People lost their minds over ONE titty being showed live on air.
If I remember correctly she even had a pasty or like a piece of jewelry over the nip.
It was a pasty with a nip-hole so you'd think it wasn't as naughty until you looked closer. The nipple is a very steep cliff with usians -- you can show sideboob and underboob all you want and only the 700 club will get offended but nipple itself causes a bipartisan meltdown.
And then they blamed Janet Jackson and blacklisted her.
I never watched the video before but like huh justin Timberlake literally rips her top off and it's somehow janet Jackson's fault? Good job america
I remember thinking "why is everyone pretending this was an accident, when it was clearly on purpose"
This was a big deal for us because my dad had just bought a "TiVo" like a month before, so we could watch and replay this in real time like some magic space wizards.
Fun fact, Youtube was specifically created because its founders couldn't find this video anywhere else online.

The only time in my life I intentionally watched the Superbowl as a person who doesn't sports and this happened.
I'm sorry everybody, it was my fault.
