MORE BREAST BEATING: Janet can go to the Grammys after all - but both she and Justin have to apologise. A-fucking-gain. An apology on live TV or their careers might be permanently derailed? Joe McCarthy, you should be alive at this hour. Meanwhile, as the fire of outrage consumes the dry kindling of probity, and the firemen of sense struggle with the hospipe of perspective, there's more: an Orange County, California school cancelled plans to allow MTV to film a docusoap on campus because of the Janet Breast exposure (why?); a Tennessee woman is suing Jackson, Timberlake, MTV, CBS and Viacom for billions. Terri Carlin issued her demands claiming she'd been injured, outraged, and embarrassed by the breach of an implied contract. Don't they put people in prison for bringing vexatious litigation any more? I mean, where did she get this idea? Since she lives in Tennessee it's unlikely she'd have been inspired by the gold-digging Cilla off Corrie, is it? If someone feels a bit angry and ashamed and outraged by her action, perhaps they'd like to counterclaim? And if people are so shocked and outraged, how come so many Americans have been playing it back over and over on TiVo?. Need to keep refreshing their outrage levels?
