PTSIZE="10">John, I agree with you about MTV. MTV and lots of
others have pushed the envelope with regards to decency. I
also agree that the incident was not an accident. As a matter of fact, I
saw a part of Janet's apology this morning. She stated that it was not
meant to offend and she did indeed change the way the performance was supposed
to end, etc., etc. <BR><BR>I am going to file a complaint with the
AFA. But not so much because of this <U>one</U> incident. It is
because of the low level entertainment has reached period. What happened
Sunday was not good by any means; but I find the opinions and actions of
television networks, the music industry bigwigs, the Grammy Association, etc.
all "hypocritical". I find it hard to believe they are so "outraged" at
this because of what I see and hear on a regular basis on TV and the
radio. Madonna and Brittney lip locking, Christina Aguilera's nakedness
and super-sensual videos, Madonna's naked behind showing, (thong thing going
on)<BR>the explicit lyrics in gangsta rap, contestants on Big Brother having
sex on the show, ...need I go on? These people are not shocked.
They are making BIG $$$ from it...and it will continue downhill unless we make
some noise about it. This type of behavior is considered "normal"
nowadays and it will get worse because everyone wants to outdo the other guy
because <U>garbage sells in America</U>! The filthier/over the top it
is, the more attention it gets. If we take a stance against it, stop
buying the junk, stop letting our children watch and listen to it - get on our
soap box and voice our opinions about it, sign petitions for decency - I mean
MAKE SOME NOISE, maybe those of us who are pro-decency ("the squeaky wheel")
will get some attention and prayerfully get some things changed. <U>Just
"<B>my</B>" opinion folks.</U><BR><BR>God bless you abundantly today and
always!<BR><BR>"Rev. Ev"<BR><BR>P.S. - I don't think being a "Jackson" helped
her any either. </FONT></FONT></DIV>
