Most of you prolly know what this term is used for these days. During that show-event called the Super Bowl where before and after it, some people play a bit of american football ( :wink: ), Janet Jackson revealed her nipple, boob, whatever.
America is in shock, grammies and oscars will be broadcast with a bit of delay so that they could cut it out of anything like that would happen there.
My reaction to it is more like: "so what". For starters i can imagine that nobody would want to see michael jackson with boobs, but is america really so .., so .. ? In belgium a few years ago, some music group entertained people during break and they had a strip-act. In England there is not a single big event where the streakers remain abscent. A single boob (okay during the biggest sports event but come on). I already can imagine people are marching in front of that television network with slogans like "think of the children" and such.

Btw, it's also really stupid to give so much attention to it because now all has-beens or artists that aren't very succesful anymore (like Janet) will try to pull such a stunt.

Next: Nipplegate II: The return of Mariah Carry.
Mark my words.

I saw it on the news dunnowhen, but today i read in the paper that for this stupid stunt, the number of searches on the internet equals the searches they got for 9/11.
So media-wise speaking, this fact (Janet's boob)could be considered as big as 9/11 in america. :shock:

If only Janet's boob were as big as the Twin Towers. At least it'd be worth all the media-attention it's getting.

It's not a big deal at all. The media has nothing else better, so they are trying to make a big to-do with it. Really though, nobody cares.

This only proves the US is (almost) full of wankers.
Who the fuck cares about Janet Jackson's tits? The only problem I have with it is that they shouldn't have been her tits, but appearently that's not where the arguement is about.

erm, I'd like to correct that statement.

The MEDIA is almost entirely full of wankers. The rest of America doesn't give a shit (except maybe the FCC).

I downloaded it, saw her nipple, and subsequently deleted it. Whoopty-freakin-do. More scary than anything, IMO.

As far as the searches for 9/11 thing, I think the stats are wildly wrong. For one, 9/11 was the front page (and in some cases, the only page) on every online newspaper in the world. This maybe got a mention. So, whereas with 9/11 you just punch in cnn.com and get what you want, with this you have to search. Thus, as many searches.

I know when 9/11 happened I didn't do any searches. Just cnn.com, abcnews.com and slashdot for me. Funny when the best information came from slashdot. :/

WTH is a wanker? Obviously it's slang, but what does exactly does it mean?

it's not exactly a term in common use in America mole, it's kind of an english thing :roll:

yeh, like nob, twat, tosser.

Author:  Pig [ Thu Feb 05, 2004 10:17 am ]
Post subject: 

twat is known in America, but wanker is definitely foreign. I agree with Satis. In fact, I was going to post something to that effect once I was sure what a wanker is.

Isn't that kind of a useless term though? I feel sorry for the few people who don't masturbate. I would wear the term 'wanker' with pride.
