Here’s how Janet Jackson’s nipple is responsible for one of the biggest social media platforms ever. Picture this: It’s February 1st, 2004. The location is Houston, Texas. The event is the Super Bowl 38 halftime show. Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson are this year’s performers. In the middle of the song ‘Rock Your Body’, Timberlake tears off a part of Jackson’s costume, exposing her right breast for a split second. The incident, now referred to as Nipplegate, sent America into a meltdown. 😲 Broadcasters received 540,000 complaints. 😲 Timberlake and Jackson were sued by a Tennessee banker. 😲 The FCC doled out almost $8 million in fines to broadcasters such as CBS and Viacom. 😲 Janet Jackson's songs were blacklisted from being played on MTV and a large number of radio stations, and she was forced to resign from an acting role she had just taken. 140 million people around the world saw this incident happen live. However, three people didn't: Jawed Karim, Steve Chen, and Chad Hurley. They were frustrated that they couldn’t find a video clip of the incident. So they took matters into their own hands and created YouTube. In October 2006, YouTube was bought by Google for $1.65 billion. It’s now worth around $183 billion. All because of an unplanned ‘wardrobe malfunction.’ So, if you want to get more eyes on your products and services, give me a shout. I won’t get my nipple out to help the cause. But if you want to, I’ll happily write about it for you.

This blew my mind. Thank you for this my dude - I love knowing weird connection sh*t like this. Also, how did I know this would all end with a Ste nipple tease.

This was a triumph all round, but this in particular has made my Monday: "rip open my creative bustier and expose this link to find out more"
It’s amazing what a little nip can do 🤣
I didn't know that story about YouTube started, but I do know that the platforms first ever video was a giraffe at a zoo. Or something lol
Damn! I didn't know this! 🙆♀️ THIS IS CRAZY!
Never knew that - and what you on about, you won't get a nipple out. You're just not committed enough. At Christmas I appeared in my boxer shorts. Hang on. Maybe I should be committed..... Interesting post though
