The infamous “wardrobe malfunction” involving Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake during the 2004 Super Bowl halftime show is the focus of a new documentary from the creators of “Framing Britney Spears.”

Super Bowl 38 has gone down as one of the most memorable broadcasts in the history of the NFL, and that has nothing to do with the New England Patriots eking out a win against the Carolina Panthers in the fourth quarter.

The 2004 event left viewers reeling, sparked a crackdown from the FCC and left one of the performers to suffer a major career fallout. That’s the topic of “Malfunction: The Dressing Down of Janet Jackson,” and according to the documentary’s director, Jodi Gomes, even now it’s “something you can’t ignore.”It only took nine-sixteenths of a second before cameras cut away from the incident, seen by 144 million viewers, but the damage to Jackson’s career continued for years.

Rethink this, it is a waste of time and money. Furthermore it is a disservice to the American people when important things are going on.

A documentary? Like why is that needing a documentary. One of the least important controversies in history.

'The infamous', it you exclude the media attention, it would have gone unnoticed !

I hope the documentary explored the damaging effect of this on the director of the halftime show, also a woman.

No one cares about their planned stunt that backfired.

JJ and JT need to stop pretending this wasn't 100% part of the choreography. Start there. Besides Justin's career took off because he was a young hot male artist, Janet had her time.

Wow. Breaking news. They did a documentary on that? You have got to be kidding
