People,

As much as I love living in this country, more and more frequently there are times when I just want to kick the majority of its people square in the ass.

What's on my mind today is the Janet Jackson scandal which is, perhaps, the dumbest thing in the world. Here's why, in two short reasons, it drives me absolutely crazy:

-All the news can talk about is the outrage of America over the showing of one tit during primetime. The FCC is talking about fines, CBS is denying they knew anything about it and everybody, I mean everybody, is apologizing. Has this country really gotten to the point where someone's boob is more offensive than the speeches of a warmongering president who ignores the constitution and the daily scenes of unnecessary carnage in Iraq and Afganistan? I mean, come on.

-But it's all about the children right? Seeing Janet Jackson's boob is going to irrevocably turn their moral compass to sin. Arg. I'm so tired of the far right christian ethic in this country that says that the body is somehow evil and dirty and should be hidden. I mean, if you want to get mad at Janet Jackson, get mad at how lame her whole perfomance was, but not because she has boobs. Everybody has boobs. And it seems to me that the more you try to warp kids into thinking seeing a boob is dirty, yet seeing tons of violence isn't, the more you end up in twenty years with thirty year old guys whose ideas of sex are so fucked up that they can only get turned on by girls covered in pumpkin pie who poke them with toothpicks.

It's a boob, folks, just a boob. Everybody has them. Not everybody has them pierced with weird-ass sun medallions, but everybody has them. Let's grow up, huh?
