Talk football in the SB thread, halftime show here

[Guest Ghettoman]

Last year, and I'm pretty sure he's got a few grammy nods, which means to suggest the success of that is well behind him is a little absurd. Suggesting his career is over because his ex is getting more attention, especially fresh off her own controversy and album, is dumb.

 

And just incase you guys didn't know, more than one or two celebrities can be successful at the same time.

 

And how can you say they wanted the attention garnered from something that wasn't planned?

Nothing to back it up except for the fact neither have released an album in awhile and the public hadn't been talking about them. Now its all over the radio and TV thus placing them back into the public spotlight.

 

.

Well considering Justin's album came out only a bit more than a year ago, and shit the bastard is everywhere and I mean Janet Jackson could put out an album of her taking a shit and it would sell, so to say this was a publicity stunt is pretty fucking stupid. These are two people who are clearly exposed enough to the point where they don't need to be exposing breasts to get noticed. It was probably an accident or if not they were just fufilling some kinky exhibitionist fantasies they have

[Guest El Satanico]

And to whomever claimed the Stones aren't current, I'd have to say they're one of the more timeless bands out there.

I said "current Rolling Stones? yuck". Nothing about them not being current, just that they haven't been worth listening to for over 2 decades. They were great from the 60s to the mid 70s, but that's about it.

 

Rolling Stones or P-Diddy...I'd have no interest in watching either halftime show.

Janet Jackson hasn't been a topic of discussion in YEARS.

 

Britney Spears.

Christina Aguilera.

Jessica Simpson.

Beyonce.

Pink.

 

These are the women being talked about today.

 

No one looks at Janet Jackson as a sex symbol anymore which, after last night, we can see she still desires to be.

 

Hence the publicity stunt.

[Guest Ghettoman]

She got massive publicity for the simple rumor of possibly dating Justin, and her name wouldn't be brought up in her brothers issues if she was in a career rut. It means her name is still bankable and people are willing to use it when they can.

 

And remember, more than 5 celebrities can be talked about at one time. It's really simple. Actually I think we've done it in this thread.

[Guest Ghettoman]

And her last album totally established her a sex symbol, if that wasn't established enough, more so then a nip slip would.

She got massive publicity for the simple rumor of possibly dating Justin

 

Massive? I think we're overblowing things a little. Yes, she got some publicity, but others still had a lot more attention. I'm sure somewhere, Gladys Knight has appeared in a gossip column or been talked about around a dinner table lately. Does that mean she's still relevant?

 

 

and her name wouldn't be brought up in her brothers issues if she was in a career rut. It means her name is still bankable and people are willing to use it when they can.

 

LaToya Jackson, Tito Jackson, and the rest of the family are being asked for their thoughts on the situation. Their careers haven't exactly been thriving.

 

And remember, more than 5 celebrities can be talked about at one time. It's really simple. Actually I think we've done it in this thread.

 

Yes, but you're not listening. To some extent, Janet WAS being talked about. But it wasn't to the extent that she WANTED it. She wasn't being mentioned in the same breath as the big female pop stars of today like she once was. She had a desire to grab the public's attention again, so what does she do.......? Show her tit. Now people are talking about her again.

[Guest Ghettoman]

But letting your tit out for exposure is if your in the career toilet and can't get out, she's not.

 

Who are they trying to get most of there Jackson case stuff from, Janet. Her and Justin were on tabloids everywhere for going out to a club together.

 

I think it's clear that she didn't need the publicity, especially negative publicity.

At Janet being a washed up star. If she came out with an album a week before the incident it would sell. Matter of fact she's playing Lena Horne in her next movie project. Janet and Justin probably have the same demographic of fans anyway.

And as of 7am this morning her new single "Just A Little While" dropped. I believe her new album will be dropping very soon.

[Guest Salacious Crumb]

Well Ghetto,

 

she admitted it was planned so deal with it.

Well Ghetto,

 

she admitted it was planned so deal with it.

But......but.....but.......HE SWORE IT WAS AN ACCIDENT!

NFL Chief Against Jackson Display

 

I'm still waiting for US Weekly to trash it, the Pope to condemn it, and Trogdor to smote it.

[Guest Ghettoman]

Saying it went farther than intended isn't admitting it, it's actually right along with what I said. She intended for part of it to rip off, showing something revealing nonetheless, but not her juggs.

Each CBS station could get fined up to $27,500 for the ordeal by the FCC which could end up being a big hefty fine all total. CBS is doing a video delay system for the Grammys and might not invite Timberlake and Janet to perform/present.

Well, another problem I have with this is:

 

How would Janet wearing a bra be shocking?

 

Think about it. This is MTV. They have an IDEA what could shock. On a whole bunch of MTV shows and music videos, you have girls walking around in lingerie, bras, and panties. Why would Janet doing it be all that shocking after the public has pretty much gotten used to this kind of dress?

 

That COULDN'T have been the shocking surprise MTV had planned.

 

Justin Timberlake's appearance CERTAINLY couldn't have been the shocking surprise planned.

 

Janet's tit flopping out and her nipple being coincidentally blocked for the most part - yeah, pretty shocking.

 

I just don't see how MTV couldn't have been going for this angle. As we learned with the Britney/Madonna kiss, they want people to TALK. Janet wearing a bra....barely anyone would have batted an eye. Exposing a breast on stage....and we're still talking about it 2 days later, with the conversations undoubtedly still continuing for weeks.

 

The pieces on this angle fit together. The pieces on the "well, the costume malfunctioned" angle doesn't.

[Guest FrigidSoul]

Can't we all just agree that it was a nice titty and move on?

[Damaramu 0]

Can't we all just agree that it was a nice titty and move on?

Nice? Hell no. Sorry I've never gone for the Janet.

[Guest Ghettoman]

NY, this is the same MTV that pushed Britney's performance with a snake as shocking, because she was holding a snake.

 

Everytime they hype a shock or suprise, it's lame and tame, hell even the kiss was tame when you think about it.

 

This is just not something they would plan, and considering the obviously negative effects of doing the stunt, I highly doubt this was thought out and pro/con'd before hand.

[Guest Choken One]

I like her overall body but her tits werent special

[Guest El Satanico]

The worst part about all of this...we're being laughed at by other countries for being uptight prudes who freak out over a half covered nipple.

 

As George Carlin said...this is why England kicked the pilgrims out.
