IMHO,
The whole episode has just pushed into the face of middle America what has been happening in our culture: sex sells.
Ma and Pa were horrified at Janet's boob and gyrations, but that is common fare on BET, MTV, VH1, etc. Heck, we even are getting shots of flesh on prime time (asses on NYBlue and boobs on ER).
Sex is regularly used to sell beer, cigarettes and fast cars.
But now, with the "boob" incident, people are suddenly surprised.
All of this just reinforces the conclusion I came to several years ago: America is schizophrenic regarding sex.
