What a Creep
The Super Bowl’s Big Wardrobe Malfunction
Season 28, Episode 4

It was the wardrobe malfunction seen around the world. We’re going to talk about the infamous 2004 Super Bowl Halftime Show. The entire country lost their collective mind because they got a glimpse of Janet Jackson’s boob for less than a second during what they like to pretend is a family-friendly cultural event. In reality, we’re watching a brutal sport in which men are getting concussions for our entertainment, sandwiched in between commercials for booze and boner pills.

Was it a planned stunt? Was it an accident? Does it really matter? Some people just used it as an opportunity to shit on Janet Jackson 24/7, and others used it as an opportunity to get on their soapbox to disingenuously ask, “Won’t someone think of the children.”
