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."

That lawsuit has already been dropped. Basically someone getting their
15 minutes of fame.

It is absolutely surreal that the plaintiff's name is Carlin.

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.

Whiplash?

Hmmm - still think the Star article missed the target?

Yes.

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

There certainly was - in the Star article...

But I think "Kid Rock" was far worse.

....and the Carline lawsuit was alreay dropped today.

Don't leave out the crotch grabbing and inappropriate "lyrics" from
P.Diddy and Nelly.

.....which is disappointing - I was hoping to find out what the
'serious injuries' claimed in the suit were.

Agreed - somehow, this garbage tends to pass as part of the
'performers art' these days....those lyrics glorify gangsterism and
violent behaviour, that ain't good.

I don't have a lot of time to talk, but simply couldn't ignore this
subject. Have you ever heard the phrase, "slinging sh*t?" It's fairly
popular with some teenagers today. Anyway, I was flipping through the
channels the other day and happened upon the "Soul Train" television show.
There was a male singer on stage going through the motions of doing exactly
that. As he was singing, he would wipe his hand up the crack of his butt and
then flick his hand in the direction of the cheering audience.

He did this several times (six or seven, at least). If he had not repeated
it, I wouldn't have believed what I first saw. I have no idea who the singer
was, and only stayed on the channel long enough after that to learn the
program name, but this has to be an example of entertainment reaching a new
low.

Michael Jackson repeatedly grabbing his crotch in front of audiences often
filled with young children was the previous low point, in my opinion
(especially considering the recent allegations and his admission of sleeping
with children).
