muscadineJanet Jackson's boob...Justin's answer to Brittany's kiss with Madonna? Anyways, this non-news item bores me. Where's the moral outrage at Kid Rock's "desecration" of the flag? Where's the moral outrage at P.Diddy *roll* and Nelly grabbing their "cocks" every few seconds? What, there is none? Then STFU.
(modified to add some things I said elsenet)
You're a hypocrite if you have indicated you are offended by all those things, but when they happen you only focus on the most sensational. The moral outrage of media whores, politicians, and company who harp on and on about our culture's moral decay bores me in general. But it especially bores me when it comes in the form of selective moral outrage.
If they focused on Kid Rock, plenty of people would yell free speech. Rappers grabbing their crotch? Most people would just roll their eyes and move on with their lives. But a little boobie might just be enough to reach a critical mass of public indignation. Opportunism at its best. The blending of morality and politics is a beautiful thing. Never mind the male dancers had more cleavage than Little Miss Janet.
