No I am not outraged over the Janet Jackson-Justin Timberlake derobing, something Timberlake called a "wardrobe malfunction." Although the FCC says they are. Outraged, that is. What I am outraged about is that the ENTIRE halftime show consisted of women ripping their clothes off while lyrics about sex became increasingly more explicit (not to mention hard to understand but that could just be a sign that I'm officially old.) Who could buy this publicity? Though Tom Shales came close, I haven't seen one mention of my outrage in the media. Show a boob and you get the whole world's attention. Degrade and humilate woman and it's art. Sigh.

And CBS had the nerve to turn down MoveOn.org's commercial blasting George Bush? What -- it didn't have any sexual references or dysfunctional animals in it? What in god's name is wrong with this picture?

Update (Feb. 5): I've been waiting for the press to catch up. Here's a good one.
