*grin* I had a strap break during an audition for a high school play. All of the sudden I was, um, lopsided.

Frisco -- it doesn't specifically say the bra tore -- what it says was that he was supposed to pull off the outer black "bustier" to reveal the bra. Obviously since we revealed much MORE than the bra, then the bra came off too (check out those Drudge photos again - he has both black AND red cloth in his hand.))

Oh, I've checked them out. I'm just saying that it could've been a front-clasper, which were discussing in juicy detail right now.

Looking at all of this discussion and how much air-time is being devoted to it on TV and radio, did they get the publicity that this stunt was intended to garner?
I think they did and it's just a sadly successful media stunt.

and a front clasp bra cup won't tear off any easier than a back clasp, geez. not unless it was a fruit roll up instead of fiber!

porce I think we've established that while some front clasp bras are possibly prone to "popping loose", the difference between that and actually tearing fabric are drastic

And I think the best way to deal with such stunts is to mock them. These people deserve to be deflated by mockery.

I have to say that I find it really interesting that so many people find the Superbowl - and football in general - to be "family friendly". As far as I can see, it is an awfully violent sport that doesn't have much of a problem with injuring (sometimes seriously) an opponent to prevent them from reaching their goal. I don't find that to be "family friendly" at all.
Then again, I don't approve of all the whoop surrounding the game, that tries to promote the idea that anyone who doesn't get excited about the Superbowl is unAmerican. The Superbowl has very little to do with sport, and everything to do with advertising and making millions, if not billions of dollars for huge corporations.

I had one of those front clasps. It always opened when I lay down on my side. I never noticed it until it was too late. After church on Sundays I'd go to my friend's house (Now he's my husband! ) and I'd lay on the couch and watch TV. Like three hours later I'd look down and... No wonder his parents thought I was easy.

In defense of football: If it was as boring as golf or baseball, no one would watch it. Hockey is more violent. Football is nearly perfect for tv; Short bouts of intense activity, followed by a break, perfect for tv. But then again I suppose we could all be watching carebears or my little pony,

Baseball is not either boring. And, at least they don't play baseball in subfreezing temperatures in the driving snow. I never have understood what that is all about.
And, yes, hockey probably is more violent; then again, hockey players get to carry weapons. I don't go to hockey games or watch them, either.
Oh, and those short bouts of activity followed by a break: sure it's perfect - for the advertisers. It just should not take three and half or four hours to play a football game. It never used to.

it may have been a piercing in janet's case (and i knew she had her right nipple pierced) but there are similar pieces of jewelry available that require no piercing.
just so inquiring minds know.

It (as always) is about the money. Football did not used to be played so long into the winter, as the season used to contain fewer games.
Ad are a necessary evil (there are way around the advertising (ala HBO), however I am certain accusations of elitism would soon follow), the nature of football makes the ads less disruptive.
This whole argument in moot, boxing and hockey are much more violent then football (I admit the violence is part of the appeal), and none of these sports are going away. I also noticed you did not contest my claims about golf.

This has to be the biggest mountain made out of the most inconsequential mole hill I've ever seen. 'Kicked out of the Grammy's'...good grief.

They abused their appearance on one public event on that network. I think banning them from appearing on the next one is a marvelously fitting penalty.

Of course not. As far as I'm concerned, golf is the best way I can think of to ruin a perfectly good walk. (I really wish that was an original observation, but I'm sure it isn't.) Also, golf really is as much a game of chance as it is a game of skill. No one will ever be able to convince me that getting a hole in one is a matter of developing a skill; it is purely a matter of luck.
And Storm Saxon..."mountain out of molehill" indeed. Besides being a pretty darn good (and quite appropriate) pun, that was my whole point in the first place. You just put it so much more succinctly than I managed to do.
Now, personally, I couldn't care less if either of those two are on the Grammy awards. I don't think either of them has all that much talent, other than a demonstrated ability to show off. But banning them from the Grammys just makes me nervous. Even running the show with a few seconds tape delay smacks of punishing everyone for the stupidity, on one occasion, of two individuals.

The dancing was, the song was - the exposure by itself wasn't. All sexuality stopped once the "boob" occured.

And now ER, in direct response to the Janet Jackson nipple of doom, has cut a scene from one of their shows where a woman showed a nipple in the context of something or other.
Survivor blurs out whatsisname's penis and/or various other people when their clothes have been removed.
Neither of the above is anything like sexual, so it has nothing to do about sex, or eroticism.
What is it about? Who knows.

Yeah so I'm crazy-outer-space--but so what, television is still television, wether it's on a rocket ship or in a living. I watched the evening of the most celebrated televonic american world event.
I was disgusted. grossed out to the max.
not by a boobie, I have no fear of boobies. Boobies have always been very kind to me.
i was puked out by the television commercials, an old dude beats up an old woman for a bag of chips, penis grow commercials, dick eating dogs, and anti high commercials directly followed by a guy driving a 60 thou car seeing the world like he's high. Talking monkeys.
if you piled up all the commercials you would have a direct sum of the pure morality of the heart of american capitalism.
does anyone remember the super bowl commercials from the dot boom?
el sicko.
the NFL has had a player SHOOT and kill his pregnant wife gangland style, and do they issue an apology?
nope.
Justin shows America a titty and what happens?
A formal nfl commision is formed to look into it along with a goofy sincere apology.
Trent Lott goes on TV with moral outrage over this detonated weapon of mass social mind destruction, he also calls for a comission to look into stricter laws for tv.
don't take drugs take drugs
war is peace freedom is slavery coke is pepsi
your government loves you you need your corporation eat teeth
boobies are high in moral carbohydrates
<T>
boobies are also soft and smooth

Thor's right about a lot of things. It's all symptomatic of a sick society. Where are things like friendship, kindness, and play? Why is it all about sex and drugs and hurting? Why is so much of our "entertainment" and fantasy about hurting? There is no heroism in ripping off a woman's clothes, no honor in fighting over a beer.
Wouldn't it be refreshing to have a product marketed as something "So Good You WANT to Share"?

quote:lma, it was Mark Twain. "Golf is a good walk spoiled."
I'm glad I'm in good company, at least. I mean, if you're going to steal a line, why not steal from the best, eh?
I notice that this whole stupid episode has brought out an old chestnut from McCarthyism - guilt by association. Now, another member of N'Sync has been disinvited from performing in the half-time show at the Pro Bowl, for no good reason that I can think of (other than lack of talent, but that's just my opinion). This is exactly why I have been worried about all of the over-reaction to the Incident. This, and things like the censorship of last night's "ER" episode (or at least proposed censorship; I didn't watch it, so I don't know if this ever came about or not). As someone else said, this is hypersensitivity taken to it's ridiculous extreme.
quote: Now, another member of N'Sync has been disinvited from performing in the half-time show at the Pro Bowl, for no good reason that I can think of
News reports say it is because the lyrics of the song he is going to perform include the words "horny" and "naughty". But that seems pretty tame compared to a lot else we hear..
I think the uproar isn't so much the action, but the context of the SuperBowl. If people want to get nasty on TV shows - - a parent can simply forbid the kids watch that show, or turn it off.
It was just that most parents didn't expect it at the superbowl, so weren't prepared, I guess. That's what I'm hearing anyway.
