Whuh? There was Janet Jackson nipplage during the halftime show and I missed it? God damnit, I always miss that stuff.

That little accident's got to be a huge bummer for Ms. Jackson (if you're nasty). Oh wait, turns out that little nipple slippage was as "accidental" as Madonna's kiss with Skank #1 & Skank #2.

You know, during the halftime show I was once again pondering the lameness of both the Halftime Show and a culture in which major pop stars think it's cool to do the Superbowl Halftime Show. Then I was thinking about what I would want out a Halftime show. Maybe some band going all Who-like and smashing everything in sight. Maybe a little impromptu Zeppelin blooze jam or Neil Young feedback symphony. And then I thought, you know, what would probably be the most incredibly controversial, balls-out, stick it to the man thing to do? Besides not doing it? Put up a huge banner or wear a t-shirt with the slogan "Bush Lied" or just a plain old "Bush Sucks." Get all Rage Against the Machine with it. Imagine the shit hitting the fan then.

But no.

Instead we had a major, over-the-hill female singer, one who used to be fairly iconic, resorting to showing off her (probably) fake breasts, all to "shock" the audience and get talked about. Naughty little Jackson. Quelle shocking. And only MTV would try and make their halftime show have some sort of "Rock the Vote" type theme thing telling kids to get involved and get active, then followed it by a halftime show featuring such socially conscious songs as "It's Getting Hot in Here," "BawatabababawhateverthefuckI'm called" and "Mo Money (Mo Problems)" (sung by the always socially consciously P. Diddy wearing some super-expensive faux-fur jacket no less). And you gotta love too that the "Socially Conscious" singer did indeed sing her one socially conscious song (with such controversial statements as "Say No to Illiteracy" or "Say No To Racism!), then, quickly changed it to have a duet of the incredibly political "Rock Your Body." And then, "Socially Conscious" star, to complete above theme, gets "controversial" by showing off her breast, all managed by the very-same Youth Related Network that tried to have it's theme as being socially conscious.

Oh yeah, and supposedly Bono wanted to play the halftime show to raise awareness of AIDS but got nixed by the Superbowl People. So AIDS no, but breasts yes.

God, where's Nirvana when you really need them?
