I'm sorry. I fail to understand why this is still news. So, we saw a bit of nipple...Will it endure in peple's minds and create a downfall in society? No, I very much doubt it.

I know that American film and TV are more modest about exposed flesh but we're all the same underneath. You'll find that countries such as Sweden, where nudity isn't taboo are very well-adjusted and non-repressed nations.

Haven't the US courts got anything better to do?

Unseemly, unsightly, unwise maybe. Downright tacky and lowbrow, definitely. Indecent? That's not for government to decide.

Wardrobe "malfunction?" Come on, we're smarter than that. Not a chance.

Much a do about nothing? Yep.

It's not that it's a nipple that's the problem, it's that it's a plastic-surgically-installed ersatz nipple. The entire Jackson family is fashioned from petroleum products.

One would think that Americans had more important things to worry about...

So a naked nipple is indecent, and should not be seen. Oh dear me, just how prudish are the Americans? Is this REALLY happening?

Very much enjoyed the previous comment - its usually hard to be insecure and prurient at the same time. Families need to be protected from nipples as thoroughly shocking - I mean its only, well, all of us, that have them. Fortunately G J Bunton is a thoroughly hetrosexual and no doubt voracrious and skillful in attracting the likes of Janet Jackson and so he doesn't mind. Brilliant.

What an absolute waste of time and money! For God' sake (and I use the phrase deliberately), how can 21st century society be so obsessed with the fleeting exposure of one nipple? Shades of the Taliban here. Next it will be ankles!

zeno, Glasgow,

What a load of old coblers. The Americans are so up tight about a bit of flesh its laughable. You can even be arrested here for breast feeding a baby in public for Gods sake.
The puritans are certainly still at work here, and this case underlines what a stupid obsession this really is.
This incident should have been totally fogotton 10 seconds after it happened. Talk about milking the moment, oops no pun intended

Janet Jackson must be pretty desperate to have to resort to this.
As a red blooded male I don't mind her exposing herself but at the appropriate time. Not when families are grouped around the TV watching a major sporting event.

As I sit here looking at this article, there are no comments up yet. But I know what you're all thinking. And I agree. The United States is a weird, weird country.
