    My darling Feast of F***** I have been a poor listener and haven’t tuned in for a few months. I am studying abroad in Hong Kong and missed you guys. Listening to your show brings me closer to home. Are there any listeners in HK? If so hit me up 🙂

    Cheers guys!

  2. I wish people would stop saying “Janet Jackson exposed her breast.” Justin Timberlake was the one that ripped the clothing, yet he walked away with no punishment. Whether or not the act was intentional, it still angers me that Janet received all of the blame and her career has never been the same. I personally don’t think it was intentional. Who would want to ruin their career like that?

    • I think they both decided to do that, and I don’t really care. The FCC just used it as an excuse to crack down on folks they didn’t like, I saw it as a political statement of censorship, not really one of artistic expression.

      Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake’s careers are doing just fine.

      • Justin’s is doing well, but Janet’s has suffered majorly. She hasn’t had a single do well on Billboard since 2001. Does that really matter? Maybe not, but that is one of the major factors that shows how successful musical acts are doing. Oh well. My girl Janet will get it back soon.

      • So you think the only reason why Janet’s music isn’t selling as well as it could is because of breastgate?

        i dont think people who bought her music before really cared about nipple gate. maybe she doesn’t have a career today because she hasn’t made any good music since the super bowl performance.

  3. I think it has a lot to do with it. Some of the music hasn’t been as good as her past work, I will admit that. But considering the backlash she suffered just in the general media coverage after it happened, I think it’s a definite factor.

    • But do you think Janet was 100% innocent in the “wardrobe malfunction”? It didn’t seem that way to me. For example, why did she have jewelry on? And why did she stand there exposing her breast instead of rapidly putting her hand over it like most people would have done? It looked like she thought she was being very avant garde (with Justin’s help of course)

      • When I watch it, she looks down to see what happened. In the unaired footage, you see her cover up and she has this look of horror on her face. I can’t explain the nipple shield, only that I know she’s into wearing that kind of stuff.

        I didn’t intend to start a big debate on this LOL. I guess that, for me as a big fan of hers, it always bugged me that people still bring it up and seem to place all of the blame on her. Oh well.

    Luckily it became more acceptable for men to wear some make-up. I usually don’t leave the house without some concealer, make-up and during the winter some bronze powder. 🙂

    I love Vickie Shaw! I hope you are able to get her on the show — she’s just as awesome in person as she is on the stage.
