CBS STRIPS JANET JACKSON FROM THE GRAMMYS (Hollyweirdos contempt for middle-class values)
NY POST ^ | February 7, 2004 | LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

THE ISSUE: CBS's decision to ban Janet Jackson from Sunday night's Grammys.

I'm so glad that CBS is giving Janet Jackson the boot from the Grammys ("Grammys Boot Janet - Shamed CBS Execs Can't Bare to Put Her on Again," Feb. 5). She certainly hasn't done her brother any good with her disgusting actions. I think the whole Jackson family has some screws loose - particularly that Jacko nut. That Justin Timberlake is also a joke. Does he actually think anyone believes that he didn't know what would happen at the halftime show? Ruth Lindemann Colorado Springs, Colo.

My questions are why are these people such a force for public policy? Why are the politicians listening to them? And finally, why are Americans so willing to lay down their responsibility to foster good citizenship and protection of our progeny, and allow their silliness to pervade the country?

Too many disturbed people revere the cult of "celebrity." Hollywarped forcefeeds its acolytes with vapid TV entertainment shows. Broadcasting the Grammys and the Oscars also sedates the celebrity cult. Hollyweirdos encourage putting braindead celebs like Jackass, Madonna, and Britney on pedestals b/c it sells tickets and CDs, etc.

On Fox someone said that Janet's outfit was from a place that caters to the S&M crowd and they are furious that it was claimed "wardrobe malfunction" and maintained that their clothes do not malfunction. I don't know if this is true or was supposed to be a joke since I missed the beginning.

What is as bad as seeing a grown man cry is to see a grown man with a job like yours.

Hey Pat we are mocking you and your silly career (oops wrong word}. Some of us would prefer to bag groceries rather than be just another pop culture pimp.

Dude I am embarrassed for you.

Janet the Bare-Breast Jackson
(Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer melody)


You know Micheal and Marlon and Jacko and Tito
Randy and Jermaine and Rebbie and LaToya
But do you recall the most famous Jackson of all
Janet the Bare-Breast Jackson, had a very shiney nipple
And finally when she beared it, you would even see it’s pierced
But Janet’s father Joseph, use to scream and steal her Toys
He never let poor Janet, sing with all the Jackson Boys.


Then one foggy super bowl day, MTV came to say
Janet with your breasts so big, won’t you play our half-time gig
Then how the tabloids loved her, and they shouted out with glee
Janet the Bare-breast Jackson, your career is history

Janet Jackson gets dumped for showing a breast and apologizing for it? Timberlake lies and stays on? Like a typical man, he saved himself first.

The first point is good. The second ("like a typical man") is misandristic garbage.

Who thinks this woman ought to spend a few days with the troops in Baghdad?

Liz, I saw the funniest report on Channel 11 last night. They had an interview with the designers of Janet's bustier, which she had purchased from their shop here. It looked like a high-end S & M boutique.

The New York Post had an interview with the them yesterday. Janet's people bought a ton of S&M items for that show at that store. Nothing says good family entertainment like S & M!

I understand the Comeback Kid has generously volunteered to help Janet make a comeback:

Most people on this forum consider posts in all capital letters to be offensive.
It is the internet version of shouting.

I know you're new here and would like to help to get off on the right foot, so take my comment as a way to fit in faster

Regards
