Super Bowl shenanigans: It's still not enough

Does anyone out there watch the Super Bowl for the football anymore?
I hope not, because plans are already in motion for an even wilder show with more music, more sex, and more FCC transgressions than ever before!
The halftime event this year raised the bar for tasteless displays and it'll be hard to beat. Everyone's still buzzing about the unexpected appearance of Janet Jackson's right breast during a song she performed with Justin "I'm not a has-been yet, honest" Timberlake. During a tender, romantic ballad about a stalker in a dance club, Timberlake sang "I'm gonna see you naked by the end of this song" and yanked off part of Jackson's bustier to expose a nipple adorned with a ten pound andiron. A flurry of investigations and denials and accusations is still whipping back and forth between the companies involved, with the (so far) final word being that CBS and MTV were unaware of the singers' last-minute plans or even that Jackson possessed breasts at all. This is being disputed, especially after it was pointed out that Jackson's Super Bowl contract specified separate accommodations for her nipple including costuming, craft services, and its own trailer.

My local paper covered the whole scandal in its gossip section today...

Except the copy editor must have been dozing, as Justin Timberlake is referred to as 'Trousersnake' throughout the article. Not in quotation marks, not as his nickname - just Justin Trousersnake.

Trousersnake's publicist stated...

Another great article.

You know it's really sad that all the other "stuff" stole so much air time because between the boobs, beer and bands there was a really great foootball game. I really had very little interest in the two teams playing but they ended up having a great game and that should be the focus. I know that's why I turned the TV on last sunday.

Enjoyed it immensely, as usual. Please continue posting the links -- I think of Wednesday as "Chris's article day."

So I honestly have no idea what number superbowl we're on, but was your error in the Roman numerals intentional?
