And I don't care where you're from. When you see me with my clothes off, you're going to laugh."

Oh god...this guy is just cool. It saddens me that Janet's boob overshadowed him.

I would like to point out that the outfit she wore would actually make her boobies look like they were sagging... but if you look closely those things are as perky as they were when she was 18. Everyone's talking about our society and they should be focusing on what Great Nipples she has.

Only in America can this kind of thing lead to such a level of indignation...

pan6467 · 02-02-2004, 11:01 AM

Hmmmm...... we have a great mixture of posts. ....... People saying there's a pastie and that it's no big deal and then the ones that get me the most, the ones where people get outraged that such a stunt would happen.

Let's delve shall we........

First, anyone watching it live even on a big screen truly had no idea what they saw........ the event happened so fast that unless you knew it was coming you had an idea that something happened and saw a blurb but you did not see what these close up blown up pictures are showing.

Secondly, for those of you who may not know such ladies, a nipple ring such as Janet is seen wearing is for pleasure during usually private love sessions (it is supposed to enhance the woman's pleasure), the design is common as a tatoo.

Thirdly, for anyone that would be outraged at such a publicity stunt, my question is why? We live in a commercial society where by the pure fact that our nation is geared for thriving on scandal, it should surprise noone. Scandal sells, sex sells...... we have become a country that can't wait for the next scandal. Checkout the rags and see how thier sales increase everytime there's a great scandal. (this was not a a great scandal except for those making it out to be).

Finally, perhaps it's time we allow nudity on tv. We are a country still governed by Puritanistic religious self righteous zealots, who would destroy all our freedoms so that they can have more power. I find it amazing how certain of these men can sit there and claim to preach Christ's word yet be so condemning of others that they have lost sight of Christ's true words. If Christ were here right now which evil do you think he'd find more offensive, Gangsta Rap promoting violence, movies promoting violence where blood spews all over and the "good guy" kills everyone in sight (all rated PG13 and shown on tele all the time with NO remorse shown) OR would he find someone being naked or love making where 2 people are sharing thier most precious intimate feelings with one another (rated R or quite possibly XXx and not shown on tv except late at night on premium or pay-per-view stations)?

In the end WE, ALL, sell ourselves for a few ounces gold and the promise of a better life. We are all sluts, gigalos and ammoral if it comes to putting food on our table or maintaining a life for which we are accustomed to. And anyone who says they aren't, or condemns another for publicly giving what the people want, is a hypocrite.

Have peace, have faith, have love,

nice. I didn't see this picture, the clip that I had seen made it appear to be a tassel.

if it was this same item... let's see what Mr. Powell has to say besides:

Quote:

"I am outraged at what I saw during the halftime show of the Super Bowl," FCC Chairman Michael Powell said in a statement. "Like millions of Americans, my family and I gathered around the television for a celebration. Instead, that celebration was tainted by a classless, crass and deplorable stunt. Our nation's children, parents and citizens deserve better."

pan6467 · 02-02-2004, 11:52 AM

Since when is the Super Bowl Halftime a celebration? And what is it a celebration of? Capatalism, perhaps? After all it is not only the most watched show every year but the one demanding the highest price for commercials. Hell, a few years ago you heard more about the commercials than the game.

For God's sake, people accept the fact that the Super Bowl in and of itself is commercial capitalism at its grandest and that everything done for the show is done to make money. Thereby making such poublicity stunts invariably predictable that they will happen.

But I do suppose it keeps the people here at home from talking about Bush's new budget where he cuts the EPA deeply, or from an illegal war that is for oil (after all Bush has come out and said neither he nor his staff said anything about imminent danger or Saddam being linked to 9/11 and since no WMD's found ......)

Gotta love this country where scandal and hatred can overshadow the true evils our leaders do.

On the other side of the coin, as a publicity stunt, of which I have no doubt that this was, this was very cheap. For shame, Justin. For shame, Janet. Oh, and Janet, nice boob, by the way.

FCC to investigate Super Bowl breast-baring

Monday, February 2, 2004 Posted: 12:36 PM EST (1736 GMT)

NEW YORK (CNN) -- The head of the Federal Communications Commission on Monday called the baring of Janet Jackson's breast during the Super Bowl halftime show "deplorable" and said his agency will investigate.

"Like millions of Americans, my family and I gathered around the television for a celebration," FCC Chairman Michael Powell said in a statement. "Instead, that celebration was tainted by a classless, crass and deplorable stunt. Our nation's children, parents and citizens deserve better.

"I have instructed the commission to open an immediate investigation into last night's broadcast. Our investigation will be thorough and swift."

At the close of the Super Bowl halftime show, pop star Justin Timberlake popped off part of Jackson's corset -- exposing her right breast.

The CBS network, which broadcast the game, quickly apologized.

"CBS deeply regrets the incident that occurred during the Super Bowl halftime show," CBS said in a statement. "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."

Timberlake issued his own apology.

"I am sorry if anyone was offended by the wardrobe malfunction during the halftime performance at the Super Bowl," he said. "It was not intentional and is regrettable."

There was no official statement from Jackson, but her representative told MTV News that she apologizes for the incident.

Performing together in a routine that already had included a number of bump-and-grind moves, Timberlake reached across Jackson, flicking off the molded right cup of the bustier, leaving her breast bare except for a metallic pastie that appeared to be shaped like a spur or a sunburst.

MTV, which produced the halftime show, issued its own statement.

'The tearing of Janet Jackson's costume was unrehearsed, unplanned, completely unintentional and was inconsistent with assurances we had about the content of the performance," the statement said. "MTV regrets this incident occurred and we apologize to anyone who was offended by it."

But ahead of the game, the MTV Web site promised "shocking moments."

"I don't think the Super Bowl has ever seen a performance like this," said Jackson's choreographer, Gil Duldulao, in a story posted on MTV.com before the game.

"The dancing is great. She's more stylized, she's more feminine, she's more a woman as she dances this time around. There are some shocking moments in there, too."

Despite its official apology, MTV did not hesitate to promote the "unrehearsed, unplanned, completely unintentional" incident after the fact.

A Web page headline trumpeted: "Janet Jackson Got Nasty at the MTV-Produced Super Bowl Halftime Show."

Continuing, the Web page said, "Jaws across the country hit the carpet at exactly the same time. You know what we're talking about ... Janet Jackson, Justin Timberlake and a kinky finale that rocked the Super Bowl to its core."

People, I officially declare this absurd. We now return you to your ordinarily schedule life, already in progress.

ratbastid Darth Papa Location: Yonder	My buddy at work wondered if it was staged by AOL. He pointed out that the very next thing on the screen after an exposed tit was the AOL logo for that "top speed" thing they were hawking all night. Think about it. Through millions of heads the thoughts went, "Oh good, this is almost over. Yeah, yeah, they're singing. What's he doing? Holy shit, is that her BOOB!? Did I just see that!? AOL Top Speed!?" Maybe that's just what it takes to buy that kind of mind-share.

skysooner Registered User Location: Oklahoma	Same thing as the Paris Hilton video, etc. Just a cheap publicity stunt. No big deal. Been there done that.

attercop1 Upright	Seemed more like The Super Bowl "Has-Been" Show; as for the boob-baring...who cares...missed the naked guy on the field; that might have been entertaining.

Parker Crazy	My kids were watching the halftime show and I know the she had something over her nipple, but it was so fast my kids did not see that. I thought it was embarrassing.

pan6467 Lennonite Priest Location: Mansfield, Ohio USA	Hmmmm...... we have a great mixture of posts. ....... People saying there's a pastie and that it's no big deal and then the ones that get me the most, the ones where people get outraged that such a stunt would happen. Let's delve shall we........ First, anyone watching it live even on a big screen truly had no idea what they saw........ the event happened so fast that unless you knew it was coming you had an idea that something happened and saw a blurb but you did not see what these close up blown up pictures are showing. Secondly, for those of you who may not know such ladies, a nipple ring such as Janet is seen wearing is for pleasure during usually private love sessions (it is supposed to enhance the woman's pleasure), the design is common as a tatoo. Thirdly, for anyone that would be outraged at such a publicity stunt, my question is why? We live in a commercial society where by the pure fact that our nation is geared for thriving on scandal, it should surprise noone. Scandal sells, sex sells...... we have become a country that can't wait for the next scandal. Checkout the rags and see how thier sales increase everytime there's a great scandal. (this was not a a great scandal except for those making it out to be). Finally, perhaps it's time we allow nudity on tv. We are a country still governed by Puritanistic religious self righteous zealots, who would destroy all our freedoms so that they can have more power. I find it amazing how certain of these men can sit there and claim to preach Christ's word yet be so condemning of others that they have lost sight of Christ's true words. If Christ were here right now which evil do you think he'd find more offensive, Gangsta Rap promoting violence, movies promoting violence where blood spews all over and the "good guy" kills everyone in sight (all rated PG13 and shown on tele all the time with NO remorse shown) OR would he find someone being naked or love making where 2 people are sharing thier most precious intimate feelings with one another (rated R or quite possibly XXx and not shown on tv except late at night on premium or pay-per-view stations)? In the end WE, ALL, sell ourselves for a few ounces gold and the promise of a better life. We are all sluts, gigalos and ammoral if it comes to putting food on our table or maintaining a life for which we are accustomed to. And anyone who says they aren't, or condemns another for publicly giving what the people want, is a hypocrite. Have peace, have faith, have love, Phil the mad heretic __________________ I just love people who use the excuse "I use/do this because I LOVE the feeling/joy/happiness it brings me" and expect you to be ok with that as you watch them destroy their life blindly following.

pan6467 Lennonite Priest Location: Mansfield, Ohio USA	Since when is the Super Bowl Halftime a celebration? And what is it a celebration of? Capatalism, perhaps? After all it is not only the most watched show every year but the one demanding the highest price for commercials. Hell, a few years ago you heard more about the commercials than the game. For God's sake, people accept the fact that the Super Bowl in and of itself is commercial capitalism at its grandest and that everything done for the show is done to make money. Thereby making such poublicity stunts invariably predictable that they will happen. But I do suppose it keeps the people here at home from talking about Bush's new budget where he cuts the EPA deeply, or from an illegal war that is for oil (after all Bush has come out and said neither he nor his staff said anything about imminent danger or Saddam being linked to 9/11 and since no WMD's found ......) Gotta love this country where scandal and hatred can overshadow the true evils our leaders do. __________________ I just love people who use the excuse "I use/do this because I LOVE the feeling/joy/happiness it brings me" and expect you to be ok with that as you watch them destroy their life blindly following.

Bill O'Rights will always be an Alyson Hanniganite Location: In the dust of the archives	OH MY GOD, THERE'S HER BREAST!! ON TV!! OHHH NOOOO!!!! Geez...it's just a boob. Albeit a kinda nice boob... Eh, I've seen better, and I've seen worse. You'd think that people had never seen a uncovered breast before. On the other side of the coin, as a publicity stunt, of which I have no doubt that this was, this was very cheap. For shame, Justin. For shame, Janet. Oh, and Janet, nice boob, by the way. __________________ "I distrust those people who know so well what God wants them to do because I notice it always coincides with their own desires." - Susan B.

shimmy1 Tilted	Maybe on another person it would have been less disturbing, she made an "old woman face" in the shot shown earlier. Pretty sad, they claimed it to be unrehearsed at first too. tsk tsk Media, tsk tsk.
