Justin Timberlake ripping of Janet Jackson's shirt

[The Germanator]

It was definitely planned. The only question is whether it was planned just between Justin and Janet for publicity, or whether they had the go ahead to do it by CBS and MTV. MTV and CBS have issued apologies, but according to the Drudge Report (http://www.drudgereport.com/mattjj.htm) CBS knew about it before...

In addition, it wasn't really a nipple cap, it was actually a nipple ring with a shield, like this:

Well if it's any networks fault, it;s MTV. They were in charge of the half time show, and it's either MTV or just Janet and Justin that planned the stunt. We all know that they won't be in charge of something like again.

It's unlikely that MTV will produce another Super Bowl halftime.

Whoa, pwned.

Yeah, I knew there must have been some type of set up behind it.
