On This Day: Janet Jackson's Wardrobe Malfunction
The breast best Halftime Show in Superbowl history?
It happened four years ago today, but football fans still feel the pain.
Who are we trying to kid? It might have been Superbowl's greatest moment - heck, maybe even cable television's greatest moment, when Janet Jackson's breast accidentally popped out during a Halftime Show performance with Justin Timberlake.
It went into the record books as a "wardrobe malfunction," but commentators still talk about it on sports shows like it was the greatest tragedy in sports history.
The best part? Check out Timberlake's expression. Kinda priceless.

I wasn't even paying attention when it flashed on the screen. It is not that "football fans still feel the pain", but all viewers of television feel the pain. This inspired the indecency police to come out in full force and are actively searching to be offended by shows. We get such ridiculous rulings such that network affiliates are being fined for material that shows after 10 PM on the East and West Coast, but at 9 PM in Central and Mountain timezones.

That's the fault of the government-appointed censors and our tolerance of same, and not the fault of Ms. Jackson's egregious nipple – which, I believe, neither sent anyone to the insane asylum nor blinded any children.

You sure about that? That thing she was wearing could easily have poked a child's eye out.

Yes. There were no babies on stage at the time.
The horror... the horror...

Waldrobe, hmmm? What color of a robe do you get a forest?

if you must shove your titty in somebody's face,
shove it in a baby's
shove it in a baby's
tits are a tease
and fun to squeeze
but babies need love too...

Since when does something doing exactly what it was designed for constitute a malfunction?
Regret, and spin doctors can only change history if we let them. This 'wardrobe malfunction' should never be seen without the knowing quotes.

I think it was a malfunction of thought, as in "sure, we can show one-half of one nipple for one-half of one second without the bible-thumpers going apeshit."

Such stupidity over the sight of a nipple on tv! Why be so upset at something that everybody has?
