The first Anniversary of the Super Bowl Wardrobe Malfunction That Shook the World

0 views

It has been a year since Janet Jackson revealed one of her breasts on live TV during the Super Bowl half time show ... and which subsequently caused the World to go nuts. It's amazing that we are still talking about it. It was only a breast for God's sake! Every baby sucks on one. Here are some clips from current discussion of the Janet Jackson Super Bowl breast incident that shook the World ... Courier Online: "I watched the whole boring Super Bowl halftime show last year and still managed to miss Janet Jackson flashing her breast." LA Times: "'Wardrobe malfunction' fallout spurs an effort to strike a better balance between tawdry, tame." Forget what you may have heard. Fox officials swear that Sunday's Super Bowl XXXIX won't be watered down just to atone for Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction" last year. "It's going to be truly entertaining, and anyone who says it's going to be boring doesn't know what they are talking about," said Fox Sports Chairman David Hill. At halftime, "Paul McCartney is going to do an enthralling show that is going to knock the world's socks off. It will not be watered down at all."" Monterey Herald.com: "Thanks to last year's halftime fiasco featuring Janet Jackson's "unintentionally" exposed breast, the NFL put the word out to producers and advertisers for Sunday's big game to tone it down. ..."You can break through and scream without having to expose yourself," said Joe Sciarrotta, executive creative director for advertising agency Ogilvy & Mather in Chicago. For proof, Sciarrotta points to Apple Macintosh's "1984" Orwellian ad that ran only once nationally on the Super Bowl, and made such an impression in 1984 and beyond that it's often held up today as the gold standard in advertising. "It didn't show nudity. A good idea will always break through."" The Conservative Voice: ""Parents witnessed first-hand the incessant crotch grabbing and revealing clothing, the dangerous mixture of aggression and sexuality, and the relentless sexual simulation and stimulation that characterizes MTV's programming," Bozell says. All that, he asserts, is par for the course on the youth-oriented cable network." KTVU.com: "He [brother Michael Jackson} also defended his sister Janet's "wardrobe malfunction" at last year's Super Bowl. "Actually, I was looking right at it and I didn't see it ... (I told her to) be strong. This too shall pass. Don't worry about it. I've seen worse things."" You can't just whip out a 40-year-old titty!"." murdok is the CEO of WebProBlog which focuses on internet business and marketing trends.
