You don't have to admit you wanna play.

aruanAah, nothing like catching a misconjugated verb on Page One to justify a girl's existence.
I mean. Nevermind.
Big props to my friendslist. Y'all were faster with the photos than the AP, and at one point the entire office was gathered around my computer, scrolling through them and laughing our fool heads off.
As to whether or not it was an accident, well.
-That nipple ring was either a surprise for some backstage shenanigans or put there because the stunt was planned, which is what the Drudge Report alleges (that the stunt was planned, not the motives of Janet's nipple ring.)
-I'd submit Justin's expression of "Whoa" (as stolen from Keanu Reeves) as my second point, but he's proven himself to be an admirable thespian, so it in and of itself proves nothing (that and he could've been as surprised by the nipple ring as the rest of us, regardless of whether or not the stunt was planned.)
-Janet's expression could be genuine surprise. Mind, this is my singular point solidly supporting that it was all an accident.
-However, Justin very deliberately grabbed and ripped on better have you naked by the end of this song, which in and of itself is a pretty clear cue. Additionally, given the quote from Janet's choreographer ("some shocking moments"), I find this to be the empirical key that this was all staged.
Seriously though, what else was he supposed to grab? Nothing that wouldn't have made her even more indecent. What was supposed to happen, if not bodice ripping?
But at the end of the day, it was all worth this statement, allegedly by Justin, but at best written on his behalf:
"I am sorry that anyone was offended by the wardrobe malfunction during the halftime performance of the Super Bowl," Timberlake said in a statement. "It was not intentional and is regrettable."
And his face in my new favorite picture:
To think I was going to write off today. Thanks, Justin, Janet's right breast, MTV, and all the pervy honchos at CBS headquarters who are busy calling their lawyers to nullify their signatures on the deal faster than Britney's marriage as we speak.
[ETA: Okay, finally got to see the footage, and all I have to say is: Ahahahahaha! *wipes a tear, picks self off the floor* Ahahaha! I'm sorry, yo, but that's situational comedy at its finest. Yeah, okay, I'll call it an accident on Janet's expression alone. Priceless. Best ending ever. I've got nothing to add, so with that, I bid you all goodnight.]
Bwah!
