    I know a certain judge who will still pay $120 for a particular pair of breasts.

    If he thinks that the breasts are flavorless, he doesn't know how to roast a chicken.

    @mattchew03: They're probably talking about boneless, skinless breasts which are usually pretty flavorless. It used to be a novelty meat cut for stir-frys and then the price tripled as it became the health conscious protein choice. I saw the price had dropped from $6.99 a pound to $2.99 when I was at the grocery store last weekend and I thought it was some kind of low-grade dodgy chicken being sold. Guess not...

    The absence of breasts hasn't been ignored to this degree since that March 10, 1977 party at Jack Nicholson's house.

    We met a nice butcher yesterday. He told us that we could buy chicken breasts for about half the price down the aisle with all the other packaged meat, and that the ones in the display case come from the same shipment as the ones all packaged up. Tonight, SHNITZEL!

    @daveyjonesisdead: I think a 3,500 word comment might not be appreciated, especially when most of those are cultural studies buzzwords repeated ad nauseum. But I can post the conclusion:

    "Clearly, Janet Jackson’s halftime performance was tasteless and imprudent. This assertion cannot be disputed. The entire routine was lacking in class or subtlety, but then again, so is contemporary popular culture. While Jackson’s motivations are certainly understandable and legitimate, she unthinkingly chose the wrong audience for her stunt, failing to make the distinction between the always racy MTV Music Video Awards and the more wholesome Super Bowl. CBS and the NFL have every right to be furious at both Janet Jackson and MTV, to uninvite Jackson from the Grammy Awards and to refrain from allowing MTV to produce another halftime show in the future. Similarly, viewers have every right to be disappointed in CBS. This does not mean that the FCC and politicians should step in and impose their own standards on the American public. Broadcasters and performers have the right to free speech, and Americans have the right to be exposed to all ideologies and subsequently create their own meanings, rather than have Michael Powell and the government chose a dominant ideology on their behalf and deprive them of anything they might find offensive. Perhaps consumers need to be offended from time to time in order to encourage active consumption and negotiation rather than passive consumption and cultural domination."

    Good God. We're still talking about this?! Glen Beck's practically allowed to hang people in effigy while he showcases his nutterdom with maniacal crying jags and the damn near schizoid ramblings of the insanely demonic, and still, we're discussing Janet's 40 year old boob? Yes, clearly that's the boob that will bring anarchy and the fall of man, and we'll just ignore that other one who spirals into yet another crazed, frothing pit of racist dumbfuckery nightly. Thanks, FCC. Glad you're on top of that whole renegade boob thing.
