My mom has a theory that Janet did this to take some of the negative attention away from Michael.

As I watched the Super Bowl, I was embarrassed for those who watched it with children. Why should you be forced to explain to a 7yr old girl what a four hr erection is.? Why so many scatalogical commercials? Why choose half-time entertainment with suggestive lyrics and inappropriate performances? 60% of American tv sets were tuned to the game. Of course families with children are part of that audience. I don't want Lawrence Welk, but why cursing, desecrating flags, bumping and grinding and nudity? MTV and BET (Viacom) is getting rich while taking our youth culture to hell and all we can do is deflect responsibility by saying "there are worse things". Thats what the cultural degradists want to hear. Since there are no standards, anything goes, because we have all been so jaded that we have seen worse.

MTV was a bad choice of producers and I'm sure that the NFL exec that signed off on that is out of a job.

Very true...Very true.. I didn't really expect anyone on GC to see my point of view...but Thanks for coming out on a limb with me...although I'm used to being the lone supporter of an issue

Exclusive: Timberlake Says He's Appalled

LOS ANGELES (KCBS) In an exclusive interview Wednesday, Justin Timberlake told CBS 2 News that he was appalled by what happened, and that his own family was offended by his racy Super Bowl halftime duet with Janet Jackson. The singer insisted he thought only Jackson's bustier, not her breast, would be revealed when he pulled on her costume.

CBS 2' s Mark Coogan caught up with Timberlake at the Staples Center, where he was rehearsing for this weekend's Grammy Awards.

A frustrated Timberlake told Coogan he wanted to get something off his chest, then launched into his side of the story surrounding the now infamous Super Bowl halftime stunt.

He said he is excited to be in town for the upcoming Grammy Awards show, but is frustrated by what has grown into an international incident since last Sunday, and by the fact that his character was being questioned.

"I do understand that there were a lot of people that were completely offended by what happened, including my own family. And I think that's probably the part that's frustrating the most for me and it's completely, completely, completely, regrettable," he told KCBS.

Timberlake said that he's had a really good year, especially with his music, and doesn't need such publicity.

He's been on tour for months, he said, and had been asked by his manager to do something at the Super Bowl. He said he turned it down at first, but then agreed when Jackson called him. He said they found a way to work his song and hers into the same performance, so he decided to do the show.

"I don't feel like I need publicity like this. And I wouldn't want to be involved with this stunt, especially something of this magnitude."

Timberlake said that prior to the show he got a call from Jackson and her choreographer saying they wanted to do a "costume reveal."

"Now I was under the impression that what was going to be revealed in the costume reveal was a red bustier," he said.

He said he did not have time to rehearse it before taking the stage, and was then shocked at the outcome.

"When what happened, happened, all I could say was 'Oh my God, oh my God.'"

He said they brought a towel up on stage, and he covered her up as they walked off. "I was completely embarrassed and just walked off the stage as quickly as I could."

He said later that night he was asked to explain what happened, so he did.

"And now it's turned into an unfortunate, incredibly huge situation," he added.

"The only other thing that I could say is that I do understand, I do understand, how unfortunate this is."

He said having a delay during this Sunday's Grammy Awards show, to give producers a chance to electronically block any offensive material, is a good idea as far as he is concerned. But he said the producers won't need their thumbs on any button when he performs.

My thing is, "WHY HAVE A HALFTIME CONCERT N-E-WAY?" I watched 18-20 weeks of football WITHOUT the sucky halftime concert. Just go back to Terry, James, Jimmie and Howie like you do every other week for halftime analysis..... maybe give us a sneak peak into the locker rooms to listen to the halftime adjustments each coach makes.... then, BACK TO FOOTBALL IN THE 2ND HALF...

Just a suggestion... instead of watching Justin make a 'HALFTIME ADJUSTMENT' on Janet.

Thats definitely whats up. TOm Brady was my fantasy QB..and although I lost my league

all I wanted to see was Carolina get crushed!!

I talked to a friend of mine who said in all of her years of watching it, this was actually a very exciting game that could have gone either way at a couple of times during the game. Sadly everyone is talking about the show and not the game.

Oh and when I asked about Lil Kim vs. Janet, I was being facetious again.

I believe the FCC has let a lot of things go in recent years in terms of language and what is seen and not seen on TV. I remember the first time I heard B **** on TV (was watching 90210) and I thought my ears were playing tricks on me. It was only a matter of time before a breast was shown. Not that I condone the breast, but . . .

I really believe that it was a publicity stunt for Janet on many levels. Her name is not as out there as Beyonce's. Sad that she felt that she had to lower herself in THIS way to get her name mentioned on TV, the Internet, message boards, etc. etc. etc. 100000000 times a day, but such is life.

I blame R. Kelly, lol.

Has the NAACP said anything about this yet?

I should have known you were being facetious

But your last question is on point! Hmmmm!

Well, football season was always interesting in our household--me being a staunch Vikings fan and my daughter being a staunch Cowboys fan. Don't know where I went wrong in raising that child.

Why are everyday Joes and Janes suing over this fiasco?

A 10-A-C woman is suing Janet, Justin, CBS, MTV b/c viewing the show "outraged" her!

A Cali man is also suing.
