| DUE TO LINGERIE BOWL’S EXTENSIVE NATIONAL ATTENTION LEADING UP TO
SUPER BOWL XXXVIII, MANY MEDIA OUTLETS REPORTED THAT THE NFL, MTV AND CBS PURPOSELY STAGED THE JANET JACKSON INCIDENT TO COMPETE WITH THE LINGERIE BOWL. |
| “WHO KNEW THE LENGTHS THE NFL WOULD GO TO SABOTAGE THE LINGERIE BOWL” |
 |
- TJ SIMERS, FEB. 2, 2004 |
|
| “THIS ‘SPONTANEITY’ WAS A CAREFULLY EXECUTED MOVE TO COMBAT THE DRAW AWAY FROM THE ATTRACTION OF PEOPLE CHANGING THE CHANNEL IN FAVOR OF THE LINGERIE BOWL, WHICH ITSELF GENERATED ENOUGH INTEREST TO THREATEN THE VIEWERSHIP OF THE MOST WATCHED SHOW IN TELEVISION” |
 |
- STUART CROSS, FEB. 3, 2004 |
|
| “THE UNMASKING OF MS. JACKSON’S BOOB MAY HAVE BEEN A CLEVER PLOY BY CBS TO COMPETE WITH PAY-PER-VIEW’S HALFTIME PROGRAMMING, THE LINGERIE BOWL” |
 |
- MARK HARRISON, FEB. 3, 2004 |
|
| “THE NUMBER ENDED WITH TIMBERLAKE RIPPING JACKSON’S COSTUME TO REVEAL HER RIGHT BREAST, ADORNED WITH ONLY A SILVER PASTIE. WHETHER THIS WAS INTENDED TO COMPETE WITH THE PAY-PER-VIEW LINGERIE BOWL, ONLY MTV CAN SAY.” |
 |
- DAVE KRIEGER, FEB. 2, 2004 |
|
| “THE NFL BURNED BECAUSE IT CONSCIOUSLY DECIDED TO COMPETE WITH PAY-PER-VIEW’S LINGERIE BOWL BY ALIGNING WITH THE ROGUISH MTV.” |
 |
- MIKE IMREM, FEB. 3, 2004 |
|
| “WHAT THE NFL DID WAS FIGHT SALACIOUSNESS WITH SALACIOUSNESS” |
