As we didn’t want Arlo to inadvertently see a nipple, we put him to bed before halftime. When I woke him up this morning and told him that the Broncos had won, this was his response… I think a lot of people probably had the exact same thought. Thankfully, though, he didn’t have any money on the game… at least as far as I know.
Speaking of Janet Jackson’t exposed nipple and the controversy it generated in 2004, I’m wondering what kind of academic research may have been done to determine the adverse effect it had on the children in the viewing audience that evening. Do we know, for instance, if there was a spike in early sexual activity among young people that can be attributed to Jackson’s halftime “wardrobe malfunction”? Are there thousands of “nipple babies” out there that we don’t talk about… children born to kids who viewed Jackson’s nipple for that split second and then immediately became sexually active?

More children were harmed by watching Cold Play last night than by watching Janet Jason’s nipple 12 years ago.
You’ll want to search “Nearly Naked Breast Disorder.”

In all seriousness, over half a million people complained about Jackson’t nipple, saying that permanent damage could have been done to children.
“Just days after the Super Bowl, it’s reported that over 200,000 viewers had contacted the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to complain about Jackson’s performance. Court documents later revealed that over 540,000 people filed complaints with the FCC about the incident, although that number was inflated by conservative and watchdog groups mass-calling the commission. FCC Chairman Michael Powell calls Jackson’s nip slip “a classless, crass, and deplorable stunt” and promises to take further action.”

I don’t know about kicking faces off, but Aqib Talib nearly pulled Corey Brown’s face off.
US children are often exposed to nipples within hours of being born. These are end times I tell you. End times. I keep yelling about and nobody listens.
He should have woken up and said “Peyton Manning can eat shit.”
