Halftime show scandal

During the "halftime show" there were uncomfortable scenes for the broadcaster when Janet Jackson's wardrobe dissolved under the influence of Justin Timberlake and her right breast could be seen. This "wardrobe malfunction" led to innumerable complaints from American television viewers and subsequently caused some programs to be broadcast a few seconds later so that they could intervene if necessary.
