OK, my only problem w/ the whole Janet Jackson thing lies solely in a woman’s clothes being torn from her body, ostensibly w/o her permission, as entertainment. That shit ain’t funny.
And let me also interject here to say that if I ever saw Peter Dinklage (The Station Agent) on the street, I’d scoop him up and eat him like a bowl of Haagen Dazs, mmmh-hmm.
Are you serious? Did you not see the snaps?
What I meant was that it was intended to appear he was tearing her clothes off. I realize it was an act, she knew it was going to happen, but it wasn’t as though she was dancing around singing about how she wanted him to forcibly remove her clothes and then he did.
Should we carry this li’l hijack over to the appropriate thread, Daddy de Bruce?
Officially LPA is witholding judgement. Among the membership, there’s a lot of controversy – certainly there’s been a lot of yelling online. I wasn’t planning on watching it anyway because I think all of those dating shows are beyond stupid.
Please, god no. I’m tired of hearing/talking about it. I gotcha. Carry on.

I have no problem slepeing at night because we still have some shred of freedom left. I expect that to die soon due to all the self-righteous assholes who feel the need to impose their system of values on everyone else. Then I’ll be losing sleep.
I’d be interested to know if the focus of advertisers for the show changes from that seen for other, similar type shows (what do you call these damn shows anyway?) If there’s an appreciable redirection of marketing, that might make for some interesting commentary, probably all negative.
