Boobs

You know what I like best about the Janet Jackson boob story? It gives me an excuse to type the word "boob."

(Heheh. "Boob." Heh.)

More at Kelley's boob discussion. Also Rosemary's boob discussion. Also Erica's boob discussion. Also Susan's boob discussion.

(Heh. "Boob discussions." Heheh.)

Do women like looking at other women's boobs? I've come to think that most of them do. I find this fascinating.

(Okay, one more time and I'm done: "boobs!" Heheh.)

* Update * Andrew thinks that if only more Americans were breast-fed, we wouldn't be so obsessed with boobs. But Andrew, I like being obsessed with boobs.

Heh. Boobs. Heheh.

I just want to say a couple of things. For someone with the means, the motive and a good location - what the hell is the deal with the droopy boobie?

Janet is getting older and a lift isn't a bad thing, I'm just sayin'.

I don't know what's the big deal about boobs. After all, Rosalynn Carter used to have three, including one for a brother-in-law. <rimshot>

Heh. Boobies!

Whoa! I'm really getting a Dean-lanche from this link! I'm afraid some folks are going to be terribly disapponted. ;-)

I missed the boob. But not because I wasn't watching the show. I had had enough with Nellie jerking off while he sand, and Justin slapping Jackson's butt. Besides which, Timberlake's song was totally inappropriate for children. My nine year old was in the room working on the computer, and had sat down to watch. I mumbled something like, "Can't even watch the SuperBowl anymore," and turned off the channel before Jackson exposed herself.

Its difficult to believe this wasn't planned, and it really pisses me off. Whatever happened to simple human consideration. If MTV, CBS, and the NFL want to do this, then why can't they do it without me? Unbelievable. If I want porn, I know where to get it. The Superbowl is not the place.

This stunt is beyond lowbrow. I like to call it an example of "mono-brow" culture.

Oh, and "boob." Yeah, that is fun to say.

What I like about it is that it helps prove my long standing thesis that all celebrities are in fact prostitutes.

I was breast fed, and I still like boobs, I like 'em a LOT.

But not on nationwide television.

The NFL really has little or nothing do with the halftime show, anymore than they do with the commercials. That's the networks domain.

As for the "music", this trash isn't music, it's not even art, it's just trash. Which is not to say that some rap and hiphop can't be both music and art, and GOOD, but most of it is trash.

I'd be concerned about sounding like an old fart if it weren't for the fact that I AM an old fart.

Looked kind of silicone to me....fake. Hey Janet, if it's not real...keep it in your shirt.

You're too funny Dean. Got Boobs!?! Like, Drink Milk!

Nobody mentioned the guy singing that had the flag like thing hanging over his t-shirt. I did not like that waving across him in that wierd way. Maybe it is just the 'ole lady here.

I think what Dean's World needs is pictures of the "boobs" that actually post regularly to his site. I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm dying to see Dean's tits!

Disgusted,

Don't worry about missing the boob, you'll see her and her brother as his trial goes on.

You know, there is a thing called "informed consent." What really chaps my behind is those who whine about censorship of creative freedom, and then pull stunts like this. If CBS really, really wanted to do this, then let us know ahead of time. Then we can all turn the channel off.

But surprising us like they did is extremely rude, not to mention the entire halftime display was revolting. In the past, my daughters and wife, though not at all interested in football, would watch the halftime show. Thank goodness they were busy this year. Also, thank goodness I did not have to be embarassed in my own home showing this crap at a SB party. I didn't have one this year. And thank goodness I was disgusted enough with the croth-grabbing, pelvis-grinding, butt-slapping display of juvenile sexuality that I turned the channel before Jackson and Timberlake decided to "get naked by the end of this song."

dowingba,

Your point is well taken. Can you name me one, just one, moderately well known female movie star that has not done a nude scene, and/or played a prostitute on screen. Perhaps there is a reason actresses were considered little more than whores in the 16th century. Today's versions do nothing to dispel the notion.

MAKE AN OFFER! MAKE AN OFFER! The highest bidder will see Dean's boobs.

Well, they are baby pictures, but WILL SALE TO HIGHEST BIDDER!

Now...THAT'S A GOOD THING!

Drudge has the pic.

Dear Disgusted,

Pornography?!? Did they show penetration? Man, I missed that! Grow up, we all sucked on tits at one point or another in our lives, seeing them is nothing. I can't believe we are giving this much attention to a lip-synching pop has-been. Could it be that Janet has a new CD coming out? Pornography? You are cracking ME up!

Posted by Tim the Soldier on February 02, 2004 at 6:23 PM


Mother in Law,

Babies don't have boobs, babies are boobs. Cute, cuddly little boobs, but boobs.

(Aint got the sense God gave kumquats.)

Tim the Soldier:
"I think what Dean's World needs is pictures of the "boobs" that actually post regularly to his site."

You won't get any pictures of this boob! I don't want women to see how bad I look!

"I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm dying to see Dean's tits!"

I'd rather see Tim's eels.

I saw that picture on drudge. Good boob. Boobs. Tits. Breasts. Women who like to look at each others' breasts.
I love it. But I'm more of a leg man. Legs are sexier to me. Thighs. Calves.
And, I'm more deviated still: Her face. Her eyes, eyebrows. Her lips, teeth, tongue, voice. Her nose. Her hair, neck, shoulders. All of that. That is what I worship above all. Up With Beauty!



I continue to believe that Jackson's costume was fragile--anything made of cheap stuff leather and rivits can come apart easily--and that thing on her boob is obviously a piercing ornament, which is common among people who have multiple piercings to wear under their clothes.

There is no reason to get all that upset by this.

It's only a boob after all. (Boob. Heheh.)

Posted by Dean Esmay on February 02, 2004 at 7:47 PM


What gets me is everyone going on about the fact that she's wearing a "pastie". Pastie? I don't think that's a pastie, it looks more like a piercing to me. You can see nipple thru the center, and there are projections on the side, like the barbel that goes thru *shudder* Yeppers, I'm spending waaaaayyy to much time looking at this, think I'll go lie down now.
*no, I do not have anything against body jewelry, have one myself and nunya where it is :Þ *

You sound like beavis and that is scary

Posted by ash on February 02, 2004 at 8:18 PM


Janet is just following my lead. (Warning: shot of boobies included.)

Here is a copy of the email I sent MTV and CBS.

"I am incensed at the crude and rude spectacle that was the Superbowl halftime show. In the past, while my wife and two daughters would not watch the game, they would watch the show at halftime. Fortunately, this year they were working on a school project.

Nevertheless, my youngest daughter, 9 years old, looked up to watch the show. After watching Nellie pull on his crotch about a couple of dozen times, and hearing the explicit lyrics, I muted the TV. Then watching Timberlake stalk Jackson around the stage like she was some bitch in heat, including feeling her up, grinding hips and slapping her butt, I mumbled something like, "Can't even watch the Superbowl anymore" and turned off the channel just moments before Jackson, Timberlake, et al, assaulted us even further.

Unfortunately my teenage son, at a church-sponsored Superbowl party, for God's sake, was exposed to this blatant display of public rudeness. I am sick of hearing artistic types whine about artistic freedom, and then pull a obviously purposeful stunt like this. That entire show was utterly disgusting.

If I want to watch Porn, I know where to get it. The Superbowl is not the place. What ever happened to simple human consideration for one another? I wonder what all those suddenly proclaiming this is "No big deal" would think of a halftime evangelistic crusade put on in the name of religious freedom of expression. Do you think all the supposed civil rights advocates would be defending that display? I didn't think so.

Go ahead and push the envelope. But don't do it on my time. There is a thing called "informed consent." I was neither informed, nor did I consent to exposing my children, and the teenagers in my church to this blatant display of juvenile sexuality.

And also don't give me any crap about I have the right to change the channel. As a matter of fact, I did change the channel. But not until after I was visually and morally assaulted. There is no civil right to "surprise" me and my family with your utter contempt for the values of American families.

Maybe this is "no big deal" among music industry types. But that is why I have blocked access to MTV, VH1 and other channels on my TV. What you did was simply rude. I hope the FCC hits you with a $50 million fine. Maybe then you idiots will get the message that it is NOT ok to impose your vulgarity on the unsuspecting American public."

Be sure to sign the petition: Let Janet and Justin perform at the Grammy's: "Let Justin and Janet - America's top and beloved Superstars - express themselves at the upcoming Grammy Awards free of hindrance, delay, or other restriction!"
