I have no hang-ups about nudity myself. I always thought it strange that so many people are obviously offended by the human body. Women have been sunbathing topless on my local beach for years. Nobody thinks anything of it. Brighton, just a few miles from here had the first official nudist beach in the country back in 1979. It's right next to the kiddie's playground. So what?
Not having seen this "incident" myself I can only go by what I read in the newpapers. When I first heard about it I have to admit wondering what all the fuss was about. This is the 21st century for goodness sake. It's hardly worth reporting is it?
However, the Superbowl is a typical American thing & the majority of viewers would be in America. I suppose the nearest thing we have to it would be the FA Cup Final. It's a family event & many youngsters would be watching. Even I know that & I've never watched it. Miss Jackson must have been perfectly well aware that flashing a boob would offend many viewers, especially if it was done in a sexual way. Mind you, plenty of female pop stars make overt sexual gestures in music vids without needing to remove any clothing. Nobody seems to complain about that. This stunt was obviously carefully planned in advance whatever she might say. I suspect she needed the publicity. I think that maybe she was a tad misguided but it won't do her much harm in the long run.
With all the problems in the world I'm now wondering why I bothered commenting on this in the first place. I must be getting just like all the other sad people who worry themselves sick over this sort of thing.
