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 like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.
    • I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣
    • Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.
    • This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
