UPDATE: Ok, this was funny at first, but now it’s getting ridiculous. Jackson, Timberlake, and their respective reps may be facing fines. MTV has been refused the honor of producing next year’s Half-Time Event. CBS is being attacked for allowing such a “classless, crass, and deplorable” behaviour to air.

IT’S JUST A TIT.

In most european countries, full nudity is to be found on every station, at every time of the day, and used in just about any context. Car ads, public service announcements, news programming. It’s not considered perverse or depraved to show the human form on television. Here, a 2 second long, distant shot of an accidentally revealed and greatly obscurred nipple, has caused a national uproar.

If there is any display on television or anywhere more perverse than the Superbowl, I fail to call it to mind. An accidental glimpse of an honest-to-goodness human breast, is easily the only honest, genuine piece of humanity ever associated with this grotesque display of American excess and bravado.

Go Pats!
