I guess the "need" to try for tasteless shock value is a Jackson family
trait.

Yep, looks that way. And if that wasn't a planned exposure, why the
pastie?
What passes for talent these days really sucks!

Absolutely! Isn't it time that we all state the obvious and tell these faux
entertainers that we know they all have no talent and resort to sexual
antics on stage to hide that which is all too evident? Whatever happened to
musicians and singers who actually relied on their talent and creative /
artistic material rather than shock value?

First, what credentials do YOU have to be able to state what is
artistic talent and what is not? Second, there were no sexual antics
on stage. A woman's breast was shown. Do you not think that their
dance routine took talent? If they had no talent, how did they get
where they are? The dance WAS "artistic material". It's just that some
people are too narrow minded to understand!

....that was not a pastie. It was a piece of
jewelry held on by a pin through her protruding nipple.

A few times in HS, my daughter started lobbying for some kind of body
piercing.

I told her she could, just as soon as she could point out to me exactly
whose esteem and regard -- hers or someone else's -- was so important that
she would risk letting a stranger use a mechanical device to punch a hole in
some body part.

Of course, I even think pierced ears are pretty stupid, so I guess that
identifies my niche. :-)

Jeez, even people of the Stone Age liked self adornment. It IS a
matter of a person's self esteem. Again, there are many, many articles
dealing with self adornment back to the beginning of man.

A few weeks back, my son was watching Saturday Night Live, probably a
re-run. There was this funny guy on, a guest, doing a great job with one of
the skits. I commented on it, and my son, who's 14 and supposed to dislike
him, said it was Justin Timberlake. But, even he had to admit that
Timberlake was quite good.

I think 14 year old boys dislike him because of his nauseating squeaky clean
image when he was with Nsync. But, he seems to be behaving more like a
person now, rather than a magnet for bubble gum girls.

It's amazing how wound up some people can get just by seeing a breast.

Its not seeing her breast that's the issue, Bill. She's thirty-seven years
old -- you probably couldn't count the number of..... well, never mind that.

As I said before, there are six billion in the world, one more doesn't
matter. Its the tacky, low-class way she felt it necessary to draw
attention to herself that is bothersome.

Ref my second para above.

An artist needs to "draw attention" to him/herself. After all, he/she
IS the product they are selling.

I know she exposed her boob for shock value, but is it just me or is
it an ugly tit?

BTW: I think I will buy a Jon Boat this spring. Need feed back from
jon boat users, are they better or worse than conventional aluminum
fishing boats?

What's a "conventional aluminum fishing boat"??????

Boats, for instance. :-)

Well, Justin sure knows where the titties are kept.... hehe

I was in line a couple years ago for Black Sabbath reunion tickets, that
went on sale the same time as Nsync tickets were going off. Talk about a
culture rift between the two lines!!

Too much ado over a breast. What a backwards country this is.

And it wasn't even a bare breast. Sheesh!

And it wasn't even a real breast. Sheesh!

You misunderstand. It's the "ado" over the nearly bare breast on
television I find absurd. I'm not too old to be "titillated," as it
were. Anyone who has traveled any and has tuned in to television in
Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and dozens of other
countries has seen bare female breasts during primetime hours on the
major television stations. It is Americans who are so backwards about
this they flip out when they see tits on TV. It's perfectly ok, though,
to show someone being shot.

I think most of the uproar is over the low class stunt. Draw attention to
yourselves as you have no real talent. PBS shows bare titties, and not
uproar. Most of the soaps probably come close, and Baywatch etc, were as
good as showing.
