The Janet Jackson half time show incident has to be one of the most talked about Super Bowl incidents that I am sure will be talked about even in 2066.

The Janet Jackson Super Bowl halftime incident was one of those moments that will be talked about for generations to come and is likely one of the reasons why the original Viacom was split up.

I still remember the uproar in the days following the Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction incident and I still cannot believe it will be 20 years come next year.

Take me back to February 1, 2004

Let's take a stroll down memory lane.

The date is February 1, 2004, and it's a Sunday. Anyone born today will have the star sign Aquarius. People are currently enjoying their weekend. However, because it's a Sunday, some are dreading the week ahead.

In America, the song "Hey Ya" by Outkast is at the top of the singles charts, while "All This Time" by Michelle McManus is the number-one song in the UK. George W. Bush Jnr. is the President of the United States, and the movie You Got Served is at the top of the box office. Tony Blair is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

On television, people are watching popular shows such as "ER", "The Royle Family", "Star Trek: Enterprise", and "Punk'd". In technology news, more and more people are beginning to gain access to the Internet. Internet speeds are increasing and MP3 sharing is beginning to threaten the existence of music stores. People are using a software program called LimeWire to share music, software, and videos. Unfortunately, it is also a haven for computer viruses.

Smartphones don't exist yet. There are no Androids or iPhones. Cameras on phones are quickly becoming the norm. However, the photographs that they take are still lacking in quality. Internet users are using MSN Messenger and AIM to chat with each other online.

A flash animation of badgers singing "badger, badger, badger" has become a viral hit on the Internet. The animation, which loops indefinitely, was published by British animator Jonti Picking in September 2003. It's 2004, so the music charts are being dominated by the likes of Usher, Alicia Keys, Maroon 5, OutKast, Mario Winans, the Terror Squad and Ciara. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Pat Tillman, Ronald Reagan, Ray Charles, and Marlon Brando would all still be alive.

People are playing video games such as "RuneScape", "Tony Hawk's Underground", "True Crime: Streets of LA", and "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time". Children and teenagers are watching television shows such as "7th Heaven", "Grizzly Tales for Gruesome Kids", "Lizzie McGuire", and "The Cramp Twins". Children are playing with toys such as Betty Spaghetty (doll), Playmobil Airport, Namco TV Games, and Cosmolight Alien Eggs.
