I would imagine the "shocked" and "appalled" responses on forums like these are exactly the reaction they wanted. I find it funny that most people have no problem with women whipping 'em out to breastfeed in public but are offended by this stunt. Like MW said, a boob's a boob, regardless of the situational context.

Mr Poky never ripped off my maternity bra in public so I could feed little Poky.

I disagree. I wouldn't say I'm offended the stunt, but what I thought was inappropriate was the sexuality that was displayed, not the nudity. An image of a woman being stripped against her will is not appropriate for a family show.
Women don't breast-feed in public in attempt to turn anyone on.

TV has a lot of sexuality - that's a fact. To expect any sporting event these days to not have it, especially on TV, is naive.
No way was Jackson stripped against her will; otherwise you would've seen one of her bodyguards immediately come after Timberlake, and you wouldn't hear any apologies from her camp; rather, you'd hear screams of LAW SUIT!
The Super Bowl is considered a family show? The annual homage to testosterone and alcohol binging? I must've been watching the other game all these years. Especially those that prominently feature a T&A-focused cheerleading squad.
Flashers don't expose themselves in public in an attempt to turn anyone on, either, but no one would support their nakedness. Then again, if they had a baby hanging off them or if they wore pasties maybe they'd stand a chance.

I know sexuality is everywhere, and that is why I make choices about what my kids do/and do not watch. I don't think I'm naive to think kids should be able to watch a football game without someone getting naked.

I know it wasn't really against her will, but that is the image they were going for. I don't find that cute or sexy and it is certainly not something I would want to teach my kids is O.K.

i think what bothers me the most is that the weasel loser Timerlake ripped it off of her. it becomes a sexual power issue to me i guess. 
it seemed to leave the weasel in a position of power and that pisses me off. boob schmoob. she shouldda yanked his drawers down around his knees exposing his Scooby-Do Underoos. now that would have been a fitting end to the debacle.

don't live sporting events broadcast with a 7 second delay just for such events? I.e. someone swearing, naked people, etc...

Speaking of out of place sexuality, is it just me or did anyone else notice there are now 3 different pills available that help men obtain erections.
And all 3 had Super Bowl adds.
Does this disturb anyone else?

With all those ads, you would think that football has a disproportionately large (no pun intended, I think) fan base with erectile problems?
I don't see this many ads during basketball.

I agree, and I don't even have kids. Scantily clad cheerleaders is one thing, but that was ridiculously tacky and I can easily see how people would find it offensive.
As for the breastfeeding thing, if I had kids, I don't know that I'd personally be comfortable doing it in public, but that's just me. I don't see anything offensive about anyone else doing it. That's a little more natural than purposely flashing your boobs, or your ass or any other part of you for the purpose of "selling sex." Like someone else said, people who breastfeed aren't doing that.

it's prolly a piercing. I've seen this jewelry. the star has a small hole in the center, but it's held in place by the piercing jewelry ie a "barbell." |
Ding ding!! We have a winnah! That's exactly what it is....
Not that I know anything about it..... *bolts for the door*
