Victoria's Secret to Drop TV Fashion Show
1 hour, 56 minutes ago

By MARK WILLIAMS, AP Business Writer

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Victoria's Secret is dropping its nationally televised fashion show this year, at least partly because of criticism following Janet Jackson (news)'s breast-baring faux pas at the Super Bowl.

JESUS CHRIST!!!

This is seriously getting out of hand. What next, Baywatch? Man this really blows. Someone needs to smack all these people who get so offended around.

Hey man, just don't blame 'the right' for this... we're human too! And in case you never watch Fox News, they always give a full in-depth review of the VS shows :)

Janet Jackson's actions were uncalled for, and certainly not wanted at the superbowl. But the worst part is that now, thanks to this, it's spoiling the fun for everyone, with five second delays on live programing and such.

Forgive me for not following, but how would five seconds delay interefere with your television habits? And if it is such a loss, change the law, not the television broadcasting procedure.

And again, are bare breated men allowed?

Five second delays change nothing. It's just that the good programs (like the Oscars) aren't really live, anymore. I guess I'm just complaining that they never used to do it.
And are bare breasted men allowed? Yes, but on the big networks (ABC, NBC and CBS), they usually only get late night.

The difference is, however, that the picture is on the internet, where acess can be controlled by parental controls, or cyber filters. Ever wonder why 60% of all internet traffic is to porn sites?
Anyhow, TV is different. Anyone can watch it. That's why any and all nudity is either shown on a.) extremely high channels, or b.) late at night.

AN OPEN LETTER TO JOHN ASHCROFT, ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE UNITED
STATES......

On January 28, 2002, Attorney General John Ashcroft announced that
he spent
$8,000 of taxpayer's money for drapes to cover up the exposed breast
of The
Spirit of
Justice, an 18 ft aluminum statue of a woman that stands in the
Department of
Justice's Hall of Justice.

John, John, John, you've got your priorities all wrong.
While men fly airplanes into skyscrapers, dive bomb the Pentagon,
while they stick explosives into their shoes, and then book a seat
right next
to us, while they hide knives in their luggage, steal kids on school
buses,
take little girls from their beds at night, drive trucks into our
state
capital buildings, while our President calls dangerous men all over
the world
evildoers and devils,
while we live in the threat of biological warfare, nuclear
destruction, annihilation,
You are out buying yardage to save Americans from the appalling
alarming,
abominable aluminum alloy of evil, that terrible ten foot tin tittie.


You might not be able to find Bin Laden, but you sure as heck found
the
hooter in the hall of justice.

It's not that we aren't grateful, but while we were begging the
women of
Afghanistan to not cover up their faces, you are begging your staff
members
to just cover up that nipple to save the American people from that
monstrous
metal mammary. How can we ever thank you?

So, in your office every morning, in your secret prayer meeting,
while an American woman is sexually assaulted every 6 seconds,
while anthrax floats around the post office, settling in the chests
of senior
citizens,
you've got another chest on your mind.

While American sons arrive home in body bags and heat seeking
missiles fly
around a foreign country looking for any warm body, you think of
another
body.

And you pray for the biggest bra in the world, John, because you see
that
breast on the spirit of justice in the spirit of your own inhibited
sexuality.

And when we women see our grandmothers, our mothers, our daughters,
our
granddaughters, our sisters, ourselves,
when we women see that statue--the Spirit of Justice--we see the
spirit of
strength--the spirit of survival.

While every day we view innocent bodies dragged out of rubble and
women and
children laid out like thin limp dolls and baptized into death as
collateral
damage
and the hollow eyed Afghani mother's milk has dried up underneath
her burka
in famine and her children are dead at her breast.

While you look at that breast, John--that jug on the spirit of
justice and
deal with your thoughts of lust and sex and nakedness, we see it as
a
testimony to motherhood.
And you see it as a tit.

It's not the money it cost.
It's the message you send.

We've got the right to live in freedom.
We've got the right to cheat Americans out of millions of dollars
and then
just not want to tell Congress about it.
We've got the right to drop bombs night and day on a small country
that has
no army, no navy, no military at all, because we've got the right to
bear
arms.

But we just better not even think about the right to bare breasts.

So now, John, you can be photographed while you stand there and talk
about
guns and bombs and poisons without the breast appearing over your
right
shoulder.
Without that bodacious bosom bothering you.

And we just wanted to tell you
in the spirit of justice
in the spirit of truth ...

John, there is still one very big boob left standing there in that
picture.

I'm sure you've heard of Justin Timberlake. Anyhow, towards the end of their halftime show, he ripped Janet Jackson's bra, and her boob showed. They later admitted that they were both in on it.

Here's an idea- take a little responsibility for your children! The TV is not a babysitter! If you're worried about you children's television habits, maybe you should monitor them instead of trying to force everyone else into a nannystate.

Families were watching that. While I myself would have no problem if she stripped on TV with Timberlake, I know that a lot of people would be very offended by it.
