I remember watching it live on tv when it happened, and for the life of me all these years later I still have no fricking idea what it was they were TRYING to do. Like in their heads, if everything went right, like what was supposed to be the end result? Like did they expect everybody to cheer? Genuinely I'd love hear from somebody who helped set it up and orchestrate it just what in the world they actually were hoping to happen there
It was a couple of pop stars on stage doing sexy dancey stuff. They expected people to do what they always do, watch it and enjoy it and spend money. I really don’t understand your confusion here, are you from rural Afghanistan?
But that's the thing- it wasn't even designed to be sexy though. Like she had this weird tear-away bra that only tore away on one of her bra cups, and didn't actually show her whole boob- it just exposed her one weird nipple with this big crazy looking nipple piercing on it in the shape of the sun or something. Like it wasn't even sexy, it was just weird
Nah. It just proved how fake and gay the media is. Just find a couple of idiots or paid actors to give you soundbites about how outraged or happy they are and do a 'trusted and accurate' poll showing 80% of Americans hate or love whatever, and you're golden. It took a lot of anons until something like Gamergate, Covington, or Rittenhouse to realize how bad the media and journalism is.
>9 years old >watching with my dad >see this >wait for him to have some kind of reaction or say something >never did, possibly wasn't even paying attention
It was a nipple piercing in the shape of the sun, right? Nice symbolism there.
Keep in mind that when this hit, this was about three months into the Michael Jackson trial. Janet was being a good little sister by taking a lot of the heat off of her brother and bringing the attention onto her in a big way.
Go check out the post-performance interview with Justin. He's completely unapologetic and smiling about it, as if either nothing big happened and that he was oblivious or playing dumb or was completely in on it and pulled it off without a hitch and got the desired reaction they were looking for. And this was was immediate reaction. As immediate as it could have gotten in the days before social media in that it was talked on endless everywhere, as if seeing a nipple was a big deal like we haven't all sucked one.
The whole thing lead to the legendary Prince performance at the following years halftime show so it does have a happy ending.
As dumb as this one, it's one of the most important moments in human history.
Seriously. The creation of Youtube was thought up because based on dude's not being able to find this clip online, so they decided to fill that niche and created one of the more influential sites ever. Youtube then became what it is now, and defined how we share information and how we consume media.
Janet's nip-slip actually changed the course of society and culture. So surreal
I remember there were lots of different embedded video sites like megaupload, and a lot of direct hosting sites. Downloaded tons of kinos/albums/games/porn from livejournal and blogspot simply posting the links and popping up in google results. When the fat German was arrested, all of that disappeared fast. Funny enough it seems to be back with MegaLinks and the like.
>Janet Jackson is indirectly responsible for the creation of Youtube >Michael Jackson is responsible for completely shaping the industry and culture around music, dancing and entertainment >The Jackson 5 were the first black music artists that made it big in the United States in a predominantly white industry
Has there ever been a more impactful family?
I was in middle school when this happened. I was outside during halftime hanging out with other kids who came over for the Super Bowl with their families. I didn't know who Janet Jackson was when I heard about it. When I saw what she looked like, I didn't care anymore because I thought she was ugly.
Only in America showing a nipple would be the worst thing to ever happen.
Worse than a fricking attempted coup.
>Worse than a fricking attempted coup.
When did that happen?
>Worse than a fricking attempted coup.

>the hecking BLM CHAZzers were just trying to stop evil racist poleece!
0/10
>everyone calling it a “wardrobe malfunction” despite it being an obviously staged publicity stunt
no the weird thing is that justin timberlake apparently coined the term "wardrobe malfunction" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wardrobe_malfunction
thats wild, I would've thought for sure that goes back to the 70s or earlier
>DUDE why WOULDN'T she wear a big spiked piece of metal on her tit under her meticulously designed outfit on the day of her biggest performance??
That's because everything "live" has an 8 second delay now

that youd still be talking about it 34 years later
>just what in the world they actually were hoping to happen there
For everybody in the stadium and at home to start jerking off.

He was supposed to rip off the outer most part of her outfit to reveal a colored bra or some shit, instead he ripped them both off
Then why did she have a nipple ring?
this was so kino
my boomer was like "was that a titty???"
but I wasn't looking at the screen when it happened
i love how he looks like a piss filter FPS protag with the neanderthal like expression
"I accidentally tore off her bra on purpose. My bad"
>FEMALE NIPPLE LIVE ON TV
>NOOOO NOT THE NIPPLERINO PLS MR.FCC
the reaction really proved how gay americans are
also gta hot coffee mod

they're like that because the population is moronic and gay thoughever
>9 years old
>watching with my dad
>see this
>wait for him to have some kind of reaction or say something
>never did, possibly wasn't even paying attention
Same thing happened to me. Because nobody said anything I assumed it must have been something else.
i thought her nipple was covered with glitter or something
didnt even know it was a nipple ring on my trash TV

Porn is the reason why we went with VHS instead of betamax. coomers really do shape the world.
Remember dailymotion.com ? It was so superior to YouTube. It just wasn’t embedded on every web site.
I used that an metacafe because it had softcore porn
Megaupload was the breasts
I remember there were lots of different embedded video sites like megaupload, and a lot of direct hosting sites.

It set the world record for most searched moment in history, which was broken two years later after the murder of her brother
>Youtube then became what it is now, and defined how we share information and how we consume media.
like tv?
like radio?
like newpapers?
I don't miss it even a tiny bit
everyone at school was talking about it the next day on the bus. I was so glad I was able to witness it
I hated football season. I never watched it and it's all anyone talked about Monday morning
missed it cause i changed the channel when justin timberlake showed up
fml
The creator of YouTube literally said this moment was the reason why he created YouTube.
>Janet Jackson is indirectly responsible for the creation of Youtube
>Michael Jackson is responsible for completely shaping the industry and culture around music, dancing and entertainment
>The Jackson 5 were the first black music artists that made it big in the United States in a predominantly white industry
Has there ever been a more impactful family?
Unironically no,
I’m a Jlo in her green Versace dress kind of man. Always has been. Simple as that.
she doesn't even look good
I still don't understand why this was such a scandal. Americans are weird.
What's her last name genius? That's why
I was in middle school when this happened. I was outside during halftime hanging out with other kids who came over for the Super Bowl with their families. I didn't know who Janet Jackson was when I heard about it. When I saw what she looked like, I didn't care anymore because I thought she was ugly.
this, i thought it was kinda gross and I definitely liked girls by that point
>It was a total accident, she was in no way prepared with some nipple decoration to hide her perky nub
