I know I have been a Bad Blogger ™ by not posting about the Janet Jackson Halftime Scandal.
Here’s my contribution:
Read this article by Marueen Turner over at Newsday.com. She hits the nail on the head, man.
This isn’t to defend the Jackson/Timberlake performance; it was tacky, and it was out of place. But let’s not kid ourselves by pretending that there was anything all that shocking about it. It was simply the next logical step in a culture that’s made sexuality – specifically, women’s sexuality – into an insanely profitable commodity. And it’s only when the threat of public censure and government fines threaten that profitability that the perpetrators suddenly find their consciences.
Thanks to Jen for passing it on to me. :)
