"The Ta-Tah HooHah." If you can stand any more of it...
...there is some pretty good (and funny) stuff about the great breast incident and related subjects at ESPN.Com.

<snip>

On the other hand, here's what's not funny. CBS...made a point of protecting the viewing public from a political advertisement, sponsored by MoveOn.org, that was critical of our government's mounting budget deficits. "We do not accept advertising on one side or the other of controversial public issues, partly because we don't think the debate ought to be controlled by people with deep pockets," said Martin Franks, CBS executive vice president. Of course, by refusing to air such ads, the deep-pocketed robber barons of CBS forestall political debate altogether. CBS scored the hat trick: Censorship, hypocrisy, and bad taste. No wonder Kid Rock is so proud to be an American.

Lots more...http://espn.go.com/page2/s/bloc/040203.html

1. Its only going to get worse.
We may end up with a situation not unlike the Victorian Era where respectability and morality played a big part in determining outward appearances, while the real corruption lay just beneath the surfaces.

I don't see what the big deal is over a star shaped nipple ring.

Go to an art gallery. Tell me what you see there!.
I am yet even less likely to watch the Stupid Bowel than I was this year but I am glad this happened. I was hoping it would.
