A List a Day

Weapon of Mammary Destruction
As Tit Week continues, Maureen Dowd gets credit for that great header. Elsewhere the fall out from Janet Jackson's "wardrobe failure" keeps growing:

1. Janet Jackson will not appear at the Grammys after CBS retracted her invitation. She was scheduled to introduce a tribute to Luther Vandross. In classic blame the victim fashion, Justin Timberlake, he who ripped the bodice, is still scheduled to perform.

2. Showing that a good old fashion boob beats manufactured lesbianism or terrorism any day, the breast baring is now the most popular Internet search of all time, according to Lycos, which apparently some people stuck in some sort of 1998 time wrinkle are still using for Web searches.

3. Timberlake's fellow N*Syncer J.C. Chasez, who was scheduled to perform at halftime of this weekend's Pro Bowl game, has been replaced. Chasez, whose act was to include him simulating sex with a goat and taking a leak on an American flag, will be replaced by a cadre of hula dancers, drummers, conch shell blowers and local Hawaiian singers.

4. Tonight's episode of "ER" will no longer feature a titillating scene in which all three of the show's viewers under the age of 18 would have seen a two-second glimpse of an 80-year-old woman's breast.

5. Guaranteeing that what little spontaneity might still exist in the world of television is further neutered, the Grammys,the Oscars, and even the NBA All-Star Game, will be shown on a seven-second delay, much to the consternation of those of use who like to turn down Billy Crystal and listen to Whoopi Goldberg on the radio.

6. AOL users will have to venture into (shudder) the big old scary Internet itself to see themselves some of those boobs everyone keeps talking about because the service is canceling its deal to stream on demand the entire Super Bowl XXXVIII Halftime Show, which was sponsored by AOL..

7. I guess a Sex Pistols reunion will be one of the first ideas rejected for next year's halftime show.
