"People were irate about the breast being exposed"

Really? Are you sure about that?

Do you know how many millions of people watched that Super Bowl here in the United States? Do you know how many people complained? Of the people who complained, do you know how many were part of an orchestrated campaign to register complaints?

There is a Time Magazine poll that shows that 65% of the public believe the response to Jackson's other boob (not her brother) was an over reaction.

You can look it all up.

Nipplegate was turned into a controversy by the FCC and the Parents Television Council - a conservative watchdog group. The media had a field day.   The conservatives lapped it up and turned our rights into a farce, and now censorship has everyone running scared. However, that does not mean that everyone - or the majority agrees with this.   One small mind can change policy, but that does not change reality.
