Judge rules against Super Bowl viewer

[desdemona]

Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction during the Super Bowl halftime show may be a lot of things, but it's apparently not worth $5,000.

A judge didn't buy a Farmington lawyer's claim that CBS Television owner Viacom should pay him $5,000 for having to see Jackson's bare breast during the Feb. 1 show. Eric Stephenson had sued Viacom for false advertising in small-claims court.

Stephenson claimed he was led to believe this year's Super Bowl halftime show would be a family oriented, patriotic celebration.

I agree with the Judge.

This viewer was not in posession of all of her marbles

Or is just over sensative.

To take the trouble to actually go to court over the halftime show is just absurd. ;)

What gave him that idea? Most of the superbowl half time shows for the last decade have been pretty much similar themes (except for the wardrobe 'malfunction' that is).

Poor guy.

On a more serious note, I think parents might have at least a shot at a suit.

If the judge had decided otherwise then HE should pay it just for being stupid

It's a he? :smokin:

Damn, I read the article wrong. I thought it was a female that was suing.

So there is a man in this world who didn't want to see Janet's bare tit? :we don't get it:

Wow, that's a new one on me :D

Well, I really have/had no desire to see them.

Of course, i'm not suing though. Hell, I missed the halftime show alltogether, mainly because it sucks year after year.

and it was lousy again this past yr. , great game though, but that was lost in all this jazz about the halftime.
