Boob 'em Dano.

Like something in a B-horror flick, Janet Jackson's radioactive right breast has morphed into the monster that's eating Hollywood.
In the past 24 hours:
• Jackson's name was stricken from the official list of presenters for Sunday's Grammy Awards telecast on CBS. That's the same network that beamed us the Super Bowl game during which Jackson's breast made its broadcast TV debut in a stunt that duet partner Justin Timberlake called a "wardrobe malfunction." According to one source close to the production, CBS and the Recording Academy are waiting for her to graciously bow out; if she does not soon, they will uninvite her.
• ABC announced it will initiate a five-second delay on its live telecast of the Academy Awards so it can censor any "wardrobe malfunctions" or Bono-esque "[expletive] brilliant" moments.
• The NFL canceled this weekend's Pro Bowl halftime show starring Timberlake's fellow 'N Sync-er JC Chasez because it was afraid of his choice of songs -- "Blowing Me Up (With Her Love)" -- and the accompanying choreography. Chasez has been replaced with "Hawaiian-themed entertainment."
• NBC cut from tonight's "ER" episode a shot of an exposed breast of an 80-year-old woman receiving emergency care, even though the network says it thinks the shot is appropriate.
Before Jackson's Super Bowl appearance, she had been lined up to introduce a Grammy tribute to Luther Vandross, who is recovering from a stroke and who the Grammy producers hoped would be well enough to attend the ceremony.
Vandross is no longer expected to appear. Jackson isn't either, according to the source close to the production. Her name is missing from a news release issued earlier in the day by Grammy organizers that lists the show's celebrity hosts, presenters and performers.
Though she apologized for her Super Bowl performance via videotape -- aired by various syndicated celebrity-driven TV shows last night -- as of late yesterday she had not withdrawn as a Grammy presenter. CBS declined to comment. A Recording Academy rep also declined to comment.
Timberlake is still on the official Grammy list of hosts, presenters and performers.
Also yesterday, ABC notified the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences that it will, for the first time, use a five-second delay on its Oscar broadcast in order to be able to bleep out inappropriate language.

The truth has emerged about the real source of our Hooywarped adversaries and their obsessions, a truth I've been preaching for ages. People like the Clintons and the liberal gangs, are motivated not by principle -- except that they worship the god of abortion -- but a deep and abiding hatred for all things Christian and conservative.
We must begin to place Follywood liberals and their acolytes in their proper context: We need to wake up America to the hate crimes Hollywarped lowlifes are pepertrating on America. Follywood is part and parcel of the hate cabal that is rampaging America to annihiliate religion and religious principles and remove symbols from public places.
Significantly, these depraved, deceptive individuals use high-faluting legal words to disguise their hatred. The hate-filled bigots loathe humanity. They hate religion. They hate religious people.
Hate-mongering liberals are law-breakers who are infringing on American citizens' constitutional rights.
The hidden agenda of the religio-phobic libs--despite their high-sounding legal arguments--is to decimate all references to morality, and subjugate people who espouse moral principles.
In their small, inferior, insular minds, morality equates to dreaded sectarian religious beliefs.
How very successful they have been.
Everyday we see the haters' destructive results as we experience the unimaginable crimes, and the collapse of a once-thriving culture's moral underpinnings.
The haters are getting what they wanted: destruction of the moral bulwark of Western Civilization.
Chasez has been replaced with "Hawaiian-themed entertainment."Virgins sacrificed to Volcano gods would be apt.
A re-enactment of the indigenous peoples' clubbing of the evil white male Captain Cook.
Yah, maybe topless in grass skirts, doing Kaluha rap and some simulated fertility rituals for good measure.
Rap performances and music ought to be banned from U.S. sporting events.
Virgins sacrificed to Volcano gods would be apt.
Hollyweird actors and actresses sacrificed to Volcano gods would be more appropriate.
From the article:
This is an example of censorship. There is no way to sugarcoat it
I cannot fathom why entertainment producers scream censorship when their disgusting products simply are not purchased by consumer-supported media outlets. It is not censorship when a privately-owned network tells panderers of entertainment, "We don't like it. Change it or get out of my office."
I'm hoping for topless hula girls in grass skirts.
And is ANYONE in Hollywood actually re-thinking their stance on this? "Hey, maybe the public doesn't like this. Maybe there's a backlash. Maybe I'll lose money. Maybe I shouldn't include bestiality in my next music video ..."
Anyone thinking like that? No? [shrug] didn't think so.
What makes you think that Chasez, Timberlake, Jackson, et al. are virgins?
