The Real Crime of It All

Biddlegal I agree with you on the Jackson family. I have never purchased any Jackson music and probably won't.

As far as her boob popping out.....whooptie-doo! My goodness! I remember in a freshmen history class our teacher Miss Lindsay telling us how back in the victorian times when women wore those boosteea's(sp) with the lowcut dresses. That it wasn't uncommon for a lady's boob to pop out when she bent over. We of coarse were all shocked. Comments were made 'how embarrassing that must have been' and a student asked 'what did she do?'. Miss Lindsay said it wasn't that big of a deal. The lady would just put them back in and go on with what she was doing.

Same thing happened to me when I was 18 and sunbathing at the beach in Irish Hills. I was lying on the towel with my girlfriends. I'd reached up to turn the radio station and forgotten I had my bikini top straps down so I wouldn't get any tan lines. My boob moved and it wasn't till a man walked by and said ''Miss your tit is showing'' did I know it. I covered it back up and remembered something I recently read in a magazine about what you should do in that situation. Scream in embarrassment and run and hide. Which would only draw more attention to the situation. Or not do anything at all and act casual as usual. It's only a big deal when someone or EVERYBODY makes it a big deal.

I think the Superbowl itself is more of a crime. The millions and millions and millions of dollars spent on a simple football game. Not to mention all the attention and money that so many people spend on this game that they really have nothing to do with. They don't know the players, it isn't even their home team.

I just think it can be put to better use.

I agree with you

I agree with all of your statements but one. Lead pottery and plumbing is what really killed of the Roman Empire.

Christine...

I would agree with you if her breast had simply ''popped out'' accidentally.
The MAIN problem that I have is that we showed a man reach over and rip off a womans clothing for the express purpose of exposing her. It's sends boys a message that it's OK to rip off a girls shirt and it tellsd young girls that it's acceptable if it happens to her.
''Violence+Sexuality=OK''....The majority of Jackson and Timberlake fans are preteen/teens. Not exactly a good message to convey. We already hear on the news stories of 13 year old girls being assaulted on school buses etc.
ENOUGH.

Hi Bearmom. Did you see it happen? I watched it but I had a slightly different impression. I was in the bedroom putting laundry away , turned on the tv to catch the weather channel and caught the halftime performance while flipping through. I saw it happen, but as I said I was busy too, I may have not been looking right at the moment he ripped it off. I saw them dancing around bumping and grinding and I saw his hand moving across the front of her, but I thought as his hand moved across her breast area part of her outfit popped open.

There's no doubt in my mind it was not an accident even though they are claiming it was. I didn't realize he actually grabbed it and ripped it off her. That makes a huge difference to me. If she doesn't mind her top being ripped off I figure that's her business, but doing in public with the type of audience that was watching it, then becomes everybody's business.

Being topless in public and having your top ripped off in public are two different things. The second does equal violence.
