One of the downsides to writing a weekly column that comes out on Thursdays is that, sometimes, it is almost impossible to wait that long to get in on a mega-proportioned global discussion that sweeps across the nation (and maybe the world), featuring intellectual excitement, deep thoughts, civic energy, grass roots activism, corporate wrangling, media obsessions and warrants, we must all agree, our undivided attention. When society is pressed into such a worldwind of psychic output, it is difficult (after a few minutes let alone a few days) to come up with a meaningful take that hasn't already been took. That being said, I really hope it's not too late for me to write just a few words about Janet Jackson's booby.

It is difficult to know where to begin given that the incident hits so squarely (roundly?) in my key areas of interest: Football, Media, Modern Dance, Entertainment, Politics, and Jugs. With that in mind here are a few random takes about the frontal disclosure and the outbursts that followed:

Let's get one thing out of the way. It was planned. I haven't used the old "I exposed your breasts due to a wardrobe malfunction" excuse since seventh grade.

First CBS blamed MTV. Then MTV blamed Janet Jackson. MTV blaming Janet for a salacious act is like a pimp complaining that one of his employees is freelancing.

"No" promised MTV execs when asked if they were in on the exposure plot. Of course not. They merely told the performers to sing suggestive lyrics while grinding their asses into each other's crotches. No one even hinted that things would get inappropriate.

If your young child must be exposed to questionable content, which would be worse: Three hours celebrating a game where the core purpose is to aggressively and violently collide with another person and because of which the life expectancy of its participants is somewhere south of 60 years (thanks to the weekly beatings they take on the field), or a millisecond of bare knocker?

I wouldn't be surprised if Cialis demanded their advertising money back. They showed about twenty ads for a product that makes sure men are ready for intimate moments. Now the whole country has had a woody for going on five days. During the Pro Bowl, expect to see ads for drugs that treat priapism.
