The Booby Lawsuit

You know, I wasn’t even going to do a blog today, but dammit, I just had to. I don’t like to stick to an issue for too long, it tends to get a little boring, but sometimes stupidity overrules that decision and I have to make an exception. There is still all of this fallout from the Janet Jackson booby at the Superbowl thing going on here. You know, fuck the FCC and everyone else that is going to go after this which brings me to what I have to bitch about today.

Terri Carlin. You know, with a last name like Carlin, I kind of had higher hopes for you. Terri has decided to file a lawsuit in a U.S. District Court and asked that it become a class-action suit against singers Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake and broadcasters MTV, CBS and their parent company, Viacom. Carlin alleges that she and others who watched the halftime show during Sunday’s Super Bowl were injured by the performers’ actions when Timberlake ripped off part of Jackson’s costume, exposing her breast. Carlin’s lawsuit seeks billions of dollars in compensatory and punitive damages. Her Attorney for this also said that because the game is broadcast worldwide, that the actions harmed the “standing and credibility” of Americans throughout the world.

Number one, you say you were injured? How in the fuck were you injured? I guess I don’t quite understand this frivolous lawsuit. You’re a woman and I’m only guessing but I think you probably see breasts everyday when you are getting dressed in the morning? Is that offensive to you too? Don’t go off suing yourself or anything. Number two, who in the fuck appointed you to stand up and decide what is decent or not? If you are so offended by sexual conduct but you had no problems with all of the violence that surrounds a football game then maybe you should spend your money on a shrink instead of an attorney. Number three. This is the big one. The actions harmed the “standing and credibility” of Americans throughout the world???????

Have you been watching the fucking television lately? The President of the United States took us into a war where he pretty much told the United Nations to go fuck themselves and the entire basis of his war is now being found out to be lies and over-exaggerations and you think the showing of a boob for 1 second and Nelly dry humping some half naked bitches on stage harmed our credibility? We don’t have any credibility left. Swallow that with your fucking freedom fries.

Since we’re filing frivolous lawsuits, I think I should sue you for adding yet another stupid lawsuit to the American Justice System. It’s shit like this that destroys our credibility. Every time something happens that we don’t like, we think we should sue over it. Oh no, my ass got too big from eating fast food, better sue Mc Donald’s. Uh, my lung just collapsed from smoking too much, better sue Marlboro. The grocery store ran out of the ad item and I went all the way across town to buy some, better sue them. What happened wasn’t right, and it didn’t belong on prime time television. You’re right on that part, but here’s the kicker. You don’t deserve any money out of this. Well, maybe a quarter so you can buy a clue.
