Even if you didn't see the Super Bowl on Sunday, surely by now you've seen a clip of Justin "I'm Lubbin' It" Timberlake exposing Janet Jackson's breast during their halftime "performance".
If, like me, you think it was a little contrived and not quite real, don't worry. Neither is her breast.
Of course, CBS immediately distanced themselves from the boob-- I guess we know what the "B" in CBS doesn’t stand for-- apologizing to anyone offended by the display.
Hey, CBS. How about apologizing to those of us offended by your decision to not show spots from PETA and MoveOn.org during the game?
By way of explanation, CBS says their policy is to avoid issues-oriented or advocacy advertising during the Super Bowl. Guess that explains why there were anti-tobacco spots from thetruth.com and an anti-drug spot from the Office of National Drug Control Policy.
Wait. No, it doesn’t. But what else should you expect from the same network that caved in to crybaby conservatives who complained about the fairness of a proposed Reagan miniseries they hadn’t even seen yet?
(And before all you Reagan flamers fire up the email-- Heh. I said "Reagan flamers".-- I must point out that I like Reagan. I voted for Reagan. And I think Reagan was a good president. I just don’t happen to think he was the second coming of Christ, as most of today’s conservatives seem to.)
Still, as much as I enjoy bitching about the absurdities of modern American life, it saddens me to realize that the people of this country will blow a collective gasket over a one-second shot of a single boob on national TV, when there are so many other things more worthy of their outrage.
For instance: The war. The deficit. The intelligence failures that led to the war. The lies that led to the war. The Patriot Act. John Ashcroft. The IRS. The progressive tax system. Dr. Howard Deanholio. FOX News. Father Pedophile. Low-cut jeans and belly shirts. Ball waxing. And Mike Ditka talking about the quality of his erections during the Super Bowl, to name a few. (Da Boners!)
However, if after reading this list you’re still hyperventilating over boobs on TV, whatever you do, don’t turn on C-SPAN.
