Adam's top-stripping was planned and on purpose and the Super Bowl powers were fine with it.

I wasnt bowled over by the show but I kind of enjoyed the scenery. 😄

Janet Jackson did not almost "lose her career" when she and Justin Timberlake executed their little stunt.
Ms. Jackson received an advance of $100 million for her record contract.
I'm not worried about her future. Are you?

Moonves, however, was convinced it wasnt a malfunction, but rather an intentional bid to stir up controversy. Moonves has been open about the fact that the incident caused him embarrassment, and he told sources who spoke to me that Jackson, in his mind, was not sufficiently repentant.
Moonves banned Jackson and Timberlake from the 2004 Grammys broadcast airing on CBS the week after the Super Bowl. But Timberlake was allowed to perform after he tearfully apologized for the incident, according to conversations Moonves had with my sources.
The CBS chief executive, according to sources who spoke to me, was furious that Jackson didnt make a similarly contrite apology to him. The fallout from the incident inflicted significant damage on Jacksons career ― which until that point had produced 10 No. 1 hits ― and still reverberates to this day.
Moonves ordered Viacom properties VH1 and MTV, and all Viacom-owned radio stations, to stop playing Jacksons songs and music videos. The move had a huge impact on sales of her album Damita Jo, which was released in March 2004, just a month after the Super Bowl.
