CBS apologizes for Janet's halftime flash

Singer's top torn open at end of Super Bowl show - The Associated Press

Updated: 10:54 p.m. ET Feb. 01, 2004

NEW YORK -CBS apologized on Sunday for an unexpectedly R-rated end to its Super Bowl halftime show, when singer Justin Timberlake tore off part of Janet Jackson?s top, exposing her breast.

?CBS deeply regrets the incident,? spokeswoman LeslieAnne Wade said after the network received several calls about the show.

The two singers were performing a flirtatious duet to end the halftime show, and at the song?s finish, Timberlake reached across Jackson?s leather gladiator outfit and pulled off the covering to her right breast.

The network quickly cut away from the shot, and did not mention the incident on the air.

Timberlake said he did not intend to expose Jackson?s breast.

?I am sorry that anyone was offended by the wardrobe malfunction during the halftime performance of the Super Bowl,? Timberlake said in a statement. ?It was not intentional and is regrettable.?

Wade said CBS officials attended rehearsals of the halftime show all week, ?and there was no indication any such thing would happen. The moment did not conform to CBS? broadcast standards and we would like to apologize to anyone who was offended.?

The Super Bowl halftime show, which also featured P. Diddy, Nelly and Kid Rock, was produced by MTV, CBS? corporate cousin in Viacom.

?We were extremely disappointed by elements of the MTV-produced halftime show,? Joe Browne, NFL executive vice president, said. ?They were totally inconsistent with assurances our office was given about the content of the show.

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

MTV issued a contrite statement, saying the incident was ?unrehearsed, unplanned, completely unintentional.?

well it's comforting to know that the Jackson family are all a bunch of perverts........what bugs me is they continue to do it for publicity purposes.This ONE-up manship by so called celebritys and most by celebritys who are basically waning in popularity stooping to low levels to re-invent themselves is nothing but a comment on the way society has garnered itself to let it happen.I think criminal charges should be laid against someone over this.It shows no class and it certainly isnt "entertainment".It's pathetic. And I myself am very liberal in such attitudes but for heaven sakes....in the right place for the right time.....wtg janet....you did nothing but make a fool of yourself in front of basically the whole world not to mention what mr timberlake achieved to do.....possibly destroy what's left of a bottomed out career as it is.

"I am sorry that anyone was offended by the wardrobe malfunction during the halftime performance of the Super Bowl," Timberlake said in a statement. "It was not intentional and is regrettable."

All I've gotta say is Bull**** I'm sure she always walks around with little stars covering her ######. Come now, that was planned, there's no way they can play it off otherwise...

    • I'm content with my dual charger for now, but this actually sounds quite nice - and it's less expensive than I was expecting. As for the company, they can name themselves "Nazirapist" for all I care.
    • While I miss Outlook for a couple of small things, I use Thunderbird now because I don't like how MS wants to force you to change things.
    • Chrome has history of being the browser everyone uses because Internet Explorer sucks, not realizing that Edge changed that, but people got into the habit of using Chrome. I use Brave and I've never been happier with a browser. It does what it is meant to do and gets out of the way.

    • Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft today announced a new endeavor that aims to make it simpler for Godot developers to get their products into the Xbox PC ecosystem. Dubbed the "XBOX Godot Sample," this is a new public reference for developers using the open-source engine. This is set to serve as an example of how Microsoft GDK, Xbox Services, and PlayFab can be integrated into their projects. The sample is available now on GitHub as a working example. This covers key features in gaming projects that developers may need to release their projects on Xbox PC, with everything from matchmaking and game sign-in to gamepad compatibility with Godot being covered. This release is being called the first step in giving Godot developers the tools to bring their games over to Xbox PC, with more changes to come based on feedback and issue reports. However, the company was clear that this is not related to bringing Godot projects to Xbox consoles. The engine's open development model stops it from accessing console SDKs due to the requirement of NDAs and legal contracts. Here's how it explained this Godot sample project's focus: This is a source-only sample, not a product. It's MIT-licensed at the wrapper layer; the GDK and PlayFab dependencies still require their own installs and license acceptance, consistent with our other XBOX samples. There is no set update cadence for support or maintenance. We’ll watch the repo, monitor issues, and iterate where it makes sense, but this isn't a commercial release. That said, we’re excited to hear your feedback and see any community PRs, as we evolve this together. This is the first step in bringing Godot for XBOX on PC. We plan to evolve it over time based on what the community tells us is most valuable. This sample is built specifically for XBOX on PC. It doesn’t include support for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One. If you’re already building for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One, please talk with your XBOX representative. If not, you can get started by signing up here. Game developers can find the XBOX Godot Sample by heading to GitHub over here. Documentation on how to get started with Godot for building an Xbox PC project can be seen here.
