Janet Jackson
i'm absolutely amazed at the interest the breast flashing has generated around the world, but more at the reactions of the yanks. are they really so backward that the sight of an almost bare breast can send a whole nation into a state of apoplexy?

I'm sure over here would treat such an incident in the lightest posibble manner. I'd forgotten about the Judy incident, not once did anybody call for here to be sacked or that its was a serious case of indecency. Can't see a page three bird in the wall street journal either.
rinkytink had the right idea, it was because there is no nudity shown on broadcast / public television in the USA, one would have to subscribe to cable TV in order to see any. Also, even very young children watch the Super Bowl, and parents like to have a say about when their children will first be exposed to such visuals as nudity, so that they can give a lesson about morals at the same time. It upset people mostly because there was no warning that the incident was coming, for those who may have wished not to see it. It wasn't an accident, like accidentally falling out of a dress, it was secretly planned. And, there isn't actual sex on American broadcast / public TV, only the actions leading up to it, and then the rest is edited / cut out. You can only see unedited R-rated movies on cable TV.
as an American, I too was flabergasted over the brohaha. I dont understand why its okay to allow your children to watch COPS but something with the human body is wrong? Go figure. I am not the only one confused about it. Its okay to have Victoria Secret commericals aire that are Rated XXX but three seconds of breast is a national scandal??
even most americans cant explain it.
