Peekaboo sets off firestorm

The exposure of Janet Jackson8217;s breast during the Super Bowl halftime show in Houston on Sunday brought hand-wringing from cultural critics, an explanation by Jackson8217;s co-performer, outrage from regulators and apologies from the two network siblings 8212; MTV and CBS 8212; responsible for the broadcast. And on Monday, Jackson confessed that she, without the knowledge of the producers, had cooked up the stunt after final rehearsals. The episode not only became the newest platform for Americans to decry the increasing sexualising of media. It also raised more calls for FCC to require some live events with provocative performers to air with a delay of several seconds to edit out objectionable material. 8212; LAT-WP
