Aren't these companies all owned by the same parent company???

What a joke.

While Hamas was the sponsor of the suicide bombing, we did not produce it.

Her stunt prevented AOL from streaming the halftime show online, which was part of its original deal.

she didn't show her breast till the very last seconds of the show

So how did this stop AOL from streaming the halftime show online??

Instead, its $10 million sponsorship of the halftime show and numerous commercial spots turned into a disaster because of Janet Jackson's inability to keep her clothes on, analysts said.

AOL's numerous commercial spots came a cropper because they were boring and stupid. Ms. Jackson's exposed mammary gland had nothing to do with that.

I'll believe AOL cares about providing family-safe internetting when it dumps its rap radio channel. My co-worker plays it and it is filled with the most vile filth you could imagine, with the worst lines repeated ad nauseum.

Otherwise, I'd believe the SB halftime show is nothing but an extension of what they already offer - boob and all.

AOL is acting like a criminal who got mugged.

"AOL may complain officially, but privately, they were exchanging high-fives."

Complaining loudly and celebrating in private, just like the idiotic fat broad who spilled scalding coffee in her lap and won a lawsuit against McDonalds.

I got rid of AOL after my children were spammed by pornographic websites and began receiving email from pederasts encountered in chat rooms. I dutifully notified AOL of each instance, and forwarded the emails for their action. AOL never responded. They were too busy making money by selling our names and email addresses to the highest bidder.

AOL has lost another customer. It is switcheroo time!

"Content was certainly part of the contract," the official said

Come on AOL, did you ever listen to the lyrics of the "performers" on your sleeze fest? Either way AOL should be sued also for putting this stuff out on prime time.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Why? They didn't get a "happy ending"?

It stunk with or without the boob. No deal.

These are crocodile tears, if there ever were any. The stunt could only have increased the level of the exposure for which they were striving, by increasing the ripple effect, i.e. people talking about it the next day.

The function of this statement, now, is to make sure that the public associates AOL with the event; they were probably nervous that otherwise what they paid for might have upstaged the product.
