So, it wasn't an assault because it was consensual? Whether it was predetermined by JJ and JT alone, or with the approval of the powers is material only to those seeking or avoiding blame. The end result is that it was in poor taste in a time and place where many impressionable young minds were watching. Not that we should be surprised mind you, considering what passes for acceptable behavior in general society and among its leaders, including the TV Gods.

But for heaven's sake, can't this immature, self-impressed, egomaniacal, ill-considered behavior be kept outside of the daytime/primetime slots? Or has money, hype, ego, and image entirely eclipsed good judgement?

What price values?

Peace, Mooh.
