FEBRUARY 5–It took almost three days, but the first lawsuit has been filed in connection with Janet Jackson’s breast. A Tennessee woman yesterday filed a proposed class action lawsuit “on behalf of all Americans” who watched the Super Bowl halftime show and were somehow injured by Miss Jackson’s adorned nipple. In the below federal complaint, Terri Carlin, a 47-year-old Knoxville bank employee, contends that Jackson’s exposure and other “sexually explicit conduct” during halftime festivities caused viewers to “suffer outrage, anger, embarrassment and serious injury.”
I’m surprised that it took three whole days for some stupid idiot to file a class action lawsuit.
Serious injury? What? Did her husband sprain his ankle when he tried to rush out of his LazyBoy in order to get closer to the television to get a closer look?
She’s suing on behalf of “all Americans”. . . pardon me, but I don’t need any white trash, frivilous lawsuit filing, hag from Tennessee speaking on my behalf, thankyouverymuch.
Sounds like we’re very similar in this...

I was injured by watching this display…I’m just trying to decide what my injuries are…
This is my first chance to be a part of a class action suit and I’m hard pressed to claim an injury.
Having said all that, it was your typical MTV production: Shit.
An Open and Obvious hazard, thus I am not entitled to any renumeration. Neither is anyone else. Next time, just change the channel or avoid it all together.

Hey, now. I’m willing to let any hag to file a lawsuit for me. Just so long as she splits the winnings with every other living American.
That’s what you get for filing it for us. What an idiot.
