More Janet Jackson fallout: Nervous NBC edits 'ER' breast shot

Nervous NBC edits 'ER' breast shot

The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES, California -- Janet Jackson's revealing Super Bowl halftime moment has created fallout for "ER," with NBC removing a glimpse of an elderly patient's breast in Thursday's episode.

The network said Wednesday it had "unfortunately concluded that the atmosphere created by this week's events has made it too difficult for many of our affiliates to air this shot."

NBC's decision was criticized by John Wells, the executive producer of the popular and long-running medical drama, who said such "affiliate overreactions" have a "chilling effect" on dramatic integrity.

In a statement, Wells called the Jackson incident at last Sunday's Super Bowl "inappropriate and deplorable on a broadcast intended for viewers of all ages."

But "the incidental exposure of an elderly woman's breast in the context of a medical trauma is not comparable," he said.

Viewers advised of a show's adult content are capable of "making the distinction and adjusting their viewing habits accordingly," he said.

"This type of network behavior is one of the primary reasons that so many of today's producers and viewers are increasingly turning to HBO and other cable outlets that do not censor responsible storytelling," Wells said.

In its statement, NBC agreed that the scene, in which an 80-year-old woman receives emergency treatment, is "appropriate and in context" and noted it would have aired late in the evening, after 10:30 p.m. EST.

But the network said it couldn't ignore the furor that followed a musical number in which Justin Timberlake pulled off part of Jackson's costume, exposing her breast to 89 million viewers.

After consulting with its affiliate board, the network asked the producers of "ER" to remove the nudity.

The one-second nudity provoked complaints from viewers and an investigation by the Federal Communications Commission which, potentially, could expose CBS and its affiliates to millions of dollars in fines.

Jackson took responsibility, saying it was a surprise stunt that went too far.

CBS, which is airing Sunday's Grammy Awards, said it would implement a video delay system to avoid similar problems.

Exactly. I think the viewers of America can distinguish the more appropriate situation between the Superbowl vs. ER. Come on now.. they were talking about it on The View this morning. It's absolutely ridiculous.

The Grammy Awards will be running on a five second delay, and it looks like the Oscars might be too.

In case one of those Best Supporting Actor nominees gets a bit randy.

and i hate america, (go ahead and bash me again for 279 pages but i do and kiss my ass if you wont accept it) i wouldnt want to live anywhere else though so maybe i should just die so i wont have to be anywhere. :cow: <-- he says moo

I think everyone is over-reacting over Janet Jacksons flash. It was a small flash of her breast, over here in the UK they show the clip in a constant loop! Everyone acts really shocked, but all these adults are probably doing this to look responsible parents. They'll learn about sex anyway!

I think it's because you can't really make United States into anything like...United Statians or United Staters...ugh, I don't ****ing know. That's why. :D

Well I find it offensive that my Iraqi and Israeli friends are denied into the US, at the Vermont border constantly...with no reason at all. It pisses me off--BIG TIME that a country can do that with NO EXPLAINATION at all. Now why doesn't that happen in the European Union? By the way--that happened to me 5 times last year.

She can love her country until the cows come home. I just happen to love mine too, and I take offense to the constant putdowns, which pale in comparison to the few anti-Canada remarks I've read.

I happen to think, based on her numerous posts, that she does indeed hate the U.S.

Like I said, I don't think Jenya hates the United States. I just think she had a bad experience here ten years ago, which (understandably) left a bad taste in her mouth. She's also pointing out some of the freedoms she has in Canada that we don't have here.

The way you concluded by yourself what he might be implying, reveals that you in fact aren't that naïve and in fact do realize what you are, you just wanted him to repeat it.

You hate America, and I hate reading about it. You may have your little circle of buddies here to back up your 'I hate America' stance, but take it from me, it infuriates others.

So how come I can travel to seven seperate countries in November 2003. France, Germany, Poland, Belarus, Austria, Switzerland, Ukraine, and finally Russia- with NO PROBLEMS? But when I try to enter the US more than four times, in the span of 12 months from Québec, they give me problems?

Because America sucks. There, I saved you the trouble.

Like I said, you don't just trash the U.S. over just this. A quick read of your prior posts, and it's hard to find a page where you don't slam the U.S.

That must have been humiliating, Jenya. But don't base your opinion of an entire country on the actions of some ***hole immigration officials. :(

Your experience is unfortunate, but the members here at SO didn't do it to you. We treat you with respect, and it would be nice if you toned down your U.S. bashing. It shows a lack of respect for the majority here who don't want to hear it.

[vienna waits]

Everything is all about Sarah. If you're not happy about something, you feel the need to let everyone know. I find it hilarious that you now want to move to Canada knowing nothing about it except what Jenya has told you. Way to jump on the band wagon... I thought you were a nonconformist?

[vienna waits]

By the way, how in the world is it a good thing that Canada has sex clubs?!? That's disgusting. STDs for all.

Nervous NBC edits 'ER' breast shot

The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES, California -- Janet Jackson's revealing Super Bowl halftime moment has created fallout for "ER," with NBC removing a glimpse of an elderly patient's breast in Thursday's episode.

The network said Wednesday it had "unfortunately concluded that the atmosphere created by this week's events has made it too difficult for many of our affiliates to air this shot."

NBC's decision was criticized by John Wells, the executive producer of the popular and long-running medical drama, who said such "affiliate overreactions" have a "chilling effect" on dramatic integrity.

In a statement, Wells called the Jackson incident at last Sunday's Super Bowl "inappropriate and deplorable on a broadcast intended for viewers of all ages."

But "the incidental exposure of an elderly woman's breast in the context of a medical trauma is not comparable," he said.

Viewers advised of a show's adult content are capable of "making the distinction and adjusting their viewing habits accordingly," he said.

"This type of network behavior is one of the primary reasons that so many of today's producers and viewers are increasingly turning to HBO and other cable outlets that do not censor responsible storytelling," Wells said.

In its statement, NBC agreed that the scene, in which an 80-year-old woman receives emergency treatment, is "appropriate and in context" and noted it would have aired late in the evening, after 10:30 p.m. EST.

But the network said it couldn't ignore the furor that followed a musical number in which Justin Timberlake pulled off part of Jackson's costume, exposing her breast to 89 million viewers.

After consulting with its affiliate board, the network asked the producers of "ER" to remove the nudity.

The one-second nudity provoked complaints from viewers and an investigation by the Federal Communications Commission which, potentially, could expose CBS and its affiliates to millions of dollars in fines.

Jackson took responsibility, saying it was a surprise stunt that went too far.

CBS, which is airing Sunday's Grammy Awards, said it would implement a video delay system to avoid similar problems.

heres a little video clip of her at the bowl

So what if i let everyone know? am i not allowed to? I never said that i wanted to move to canada, nor am i even obsessed with it to where i post all these canadian flags and say 'hail canada.' I just like the fact that the women there are allowed to expose their chests. And what does any of this have to do with conformity?

Well I find it offensive that my Iraqi and Israeli friends are denied into the US, at the Vermont border constantly...with no reason at all. It pisses me off--BIG TIME that a country can do that with NO EXPLAINATION at all. Now why doesn't that happen in the European Union? By the way--that happened to me 5 times last year. And I have NO intention of trying to attempt it again. Why would your friends want to come to the U.S. anyway? The U.S. sucks remember? Suggest to them to stay in Canada.... Heaven on Earth.

*nods* I watched ER the other night and wondered why they blurred it out... they've never done that before but then I watched the news afterwards... just weird.
