Look, lies are lies

… and we shouldn’t be publishing them.

OK, so I am steamed that I looked away from my TV screen just long enough to miss the Janet Jackson Boob Incident, but my indignation gets even worse when I read the transparent lies of Justin Timberlake, whose official statement calls it a wardrobe malfunction.

Janet, mind you, is wearing some star-shaped thingie over her nipple … the kind of thing that could be there for only one reason I can think of: a bit of naughtiness to scandalize the folks in their living rooms.

It’s bad enough that we pretend it’s a big deal that some celebrity flashed some tit … geeze, TV and pop music are so so soaked in sex that Janet’s flash is redundant at best. Then we print these phony-baloney denials and act like they have a shred of credence.


Anybody with six working brain cells can see that MTV, producer of the halftime show, cooked this whole thing up in advance. Their denials are crap, plain and simple. What say we ignore them?
