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...

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

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

But I think "Kid Rock" was far worse.

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

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.
