LaToilet looks human ? Surely you jest.

She looks about as human as a bug-eyed malnourished fetus in makeup. Which is to say she looks more human than she used to.

Woman sues over Janet Jackon's breast
Fri Feb 6, 1:28 PM ET


CHICAGO (Reuters) - A Tennessee woman has filed a class action suit against Janet Jackson and others involved in her breast-baring Super Bowl halftime show, saying millions of people are owed monetary damages for exposure to lewd conduct.

Slideshow: Janet Jackson Halftime Show Causes Stir




The suit, filed earlier this week in federal court in Knoxville, Tennessee, also names pop star Justin Timberlake, who performed with Jackson, CBS Broadcasting, show producer MTV Networks Enterprises, and the parent of those two companies, Viacom.


The action seeks a court order to prevent anything like last Sunday's stunt from being repeated on U.S. network television prior to 10 p.m. local time when children might be watching.


No dollar figure for damages is mentioned in the suit, but it estimates that over 80 million U.S. viewers might be due compensation. CBS has said the game drew an average viewership of just under 89.6 million people. Advertising during the game sold for more than $2 million (1.1 million pounds) a spot.


The suit states that the ultimate compensatory damage figure, should a jury decide to grant damages, should be no higher than what the parties being sued made out of participating in and airing the Super Bowl and its halftime show.


If additional punitive damages are granted, it adds, they should be no higher than the "gross annual revenues of each defendant for the last three years..."


Those figures would probably run into the billions of dollars, according to the Smoking Gun, a Web site that first published the court papers.


During the halftime show Timberlake tore off half of Jackson's black leather bustier, exposing her right breast, while the two were singing a duet.


Jackson took the blame but said "it was not my intention that it go as far as it did."


CBS has already said it would use an "enhanced delay" on its February 8 broadcast of music's Grammy Awards so it can censor both audio and video as needed, and ABC also said it will use a delay on its February 29 broadcast of the Academy Awards (news - web sites).


The suit says the defendants knew the broadcast would be watched by millions of families with children but they "included in the halftime show sexually explicit acts solely designed to garner publicity and ultimately to increase profits for themselves. The suit mentions the breast exposure but also says the show in general contained "other lewd and sexually explicit conduct."


The law firm handling the suit issued a statement on Friday saying that neither the woman who filed it, Terri Carlin, nor her attorney, Wayne Ritchie, would comment. "The issue here is accountability and not more publicity," it said.

Any lawyer who takes on this case should be smacked in the head repeatedly with blunt objects and then forced to listen to Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake's songs on repeat while having their nipples squashed into a metal sun. Seriously. This? Is ridiculous.

That must be why the rest of us need to keep sunglasses on top of our heads ALL the time. Cover up!

BTW, nice sig quote, but I think calling them "chicks" gives them too much credit. How about "yogurgeeks"?

See, I think that if she wanted to expose herself, she should have just walked on already bare-breasted. The exposure doesn't bother me. The fact he pulled it off is what's troubling, only because it was very clearly the depiction of an aggressive act.

Of course, the violence of that action pales in comparison to the violence that happens on the field. And did I mention the commercials?

We are a tasteless culture.

and...to quote an American who fights his own culture:
