If you're reading this, you're missing the second half of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, an hour-long musical extravaganza dedicated to the 99.9 percent of the female body that can be exposed on American network teleivison without eroding our morals. You know the parts I'm referring to, right?
1) The Forbidden Flesh, an area the approximate size of a cat's paw at the the front of the panties area.
2) The myserious Demon's Dots at the tip of each female breast. It used to be generally assumed that we American TV viewers could see all of the breast except for the actual nipples without damage to our children's moral values. Janet Jackson confused the issue by covering her nipples with decorative jewelry before flashing her SuperBowl half-time audience. In so doing, Jackson made us question whether covering the nipples might be just as bad as exposing them, if by covering them we make boys wonder what the nipples would look like naked.
It was the implication of nipples, and not the nipples themselves, that cost the Superbowl broadcasters an FCC fine and so terrified the commercial networks that the producers of ER edited a shot of a patient's breasts out of a breast-cancer episode.
Further confusing the matter, should your children be considering a future with the Federal Communications Commission, is the fact that CBS is broadcasting close-ups of breasts clad in little more than the wire frame that holds them up, a puff of nude-colored maribou feathers, and some glitter. Since the nipples are covered, just barely, aren't they implicity naked?
Thought: children whose innocence was shattered by less than two seconds of Janet Jackson's implicitly exposed nipples are now two years older - many of them old enough to watch the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show with their dads. Meanwhile, their flat-chested pre-adolescent sisters cower in their bedrooms, plotting diet strategies and adding push-up bras to their Christmas wish lists.
A lot of girls will ask Santa for the Jason Timberlake song that opened tonight's fashion show. More likely to be disappointed are girls who wish for a pair of the lipstick-red latex thigh-high boots that were marching up the runway when Timberlake sang the line, "If you're bad I'll whip you."
As for me, my Puritan DNA is now battling my inner porn fan for the TV remote. One of us wants to chastise sinners. The other wants to taunt that one, strip naked and run down the street in nothing but a smile and a pink feather boa.
I'm so confused!
