It's not hilarious anymore. All the tut-tutting that is coming in response to Janet's boob has taken all the passing fun out and turned the thing mega-annoying and given it 'lasting consequences'. Pontificators are damn creeps. So much lame-arsing abounds. There's all this very strong language about how "stupid and obnoxious" the stunt was, and "I don't consider myself conservative but enough already" for the sake of the kids, etc. Grrrr. Calm down, people! Who cares what this might mean for society. As if it means anything at all! Jesus! What the fuck could it possibly have to do with your world-view? It's just a frickin boob. It was just a frickin moment. It doesn't have anything to do with you! What is with the unrestrained heaping of scorn!!? Ergh. The Worst Response of the Day award goes to Matt Lauer. He finished up an interview with some magazine lady about the 'implications' of the boob-reveal by shaking his head and saying, [in a disapproving, "I give up", tone],
"Just think. 40 years ago we were shocked by the Beatles' haircuts. Now this."
Pffffffff. The lost fucking innocence of yesteryear.
