Ms. Jackson, Please don't get "Nasty" again...

It seems Janet's "Boobiegate" incident at the Super Bowl has inspired a barrelful of hypocritical unrest in our nation's capital. All kinds of people are starting to come under fire for being "indecent" and what not (which is such an insult, considering that what constitutes "obscenity" depends on where you live, what you identify with, and so on), and the latest to come under fire: Howard Stern

Personally, I've never been the biggest Stern fan (I did enjoy the movie Private Parts, but otherwise I never cared much for the radio show as broadcast nightly on E! network), but the fact that he's being attacked now is simply a result of the uproar over Ms. Jackson's utterly stupid and unnecessary stunt. The guy's been peddling in smut for twenty years and now, all of a sudden, he's in the crosshairs of the FCC.

Conservatives are making this whole situation out to be something that shows the "degeneration of America" and using it as an excuse to go after stuff they deem "offensive". Like I said, obscenity is a very loose category into which just about anything can fit if you ask around enough. If Howard were to be yanked from the air because of this (and NOT because he lost any ratings or audience or wasn't making any money for his radio station), then who would be next? I suppose, as someone who has come to the belief that freedom of speech makes us unique in the world and thus needs to be preserved at all costs, that this is terribly pressing. The minute the government gets involved in what you can or cannot see, hear, read, whatever, who's to say they stop at just the obvious stuff?

So I guess what I'd like to do is to send this to Ms. Jackson, who I'm sure reads this board all the time (and is probably "Rocket Mick" in disguise :p ). Ms. Jackson, please don't get nasty on TV again. The world would be a much better place if your sagging, mutilated (remember, I'm not a fan of weird piercings) boob had come flying out of the costume almost an entire month ago. I know you haven't sold a record since 1997, but believe me, the world didn't need another aging pop diva trying to recapture the attention of the youth market by engaging in a planned and unnecessary display of how "sexy" you still are.

Ms. Jackson, keep it in your bra next time, okay

:D

Ms Jackson!

I've never been a big fan of Clear Channel, the huge company that is leading the push on Stern, though so far only six of their stations have stopped airing his show, and their ability and influence on what gets on the air has rankled a number of people the wrong way for quite awhile.

I'm not a big fan of Stern by any means, I only laugh when he interviews porn stars and some wackos, like Courtney Love, it was quite amusing to hear the two of them try to out talk the other at the same time, and when Robin does the news, but it is certainly curious with the timing of all this. I personally didn't hear it, but the guy who's pushing the Paris Hilton video took a call from a listener this week, and said listener used the 'n' word, and from what I've learned about the wiser and older Stern, is that that's something that he didn't approve of, but I could be wrong about it.

One of Howard's semi-regulars is a retarded man who lives in my town (Gary is his name, though I can't quite recall that either). Last year, our paper had a story on him about his experiences with Howard, and how he got to fly to Vegas and New York and other places, and how he got a computer and other stuff. Basically how he got to do a lot more than he would've had he been stuck here, and how his social worker was "sad" cause she felt that Gary was being used by Stern. Gary's response to her was adamant: he did not feel that in any way, and was very thankful for the trip around the country.

this whole big this is one fricken funny joke to me..its so gay

*Well, I find some amateur pornography quite pleasant, while I find death penalty totally obscene. The simple fact a man can be killed from the state while he's in prison and can't do any harm is totally disgusting, much more than showing porn on TV at tea time. So you're right, some people remember that the body can be beautiful and there are more serious issues. And what about Bush?! He's much uglier than Janet's tits, but he's on TV all the time! Save our children, ban him from the TV screen! :D

That's probably because he's a guy. It's always the women who get picked on in cases like this, even when the man's just as guilty. Am I the only one who thinks that's wrong?

And what about Bush?!

No I think Janet went far enough with her breast. There's certainly no need for her to get bush out too...:)

Well you don't know 'til you see it, give her a chance! :D Still, your President would be much much more obsceeeene!

He's certainly not my president! Unless you mean that he's taking over the world and will soon be everyone's president...

No, sorry, I just didn't read your location and thought you were American...

Aaargh! You're just making it worse now! (no offence to our American friends, with whom we have a Special Relationship).

Oh come on, Americans are alright, they gave us Mc Donald's and the Pixies... They happen to have a crap president, but you had Maggie Thathcher and we have Berlusconi so to each their own bastards... ;)

Too bad we didn't get to see Barney's boob at half time during the superbowl... it's just a thought.

perish the thought
