Singer Nikki Minaj suffered a wardrobe malfunction during her performance on "Good Morning America" Friday.
It wasn’t entirely smooth sailing for hip hop singer Nicki Minaj on Friday, when the outlandishly dressed 28-year-old had a “wardrobe malfunction” while performing live on “Good Morning America.”
Wearing a skintight, midriff-baring top, one of Minaj’s nipples was fleetingly visible when it popped out while the singer performed her hit, “Where Dem Girls At.”
For some additional context, the rest of Minaj’s outfit included a plastic pink jacket, a see-through plastic hoop skirt, rubber rainboots and a big blond frizzy wig to top everything off.
Despite a five-second delay, the slip was broadcast during the East Coast’s live telecast. It was subsequently edited for other time zones.
ABC apologized for the mistake, saying in a statement: “We are sorry this occurred.”
The Parents Television Council blasted the network, telling TMZ: “For the umpteenth time in recent memory, a morning news show has included inappropriate content for children and families.”

Posted on August 6, 2011 at 4:44pmAh how far our society and culture have descended when people will pay money to see this so-called artist in concert, let alone on the boob-toob for all the world to see ;-(
Weep for our country for it calls horse hockey like this entertainment. We are no better than imperial Rome under the Julio-Claudians, post Augustus.

I steered them in the right direction by telling them if I ever heard rap crap in my house they would be in really really big trouble.. guess what they’re all A + students, respectful and I am completely in awe of them.. they’re the best..

Posted on August 6, 2011 at 3:18pmI stand by my words that the Wisonsin State Fair attack was not a spontaneous race riot. The more information I see, the more I understand it had to be a coordinated attack.
Poor black teenagers are not organized. They don’t show up en masse to events like this to start trouble. They don’t just spontaneously jump up from their couches to walk down to the fair to beat white people.
They don’t start at the entrance to the fair and drive people back into the fairgrounds. That‘s a martial tactic used to induce panic in those you’re attacking. People at the gates start trying to get back into the fairgrounds, while people trying to exit try harder to leave.
Here on The Blaze, suddenly dozens of new users with spam usernames show up and shout racist, violent things on our comments sections.

Posted on August 6, 2011 at 3:58pmI believe there IS a racial component to the attacks Jaycen. Having said that, I do not dispute your assertion that SEIU or some other communist org. had a hand in it. The question here is, how deeply entrenched are these community agitators, and are they trying to create a widespread racial confrontation. I live in Iowa, where last year at our state fair, around a hundred black youths decided to have a “beat whitey night”. The police later claimed there was no racial component to the attacks, yet all the victims were white, and all the perpetrators black. Much of the incident was filmed. We have NEVER had a Jim Crow law on our books, and when I was growing up, racial violence was very rare. So why do many young people in our black community behave this way now? My only conclusion is it must be due to poor parenting (very typical of single parent households), and a false sense of entitlement (the white man has oppressed the blacks in the past, therefore, they deserve this). I believe we are headed for some very troubling times in the race relations dept, and I pray that these young people will see they are being used to further an agenda that is not in the best interest of their future. A failure to see this before it escalates will only result in many people of all races being hurt, or worse, and a further setback of inter-racial relations.

Posted on August 6, 2011 at 3:09pmI NEVER watch these mainstream shows (ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC)….never, never, never.
These stations are filled with crap, junk, mild porn, things that will fill your child’s head with lies, deceit, and trash. WHY WOULD ANYONE WATCH THESE SHOWS?
THIS is not entertainment people. This is a way for trash to make money.
IS IT WHOLESOME? IS IT CONVENTIONAL? IS IT SAFE? IS IT TRUTH?
IS IT VALUABLE? IS IT DECENT?
NO.
Then, if you watch these shows to entertain yourself, you are putting money in their pockets and supporting them. Not only that, YOU ARE FILLING YOUR OWN HEADS WITH TRASH.
And, you wonder why America’s values have declined. Idiotic Americans who watch these, deserve what they get – THE DECLINE OF A GREAT COUNTRY. GOODBYE AMERICA.
