Way to go, Janet & Justin!

What started as a publicity stunt is now a catalyst for more censorship in the USA.

"Sources say Janet's been told her services are no longer needed at the Grammys. This comes just a day after Janet made an emotional videotaped apology in which she admitted she purposely planned the reveal at the Super Bowl half time show.

CBS wants to use up to a five-minute delay at the Grammys to edit out anything X-rated that might happen.

Variety says ABC also wants to start using a five-second delay to make sure nothing dirty gets out. Variety says ABC first considered the delay even before Janet Jackson bared her breast at the Super Bowl. It was Bono's use of the F-word at the Golden Globes that got them thinking about it."

Great, just what we needed.

Here's an opinion from a professor of law at Columbia University: "the First Amendment provides that "Congress shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of speech." How, then, can the FCC impose fines on the halftime performers and broadcasters, as it has threatened to do?"
