Everyone's mad at Janet over the Super Bowl thing. She publicly apologized for it, why can't people move on?

If it had been Madonna who bared a breast people wouldn't have batted an eye because everyone knows what Madonna is like. People just wanted to diss Janet because of what her pedophile brother Michael is going through.

Janet appearently has not moved on......

She publicly apologized for it, why can't people move on?

Not really, it was one of those Hollywood half-step apologies, "I'm sorry if you were offended." It puts the burden on someone else. As if it's a problem with you, not her.

If it had been Madonna who bared a breast people wouldn't have batted an eye because everyone knows what Madonna is like.

I would have wanted OSHA to fine her for creating a tripping hazard in the workplace.

I would disagree.

First, Madonna's Spears-moment generated equal backlash, but since she's "over" it hurt Spears more than her.

Janet's been eclipsed by several younger performers. She's just trying to generate some publicity.

Did you watch her second musical number on SNL? Pathetic...

There was a day when Jacksons actually did vocals. Decadent dance troupes with dudes in corsets....sheesh.

What a waste.

I don't think it was so much what Janet did - it was that she did it at the SuperBowl. And .. that program is on public airwaves. Janet can do all the sleeze she wants over of VH1 or MTV.

With all due respect, Janet jackson was dissed for a couple valid reasons.

1 - This was family time - MTV antics are not needed or appreciated. MTV has 24+ hours where they can replace the idea of love with just sex, infidelity, narcissism etc.

2 - Janet (and Justin) insulted the public's intelligence by stating that it was an accident. Timberlake was singing how she will be naked at the end of the song. Plus their stories didn't jive.

3 - We conservatives are always being told that we are not tolerant of women's rights (as defined by them) and yet not a peep out of them in regards to the degragation/control theme of the song.

4 - The bottomline is this was a publicity stunt to boost her sagging profile and get free publicity for her new album. She should be happy it was a controversy judging by her placement in the charts at the moment.

PS - This didn't help her brother in any way - just added to the public's valid assessment of the Jackson family as publicity-at-any-cost junkies.
