For anyone who doesn't already know and can't be bothered following the link, Justin Trousersnake "accidentally" exposed Janet Jackson's right boob as part of the half-time entertainment for some sporting event or other. (There is some debate as to whether it was, in fact, accidental. Apparently the costume looked like it was constructed of velcro, and she was wearing some sort of nipple-obscuring tassle underneath, and she didn't look all that surprised.) All parties involved have issued apologies, with the exception of Miss Jackson (who was apologised to).
Personally I am saddened that there was a need for apologies, as the breast is a perfectly natural part of the human anatomy. Quite aside from that, though, the organisers stated that they "had no indication of the nature of the performance during the half-time show". Come on. It was a song about how badly Justin Timberlake wants to get young girls naked and fill them with cock. Does exposed mammary (regardless of actual nippleage or not) actually make that any worse?

Date: 2004-02-02 05:34 am (UTC)Pictures may titillate or invoke an emotional response. Only very few pictures actually cause you to think (I'm thinking of art or good journalistic photography). Looking at something is normally a passive background process, often forgotten shortly after being seen.
Words however are the stuff of ideas. If your listen to words you are actively thinking. They have the power to change you views, goad a crowd, alter your very perception of the world around you. Bloody dangerous things these words :-)
Now does anyone agree with me that Diana Ross's "Chain Reaction" was possibly the most pornographic song of its time?
