Media coverage of sex blamed for breast baring

BRITISH boyband Blue has blamed the media for encouraging stunts such as Janet Jackson’s Super Bowl breast baring.

The group say the mainstream press' increasing coverage of sex has made performers believe they have to push boundaries to get noticed.

"It's a shame that you have to bare one of your breasts at a Super Bowl match just to get publicity," singer Duncan James said in Singapore, where the band attended the MTV Asia Awards. "You lot lap it up, that's why they do it," he told reporters, calling Jackson's stunt "disgusting."
