Ron ..... I think you know that I am referring to Timberlake and Jackson .... and from everything I have read, including their own statements, this was their doing. That is not to excuse or alibi CBS and MTV. They knew full well that their "stars" would try to garner ratings, and were aiming at the younger audience. They knew that Nelly would grab his penis ..... and condoned, even encouraged it. They were hoping, IMO, for controversy as we all know that is good for business/ratings. That is the reason, IMO, that Jackson and Timberlake felt OK with their decision. Now they are trying to set up the "plausible deniability" gambit.

Busting Timberlake and Jackson would be like busting the street level narcotics dealer. Makes you feel better, but does nothing to resolve the real issue, and that is money.

I repeat..........nudity is not the issue. The message is the issue.
