Here's my suggestion: let them have it. Just do it. Let the sexually bitter and morally frantic conservative groups now dictating governmental policy and FCC agendas and paranoid media attitudes have their time, their brief cultural burp, their little speed bump on the great and beckoning highway that will still lead us all, inexorably, irreversibly, though often agonizingly, toward grinning open-thighed progress.
Because here's the fabulous thing: no matter what these faux-Christian groups do, no matter how hard they oppress and protest and clamp down, this is a road that leads, despite all dour headlines and sour prognostications otherwise, toward spiritual illumination, toward awareness, toward sexual openness and same-sex marriage and revelatory sodomy and free vibrators for teenage girls and lesbians kissing open mouthed in the streets. In Kentucky. In the daytime. On Sunday.
It's true. All this and more, is gonna happen. This is my belief. Superlative homemade pornography and fetish dungeons and happy dildo supermarkets and the utter brilliance of the Suicide Girls and regular people having juicy consensual reasonably kinky respectful sex like it's no big deal, and it's all a matter of time, isn't it, before it will all erupt back to the surface of the culture and spread like hot karmic butter across the land. Maybe? You think?
And when that time comes, we shall look back on Janet Jackson's Nipplegate and the Monday Night Football backlash and the shrill outcry from various conservative and religious groups against the superlative movie "Kinsey" in the same way people look back on old bunions or leg warmers and laugh and point and shake their heads and sigh.
Because right now, we seem to be stuck. Mired. Hateful and narrow and sexually small and the country is right this minute being led, morally speaking,

Funny, same thing happened to me but I decided to see if you were going to find it on your own. You never disappoint!
I don't think so. That was dealt with initially in Star Trek years ago. It is the crassness and inappropriateness of both incidents which make my nose crinkle.
I hope it was as good for you as it was for me. :D
This is actually one of his more wholesome pieces.
Oh yeah, that's what everybody wants, they should put that in the DNC platform, print T-shirts and snazzy bumper stickers of it, make it their top issue in '08.
Funny you said "Miss Morford". He probably does the catchin' on his 'team'.
This is great!
Many Utopian revolutions start with fantasies of free sex (which used to be called free love). Even the Russian Revolution advocated this at the beginning -- and then they found that none of the Young Komsomols were settling down and breeding more Young Pioneers, and discipline was very slack. A few words from Lenin, and suddenly things got very strict. Freedom of any kind had a very short run in the USSR. Still, the USSR was the first country to legalize abortion (1920), and to this day Russia has more abortions than live births. It is a very sick society. That is why I keep telling you all: NEVER, NEVER, NEVER trust the Russians!
We still have a chance to save our society -- and San Francisco and similar areas have a great chance to destroy theirs.
What most amuses me about liberals is their media-induced belief that their opponents are up-tight and unhappy. Actually, all you need to do is compare postings on various different websites, and you will observe that the conservative sites are more confident, humorous, and at the same time serious. The liberals are paranoid, degenerate, and have trouble making or understanding a joke. Paradoxically, that is what makes them so funny. They are so totally unrealistic, it is very sad -- but at the same time one cannot resist the laughter engendered by witnessing true looniness.
"It is never easy. Americans must often be dragged, kicking and screaming, into the future"
Ah, The devil himself telling us exactly what his sexual plans are for our children! Great balls of fire, what is that I see coming from the Heavens?
No.
It didn't even occur to me in either scenario. I heard a discussion on cable recently about the MNF incident and they brought up the interracial aspect of the intro and I thought "Oh, yeah, I hadn't noticed".
Really.
What had people upset was the explicit sexuality. It wasn't Janet's breast being exposed, I always point out. It was Timberlake's aggressive exposure of it and the whole routine leading up to him stripping her.
Same with the MNF skit being sexually explicit.
No, I'm sorry, but race has nothing to do with it. Most of us didn't even take notice of that part.

Seriously, listen to the contempt and hatred in Morford's line, all from the people who have spent fifty years preaching "tolerance" to us, at least that we should tolerate every deviant thing they come up with. It is oh so true that to these people, their sexuality is EVERYTHING they are...it pervades every thought, word, and deed. If you disagree with the practice on a religious or moral ground, you are no longer given their tolerance, because to disapprove of this thing they do is to them to disapprove of their core...it is everything they are. And then they no longer tolerate YOU, you Midwestern, cave-dwelling, stupid, confused Republican voter!
The central theme behind all of his opinions seems to be that he's mortally afraid that some mean old Bush supporter is going to make him stop having gay sex.
Hey Marky! You'd be surprised how many of us don't really give a rat's ass about your personal sexual preferences or what you do with other men down at the waterfront late Saturday nights.
Ya creep me out anyway. I think you should be bombarded with lots of detailed descriptions of the joys of heterosex, and Ozzie and Harriet lifestyles, just so you'd understand how your opinions ring with normal people.
We KNOW you are a freak! You don't have to tell us about it every day.
Only if they are two hot lesbians. No butch girls and NO gay guys. We Kentuckians are VERY selective in the types of immorality we allow. LOL
But now that you mention it, I do have to wonder why the perpetrators of both incidents, white and black, were so willing to play into outdated miscegenation stereotypes. Justin Timberlake, white boy, takin' what he wants from a black woman, isn't that nice and original. And Nicolette Sheridan might as well have said "Pleasure me, Mandingo!" to that ballplayer whose name escapes me.
That is pretty sick, but on the part of the performers---not the people who objected to the performance.
Morford would claim that is because their expectations are so low. ;)
He's probably into kinkier things: like having sex with dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, etc.
"Only if they are two hot lesbians. No butch girls and NO gay guys. We Kentuckians are VERY selective in the types of immorality we allow. LOL"
An unusually tall Korean/American stripper once expressed interest in having a threesome with my girlfriend and I. I was very intrigued.
A short, fat and very drunk Trailer Park type proposed the same thing, I was very offended.
It is all in the packaging I guess. :)
The older I get, the more I admire (flawed but human) Martin Luther King. I too dream of a color-blind society where every person is judged upon the contents of his heart and head. What a shame that what passes for black leaders today are more racist than the Klan, and won't let America forget about racism, which I honestly think we could if they would spend more time acting like Bill Cosby and encouraging their people to act responsibly, get a good education, and act like families.
Ghandi freed his people from British oppression not by whining about how oppressed they were and that they could never achive, but by encouraging them to be responsible humans that impressed the British and shamed them into acting responsibly towards them. I think we would be a color-blind society today if black "leaders" did the same to their followers, rather than blaming everything on everybody else. I have observed far more black racists in my forty-plus years than I have seen white racists.
There was a radio personality a few years ago who was being beaten up over the "Reparations" movement. He made the following statement: "I will give you and your friends a thousand dollars each for every day you have been a slave, and a thousand dollars each for every day I have ever owned slaves."
I dream of the day MLK dreamed of.
So he's a pervert AND a communist.
I don't think so. My hubby is far from a prude and he was watching the half-time show with the kids (11/12) when he saw it. I think that the part that he wasn't pleased about was that there was no opportunity to do *anything* to prevent them seeing a stripshow. The kids were more shocked and scandalized than we were and it bugged him that now we had to have a "talk" with the kids when there should've been no need.
And all that from an ultra-nonreligious agnostic who just loves his kids.
