Net search for Jackson’s breast is biggest ever
Reuters News Service
NEW YORK - A flash of singer Janet Jackson’s right breast during a halftime Super Bowl performance has become the most-searched image in Internet history, online companies said today.
Jackson’s unscripted flash of flesh during Sunday’s Super Bowl halftime send Internet surfers seeking pictures of the snafu in greater numbers over a 24 hour period than searches for “September 11” or Madonna’s kiss with Britney Spears.
Jackson’s Web popularity rocketed to the top of the charts on Web portals owned by Terra Lycos and Yahoo Inc. moments after the shocking finale to the Super Bowl halftime show Sunday.
“The now infamous ‘wardrobe malfunction’ … has proved to be the most-searched event in the history of the Internet,” said Aaron Schatz, who compiles a daily list of top search phrases for Lycos.
Singer Justin Timberlake, at the end of a duet with Jackson, tore off part of her black leather bustier, exposing one bare breast. The incident prompted a federal probe into indecency on television.
On Monday, Jackson received 60 times as many searches than perennial chart topper, the “Paris Hilton sex tape,” and 80 times as many as singer Britney Spears.
By today Jackson broke records on Yahoo, accounting for nearly 20 percent of all terms searched on the site. The next closest on the list was the Super Bowl, garnering 2.7 percent.
hehe, yeah, I saw that performance where justin “ripped her clothes off”. I think it’s funny. Completely unexpected! I hope it was planned, that makes it even better!
Also, nice looking breast you’ve got there, Janet!
*Originally posted by eilsoe * it wasn’t a bare breast, it had a star covering the nipple :sigh:
It wasnt really covering the nipple so much as it was around the nipple. Its more like a ring, open in the middle with starburts radiating from that (and it looks like it was held on by a stud going through the nipple). A lot of the nipple is still pretty exposed.
It happened so fast though. I was basically looking at the tv when it happend and didnt see it then.

Thats because no one likes war but 1/2 the world likes boobies (and the other half aren’t afraid to complain about them)
Yes, this event is yet another smokescreen to distract us from the more important issues that were all sick of discussing…
On a side note: Im so sick of hearing about Bennifer that i could puke blood!! (nod to bill hicks) I could give two turds about what those two slimy snobs are up to… Their relationship was an obvious media ploy, and when it was recently reported that they were breaking up, i thought i wouldn’t have to hear about them anymore… No!!! now i get to hear, 'Why did they break up," “Are they getting back together??”

I just can’t believe people are actually suprised this sort of thing happened, the show was produced by MTV for god sake. And in case you haven’t noticed, MTV’s bread and butter is shameful grabs at publicity. Except for this post I have done my duty and ignored the whole thing. Furthermore, just don’t watch MTV and they will go out of business. Do not buy CD’s and the music companies that sponsor this garbage will wither away. Viva la revolution! Long live P2P!
