U.S. Children Still Traumatized One Year After Seeing
Partially Exposed Breast On TV

WASHINGTON, DC
As the nation approaches the one-year anniversary of the
Super Bowl XXXVIII tragedy, an FCC study shows that
millions of U.S. children were severely traumatized by the
exposure to a partially nude female breast during the
Feb. 1, 2004 halftime show.

Jackson irrevocably damages millions of American children.

"No one who lived through that day is likely to forget the
horror," said noted child therapist Dr. Eli
Wasserbaum. "But it was especially hard on the children."

The tragic wardrobe malfunction occurred approximately 360
days ago, during Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake's
performance of "Rock Your Body," when Timberlake tore
Jackson's costume, accidentally revealing her right
breast.

"By the time CBS cut to an aerial view of the stadium, the
damage was done," said Wasserbaum, who has also worked
extensively with orphaned and amputee children in Third
World war zones. "I've found that children can be
amazingly resilient, but this event was too much for many
of them to take. The horrible image of that breast is
likely to haunt them for the rest of their lives."

According to the 500-page report filed by the FCC, more
than 90 percent of the children who saw the exposed breast
said they were "confused and afraid."

"Mommy has dirty chest bumps," said a 5-year-old boy
quoted in one of the thousands of case studies compiled by
the FCC. "She's like the bad lady on TV. I'm afraid Mommy
will take off her shirt and scare everyone. I hate Mommy."

Girls were traumatized as well, often expressing
apprehensions about sexual development. According to
Wasserbaum, one 8-year-old girl told her parents that she
didn't "want to get evil breasts."

Wasserbaum said children of both genders associate their
trauma with footballs, presumably because of the context
in which they were exposed to the breast.

"When the tragedy took place, we knew it would cause
psychological trauma, but we had no idea how long the
effects would last," Wasserbaum said."Our worst fears have
been confirmed. It will take years to repair the damage."

Cases of deviant sexual development induced by
breast-glimpsing are widespread amongst older
children. Pathologies range from schoolyard exhibitionism
to gender-role confusion and violent shirt-tearing.

"The FCC imposed the maximum $27,500 penalty on each of
the 20 CBS-owned television stations," Wasserbaum
said. "But the government offered no recompense to the
individuals exposed to the breast. And neither Jackson nor
Timberlake has ever specifically apolgized to the children
whose lives they ruined, or donated a penny for the
adolescents' psychiatric care."

Across America, parental concern over the condition
doctors have dubbed Nearly Naked Breast Disorder continues
to grow.

"How can my son Brandon be expected to make it through
something like that unscathed?" asked mother of four
Shonali Bhomik of the San Francisco-based What About the
Children? Foundation, one of many social-awareness groups
spearheading the fight for increased NNBD funding in
Congress. "For approximately 1.5 seconds, he saw a
breast. The image was seared into his innocent, tiny
retinas. He can't close his eyes without replaying the
whole ugly scene over and over in his little head."

"For the love of God...
that breast was almost nude," Bhomik added.

Bhomik said she has concerns about her son's development.

"I shudder to think how this could affect my son once he
reaches puberty," Bhomik said. "Little Brandon just wanted
to watch the fun halftime show with his family. He was
only 10 years old."

Bhomik is one of millions of people facing every parent's
worst nightmare: that their child will see a partially
exposed breast.

Wasserbaum said there is no way to predict whether the
children will recover.
