What bothers me is that if it was on purpose, they (MTV, Jackson,
Timberlake) really hosed the NFL and the agreements for that show.

IMO, there's not a doubt in the world that the whole thing was staged. I
am
at a loss to understand why anyone even remotely targeting a family
audience
would contract with MTV to produce anything. If the NFL and/or CBS
couldn't
anticipate what they could be letting themselves in for, then they have
some
truly, truly stupid people doing their planning.



My lady friend works in college admissions, at a VERY picky school. You
should see what some of the applications look like. Pathetic. And, she
employs college seniors in the admissions office. Most of these kids get
jobs there because they have high grades. They still can't write, or make
simple business decisions. Back in November, they had 35 families coming to
visit and look at the school. Total of 140 people or thereabouts. One of the
assistants was told to estimate how many pizzas they'd need, and to place
the order. She was told to order a little extra, just in case some families
brought extra siblings along. She ordered 400 large pizzas. That's 3200
slices (round pies, 8 slices each), or 22 slices per person.

This is what's graduating from college and running businesses nowadays. With
any luck, Janet's entire outfit will come off next year.
