WEEKLY WHINE

Can they air that?

So how about that halftime show?

Well, we always knew we could count on Janet Jackson for our humour needs. But we weren't expecting something that ripe. What's next? That's a question that can only be addressed by our users. So follow your nose to the GoobNet Mailbox, and then cover it. [Your nose, not the mailbox.]

Hee hee hee! That was great, wasn't it? - Nigel Andrews, Libreville, Gabon

Not really. I mean, she had that nipple shield, so it's not like we would have seen anything.

Hee hee hee! We saw a famous person's titties! - Doug Pang, Guangzhou, China

Okay, let's review this again. There was no nipple visibility. No areolae. This isn't nudity, people. This isn't even flashing. Maybe it's the very beginnings of a striptease, but no more. Freaking grow up already.

If you throw in Shaq's bleepage, that was a great weekend for the FCC. - Timothy Redlege, Twentynine Palms, CA, USA

Yeah, Shaq. Good one, [bleep]head.

We're on live. - Timothy Redlege, Twentynine Palms, CA, USA

I don't give a [bleep].

You really think all this sudden halftime conservatism is going to last? - Clarence Herenson, Sunrise, FL, USA

We're just waiting for the "hula malfunction" during the halftime show at the Pro Bowl tonight.

I didn't think MTV could top the Madonna-Britney-Christina smoochy thing, but they did. Nudity's great, isn't it? - Lucille Pemgrout, Lisui, China

What did we just get through saying? Nudity is great - there's no denying that - but that wasn't it, okay?

You know, I grew up on a topless beach, and I have to say, I don't understand. Why would anyone wear a nipple shield to begin with? - Nailé McDauf, Nantes, France

Maybe her nipple is her Achilles's heel.

Woo! Janet Jackson showing her boobs! - Clark Ruffian, Santa Fe, NM, USA

Shut up.
