Hi!

I didn't watch the Super Bowl. Apparently the game was pretty exciting—there was some real competition in it, unlike in many past years. I didn't see the half-time show in which Janet Jackson's breast was bared. I didn't see Justin Timberlake's look for the cameras (my guess: a sophomoric 'knowing' smirk), or hear his "wardrobe malfunction" cover-up (as it were) comment.

But I did read this article by columnist Mark Morford in today's SFGate (the San Francisco Chronicle's on-line site). It's worth reading even if you don't know what the Super Bowl is. (Though if you don't know what it is, please tell me the secret of your existence!)

Hi!

Thanks! That is a fun set of pictures. I agree, she looks a bit surprised. And at least some of the news backs up your assertion: I remember that one of them quoted Justin as saying that the red bra was supposed to stay in place....

So, like...is the SuperBowl that pesky thing that happens between all those cool commercials? It really disturbes me when such fine marketing is interrupted by heathenistic violent games.

Actually, I was pretty disappointed in the commercials. It is the ENTIRE reason that I watch the game (I turn the sound down during the game and up during the breaks.) I don't think anything this year had the brilliance of last year's Office Linebacker commercials.

It surprised me, because the order of interest ended up being: boob, game, commercials. :)

Heh. This year, I didn't even watch the commercials. Usually, I find them quite fascinating. Remember the Budweiser ad with the guy in a costume of a clown walking on it's hands? Hysterical.

I don't know why everyone is so interested in the boob. I mean, it seems to me that I recall a picture of Janet in a wet t-shirt, so really it's been seen before and is probably available on the Internet.

Try not living in the northern half of the western hemisphere; the only reason I remember there's a Superbowl is that people keep posting how they didn't watch it! :)
