11. Race has nothing to do with this, at all.
It wouldn't matter what color boob it was, the person who exposed it would be in trouble. To play the race card about this just makes a mockery out of real racism.

Sexism doesn't have anything to do with it either. If some guy pulled down his pants or mooned the super bowl half-time audience, I think he'd be treated even worse - he'd probably be in jail.

Its beginning to look to me now that this was Janet's idea and CBS, MTV, possibly even Justin had no idea what was gonna happen. They thought it was gonna be a red brassiere that was revealed. If thats true, then none of them should share in any of the blame. I wouldn't be surprised if this was between just her and her designer.

She's really caused problems though, cuz now congress is using this to try to crack down on broadcast tv. Theres a big investigation, and there are bills including revoking licenses and increasing fines tenfold - that will chill free expression. It was really a dumb thing for her to do; she gave the censors exactly what they needed.
