Jacket Jackson Exposed!

I didn't watch the Super Bowl last night, so I didn't see the most talked about event of the evening. No, you know I'm not talking about the game, although I hear that was pretty good too. Yep, I'm talking about Janet and her "wardrobe malfunction." I have seen clips so I have an idea of what the ruckus is all about.

Justin Timberlake called it a "wardrobe malfunction." Okay, everybody who believes that clap your hands for Tinkerbell! I've heard the lyrics of the songs, I've seen the "dirty dancing" that was going on, I've seen the clip, and I've seen some of the ads that were on - and the ones I didn't see, I've heard about. An article on the Drudge report called it unrehersed. So what? All that means is that CBS and MTV can say they didn't know about it (wink wink).

I don't know who knew what when, but this will be a real boost to Janet's career, don't you think? I wonder if she has any CD's coming out soon. And as far as who knew what when, CBS and MTV can deny all they want, but I'd bet someone knows the term "plausible denibility." MTV posted on their website that there would be "shocking moments." What did they mean? That Justin and Janet would tickle each other's tonsils? Sorry, that's not shocking after Britney and Madonna.

What goes on between two consenting adults behind closed doors is one thing. This was in public (before something like 90 million people), I believe it was a deliberate act, and I believe that someone needs to be held responsible. This was an act that was perpetrated in front of grandparents, parents, and children. The human body is a wonderful work of art, but I would prefer to view art of my choosing. I don't want it shoved in my face. I'm not advocating censorship in any form, I use the radio and TV dial (or remote) to censor what I want to see and hear. I don't mind pushing the envelope, but this busted the envelope into the next county!

The FCC has launched an investigation and I can't wait to see what happens. They didn't do anything about Bono's use of the "F" word. I don't care if it was an adjective or not. Coarse language is, in my opinion, the sign of an uneducated, illiterate person and shouldn't be acceptable in what was one far away day called "polite society." And don't tell me that "everybody does it." I don't. I might not be everybody, but I'm somebody.

The coarse language used in the lyrics of many of today's song are dragging us to lower and lower depths. And even when the language itself is not coarse, the words and dance movements used in the song are so many times meant to send a message that is meant to antagonize, hurt, or inflame.

What makes me sad is that when we begin accepting tasteless behavior and language as the ordinary, then we're sinking to a level that's going to be really hard to rise out of, much less above.

Some Random Thoughts on the Janet Episode

Several people on various radio programs today mentioned that Janet's career is not what it once was. Another said she was a bit "long in the tooth" for the type of music she sings. A stunt like this might be just the ticket to boost a flagging career.

I heard that a Houston viewer called the HPD to file a complaint. HPD apparently yawned and promised to investigate. She could be charged with indecent exposure. Hmmm....a drawn out court case, more publicity......just wondering. HPD apparently plans to file no charges. What a surprise. Well, actually, I can understand. It's probably a misdemeanor at best and not really worth the effort of filing charges, etc.

Could this be a rouse to detract attention from her wacko brother Michael? I don't know, and I'm not saying it is. I'm just tossing out a thought.

I'm not positive, but I've been told that Justin could be charged (in some states anyway) with sexual assault for exposing her boob.

Just read that the FCC could fine CBS up to $27,500 for each station that showed the exposure incident. Can you imagine how much money that could be??? It boggles my mind!

This Just In!!!

CNN reports that Janet admits that this stunt was planned. She apologizes for any embarassment etc. No one at CBS, MTV, NFL etc knew yada yada yada.

Now...will Justin admit that he knew?
