Here's what really pisses me off about these religious conservative assholes. They hint, insinuate, and otherwise spinelessly imply that some sort of damage is done by the unexpected exposure to a fucking tit. Well, let's hear it. What's the damage? What is it that's supposed to happen in the mind of a child when a pop-star flashes her tit?
Since none of you assholes have the balls to say it, I will. I thought about this extensively, and I came up with one possible negative consequence of the Janet Jackson halftime fiasco. Girls may stop flashing their tits.
Young girls may overhear young boys talking about how disgusting Janet Jackson's tit was, in comparison to the thousands of other great tits they've seen while their religious-conservative parents were out of the house, and young girls might become self-conscious about exposing their own tits.
Fortunately, all these girls will unlearn this little misunderstanding on their first trip to New Orleans. A bunch of guys yelling "Show your tits!" followed by drunken cheers and a barrage of beads, will thoroughly convince these nudity-shy chicks that guys are, in fact, happy to see any tit, regardless of the size, shape, color, or age of the fucking thing. Girls might even be a little perturbed that guys misled them back in elementary school on that fateful day after the Super Bowl.
If only there were a Democratic presidential candidate who didn't like terrorists. Damn, do I want to vote against religious conservatism. The best "argument" by these religious conservatives has been to point out how full of shit Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson were in their publicist-penned apologies. No fucking kidding. The apologies were bullshit. But that doesn't point out any facts in favor of your case. Someone else's lies don't prove the morality of using government force to regulate what a TV station can broadcast or what a TV owner can watch.
These hypocritical conservatives are like liberals who denounce the war against Iraq because G.W. Bush was full of shit in making his case before the war. The liberals steer nice and clear away from: (a) whether the war was a good thing, and (b) what the fuck else we should do to prevent terrorism. They could care less about reality, as long as they can point out inconsistencies in someone else's thinking. The conservatives are doing the same thing with the censorship issue. They're content to point out flaws in the other side's argument rather than make a legitimate argument themselves.
The reason conservatives have gotten away with this is partly because people like Janet Jackson and the people who employ them are too fucking gutless to defend themselves. It's amazing to me that Janet Jackson has the guts to show a tit on national television, but is scared shitless to tell people to go fuck themselves if they can't stomach it. People have no problem selling their souls, but are stingy as hell when it comes to spending one dime for the sake of their souls. I guess that next MTV gig is worth more to Janet than some stupid abstract concept like the right to perform any gig. Fortunately for her, the heads of corporations have the same concrete-bound, shortsighted mentality. The left hand certainly knows what the right tit is doing.
I really don't care if you're offended by something you see on television. You have no "right" to watch a television program. A television program is produced by the efforts of individuals for the enjoyment of those who choose to purchase televisions. Your family not watching television doesn't prevent you from pursuing your life, liberty, or happiness. In fact, if seeing a breast during a football game gets you so goddamn upset, I suggest you get rid of your television set entirely. You're obviously incapable of handling it, so leave the tits and balls for the rest of us, you sex-fearing, human body-hating, witch-hunting prudes.
Funny, isn't it? The purest birth to a Christian conservative was the one without all that icky sex.
