To be honest, I’m reluctant to even bring out into the open, so to speak.

Not that I have any worry about exposing the overly biased boobs running things at CBS, but I’m not too happy about adding a lot of head-turning and staring at an event that was so obviously started as a promotional gimick. I’m speaking of course about the half-time showing.

What the beep did the boobs at CBS expect when they get MTV to do the work of arranging the halftime? To claim innocence now strikes me as foundationally laughable. Apparently, the FCC chair … ummm…has his nipple in a wringer….. over the event this morning, as does Tagliabue.

And in any event, explain to me how Jackson ummm…. hanging out… with Timberlake is any different than the titillation that a goodly chunck of CBS’s entertainment is about. I don’t see the difference, myself.

If I’m Tagliabue, I’m arranging it so CBS doesn’t get the Superbowl for years to come. I doubt, though, he has the guts.
