MTV points the finger of blame at Janet & Time Warner seeks refund of ad money!!!!!
 

?Janet Jackson engineered it,? MTV Chief Executive Tom Freston told Reuters in an interview.

The blame on Jackson comes on a second day of fallout after pop idol Justin Timberlake tore off half of Jackson?s black leather bustier while the pair were singing a duet, exposing her right breast at the conclusion of Sunday?s Super Bowl halftime show.

?There?s now going to be an FCC investigation into the nipple,? Freston told reporters at a news conference.

The sources told Reuters that Time Warner Inc. unit America Online may now seek a partial refund of the estimated $10 million it paid as a major Super Bowl advertiser and exclusive halftime show sponsor.

?While AOL was the sponsor of the Super Bowl Halftime Show, we did not produce it,? the company said in a statement. ?Like the NFL, we were surprised and disappointed with certain elements of the show.?

FULL STORY LINK!

These people all suck. It was a tit, bfd.

Its a freaakin nipple for christs sake!

Fu*k AOL! It was just a boob!

yeah, Justin's not at fault at all for his part in it.

A war based on lies causing the death of thousands of civilians doesn't offend people but somehow Janet Jackson's tit does.

Talk about having your priorities fucked up.

well you must forgot that janet is black. that is automatically guilty


should of just stuck with the wardrobe malfunction story

?There?s now going to be an FCC investigation into the nipple,? Freston told reporters at a news conference.

I think these dudes are into the nipple fetish

anybody want nipple traffic?

:1orglaugh

dayum.

Yea, no shit. Things are pretty fucked up.

TIME FOR A AOL BOYCOTT!!!!!

I hope the FCC is going to refund my tax dollars spent for the investigation on the nipple. What a waste.

They will get 50 times the press doing this then they got with the superbowl. If I was them I would raise a stink too.

They are clearly trying to distance themselves from the antics that went on onstage, probably to absolve themselves of any negative light that may be cast by some viewers.


Typical blame-shifting in the corporate world. Interesting how this will play out.


Not.

Janet's tit IS pretty offensive

What a joke.

They're pissed off b/c Justin didn't rip both of them off and show both tits. If I'm correct, didn't Diana Ross play with Lil Kim's breast that was showing even more than Janet did, on an awards show???

:1orglaugh :thumbsup

greedy bastards

Hypocrites ............ all of them ..........Those guys got way more than their moneys worth! Now they are "milking it" for all its worth with self righteous indignation:2 cents:

if i would have gotten the chance to get my advertising done for free because of this

why the fuck not?

Fuckin' A...thank you! Exactly what I was thinking! :thumbsup

SO WHAT!!! Nudity or partial nudity is NOT porn for christ's sake. Ack, these people get on my nerves.

:BangBang:

Not so shocking. Also, Janet admitted it was all her doing. No one else knew but claims she only meant to show the red bra. Personally I doubt that's the truth -- oh, and yeah it's pretty sad how much cooler talk a little nipple slip has generated.

OMFG the drama!

This country is a bunch of idiots.

You are truly a clueless idiot!!! :321GFY

Good they should point the finger at her

here we go again, the blame game.

yeah he is clueless. The war offended heaps of people :)

Janet's tit is far more scandalous than some typical boring run of the mill war.

?There?s now going to be an FCC investigation into the nipple,?

^ that made me spit my gatorade out and laugh my ass off. I want a refund for my gatorade.

:sleep

Its all a George W Bush Coverup!!

Yea dunno why people make a big deal over a tit. Don't magazines have those breast cancer test things that has a naked chick on there checking out her tits uncensored?

She should've just put pasties on her nipple! And TiVo has announced that was the most rewinded and played back part of the superbowl! :1orglaugh

jDoG

look on the bright side, all those kids who saw the nipple and now see the after affects will be so sexually repressed and embarrased any time someone even mentions a tit that they will have to surf the net for any sexual release in the future.

Time Warner is such a cheap ass company they would use any excuse to try to get money back...

Digi, got a point there... maybe for us it's just a tit... but what about the minors who are there to watched super bowl?

Plus i bet the ratings went up.

the funniest part is that this is the most exciting thing that happened during that pathetic, shitty, boring football game.

Also, the Republicans, who constantly talk about "media deregulation" and "less government" are suddenly in favor of strict media regulation.

Could the Republican party be any more hypocritical?

You can see more tit walking around South Beach at any given time..... Janet's breast wasn't a scaring experience for anyone. (Unless the child has never been to the beach, never watched cable, never opened his Mom's Vogue magazine or freely surfed the internet, etc.)

What the fuck it the Big thing about tits , Europeans have a hell of a healthier attitude towards this. They are not so repressed about human Sexuality :2 cents:

It's not all Americans, just the social conservative morons.

Unfortunately, they control the U.S. news media, so they are making a big deal out of it.

I guess I shouldn't hit up AOL for a Players Ball sponsorship.

I wonder if they'll get their money back. What a judge would rule. They still got their exposure, asking for 100% seems unreasonable.

Man, when I was in Europe, it seems like tits are seen on regular TV all the time. It's when we make a big deal out of it that it actually becomes a big deal.

I think TV should allow womens breasts on TV. Why should the human body be looked at as shamefull? When it's in an art gallery it's not shamefull.

Ya no kidding!

The only thing scandalous about that tittie exposure is that I wasn't there to lick it!

Funny thing is I would've never seen it live in the half time show..I totally missed it....I saw it because they kept showing it in the newspaper and on the news LOL
