Hmmmm...... we have a great mixture of posts. ....... People saying there's a pastie and that it's no big deal and then the ones that get me the most, the ones where people get outraged that such a stunt would happen.

Let's delve shall we........

First, anyone watching it live even on a big screen truly had no idea what they saw........ the event happened so fast that unless you knew it was coming you had an idea that something happened and saw a blurb but you did not see what these close up blown up pictures are showing.

Secondly, for those of you who may not know such ladies, a nipple ring such as Janet is seen wearing is for pleasure during usually private love sessions (it is supposed to enhance the woman's pleasure), the design is common as a tatoo.

Thirdly, for anyone that would be outraged at such a publicity stunt, my question is why? We live in a commercial society where by the pure fact that our nation is geared for thriving on scandal, it should surprise noone. Scandal sells, sex sells...... we have become a country that can't wait for the next scandal. Checkout the rags and see how thier sales increase everytime there's a great scandal. (this was not a a great scandal except for those making it out to be).

Finally, perhaps it's time we allow nudity on tv. We are a country still governed by Puritanistic religious self righteous zealots, who would destroy all our freedoms so that they can have more power. I find it amazing how certain of these men can sit there and claim to preach Christ's word yet be so condemning of others that they have lost sight of Christ's true words. If Christ were here right now which evil do you think he'd find more offensive, Gangsta Rap promoting violence, movies promoting violence where blood spews all over and the "good guy" kills everyone in sight (all rated PG13 and shown on tele all the time with NO remorse shown) OR would he find someone being naked or love making where 2 people are sharing thier most precious intimate feelings with one another (rated R or quite possibly XXx and not shown on tv except late at night on premium or pay-per-view stations)?

In the end WE, ALL, sell ourselves for a few ounces gold and the promise of a better life. We are all sluts, gigalos and ammoral if it comes to putting food on our table or maintaining a life for which we are accustomed to. And anyone who says they aren't, or condemns another for publicly giving what the people want, is a hypocrite.

Have peace, have faith, have love,

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
