Agreed. But it just ain't that big a deal.


Not to you. To other people it *is* a big deal. Not just the incident
itself,
but the incident as a symbol of how goofy the whole system is.


Goofy is right.

Just found this article on Fox News this morning, regarding a class
action suit that has been filed in Tennessee over the Janet Jackson
'exposure':

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,110630,00.html

The lawsuit claims that:

"As a direct and proximate result of the broadcast of the acts,
[Carlin] and millions of others saw the acts and were caused to suffer
outrage, anger, embarrassment and serious injury."

Serious injury? Millions injured? From a TV picture of a breast? (that
ain't no ordinary breast, it's a WMD...) One can only speculate on
the nature of that one - the suit doesn't specify what kind of injury
was caused.

Hmmm - still think the Star article missed the target?

Nope, no irrational reaction there, eh? 8^0
