Janet Jackson, covered

10 comments on Janet Jackson, covered

Janet Jackson, covered
: She appears on Letterman with her infamous breasts puffed with pride. Dave leers: “Now, that’s almost malfunctioning, isn’t it?”

She has her navel framed in metal (and for all I know, she has that steel pastey on still). I’ve heard of rubber fetishes. Even latex. But metal?

Dave keeps trying and trying to interview her. “Why are we talking about this, Dave,” she exasperates.

She: “It was so embarrassing for me to have so many people see this little breast.”

He: “Well….”

: UPDATE: From the comments. Janet Jackson was bleeped when she said “Jesus.”

Aw, Jesus, this is getting ridiculous.

    It’s late and I don’t care what goes on w/in reason after 10 PM – it’s around 6 PM that I care.
    For example, yesterday, TNT showed What Women Want – and Prick was said before 6 PM CST.
    Since I never really saw the movie, and was just surfing and you guys are all for free speech, would any of you care to explain to my 6 y.o. what it is????
    Please, look my 6 y.o. in her eyes and tell her why it’s important she hears that word, but why it really shouldn’t be used. Because she asked what it means.
    If we know it’s coming we can change the channel. It’s the stuff we don’t know is coming that gets some riled.
    Don’t complain about society becoming baser, more uncouth and decry the loss of civility on one hand yet don’t draw a line in the sand on the other hand.
    And don’t complain/be offended when a child comes up and calls you it to your face. It is not cute, it is not funny. It’s a sign of no respect.

    And shall we discuss the shows available at 31K feet when one is on the way to Orlando w/a 4 y.o.???
    The stew said the same thing. I pointed out to her I’m at 31K feet, what am I supposed to do? Vegas it was appropriate for, not to Orlando.

    I was listening to the radio today, half asleep, and I thought I heard someone say that on Letterman, Jackson said “Jesus!” and it was bleeped out.
    Was that a joke, or true?

    This says it’s true. Heh, I ran straight here when I saw this headline too. Rich, creamy irony.

    Not only should they be bleeped when they say the name of Our Lord, I think any member of the Jackson family should be publicly whipped.
    Except they’d like that. After all, it happens in front of an audience.

    Watching television, period, isn’t imprtant for a six year old. Perhaps we should abolish television entirely.

    It’s getting to that point, Kurt, no TV for anyone.
    At least we won’t have to listen to the pols.

    There is very little reason for adults to watch teevee, and none for children, unless you have decided that you prefer your offspring develop no more intellectual ability than the average turnip.

    Now there’s a high-brow intellectual comment for you. Deride an entire medium without acknowledging its good, useful information (and entertainment) that you can’t get elsewhere.
    Should one not listen to radio because Howard Stern is on the air?
    I went a year-and-a-half without TV and still don’t have cable (both by choice), but it’s unserious not to recognize the good with the bad. If one is intellectually curious one can find a number of informative shows, if one is not, there are a number of choices.

    See, Andrea, it’s not that most TV sucks, it’s all -your- fault ’cause you’re not “intellectually curious”. /sarcasm
