It. Was. A. Breast.
Feb. 2nd, 2004 01:25 pmDamn Near Every single child in this nation has seen at least two breasts. His or Her Mother's. Janet Jackson's exposure, whether it was intentional, or no, is nothing that shocking, except to this extraordinarily repressed nation. It was kind of humourous, and entertaining, to see the look on her face, and, yes, the initial upset and blowing the whole thing out of proportion was good for some giggles, but you know what? Who cares?
This nation needs, above all else, a more progressive, educational, and open attitude toward sex. A lot of young people do the exact things they do, and get knocked up, because of it, because no one is properly explaining these things, to them. Certain ideas are taboo (certain ones always will be), and, as long as things like sex before marriage, public nudity, &c., are seen as horrid by the overly violent population at large, "rebillious youths" will do them. Flock to them. Search them out.
Fucking think, people. It's simple psychology.
Bah.

Someone, somewhere might consider all nudity to be smut, whereas someone else actually understands what the difference is supposed to be. Y'know, in the sense of, say...one man's Venus de Milo might be another man's Paris Hilton sex tape.
But then, judging by most reactions to nudity that I've seen other people have (and that I had when I was younger) I guess it seems a bit sensible.

Date: 2004-02-02 07:52 pm (UTC)But either way, I dont' think a change in our attitude towards sex is what this nation needs "above all else." I think food for the hungry, shelter for the homeless, better educational systems, scholarships, and crime prevention are all a lot more important than whether or not people want to be puritanical about seeing people's naughty bits. :p
