vovatI'm liking the warm weather we've been having recently, although it seems a little too early in the year for the temperature to reach 80 degrees or whatever.
Are people seriously still making an issue out of Janet Jackson exposing her breast at the Super Bowl? I wasn't going to address this at all, but I keep hearing about people using that as an excuse to cancel Howard Stern, Victoria's Secret trade shows, and other totally unrelated things. (Really, I wouldn't know for sure, but I doubt you're going to see very many naked breasts at a Victoria's Secret show, since part of their purpose is to sell garments that COVER breasts.) I didn't actually see the incident. If I had, I probably would have been surprised, but wouldn't have really cared. Are we, as a society, really so immature that we essentially say, "OMG, a b00b!!!!11" when something like that happens? Aren't people aware that, by making a big deal out of publicity stunts like that and Madonna kissing Britney Spears that they're having exactly the reaction the washed-up celebrity perpetrators want? ("Wow, Madonna iz still edgy!!!111") I think I see something more sinister going on here, namely would-be censors using the public's unnecessary furor to get rid of whatever they, personally, don't like.
