"Ok, I get 'exposed' to seeing lewd conduct, and someone owes me money? Geeze, all these years I thought it was the other way around..." -- [livejournal.com profile] acroyear70, responding to news that a woman in Tennessee had filed a class action suit against Janet Jackson for the "tempest in a C-cup" Super Bowl incident.

that woman's suit...I agree with one of the local Radio Personalities. The other night they said " I should sue for the trauma inflicted on me by having to hear all this crap about her boob popping out when I never saw it."
I'm all in for that suit.:)
 
If you're not actively licking them, or anticipating licking them, or getting yours licked (and maybe nibbled or bitten.) why give a flying fuck about mere exposure? Lame.

I guess this is another thing I don't get. I hate being an alien sometimes.

You have to assume that the woman filing the suit has never seen a breast before!
She only withdrew the suit because so many people contacted her about wanting to join, she is filing a class-action suit for all of them.

Isn't that the joy of watching live tv or going to the game in the first place? You never know what'll happen. If you want it edited for children, you should preview it and let them watch it later.

yeah, but that model doesn't work for a sports event or awards show, particularly one where the results will be unavoidable in the aftermath. When you know who's going to win, because its already happened, the thrill is gone. its one of the reasons the reality shows will never be syndicated unless some "The Reality Channel" comes along to play nothing but reality shows and COPS reruns.

hey, that's a thought...

(Doonesbury quote: "BUSINESS PLAN!")

(yes, there are some exceptions that survive in reruns, like Animal Planet's King of the Jungle, and TLC and HGTV's shows, because there's always the design and learning angle that you can learn from, regardless of the "reality" factor.)

That's really an appalling thought -- a channel of nothing but reality TV. Worse, I think it would succeed. They just need a few years to build up some stock. Ick. (Then again, this is the opinion of someone who has never watched an episode of any of those shows....)
