soloredd: I honestly don't give a **** what Kid Rock or Janet Jackson do, but I hate for people to be ****ing hypocrites. I was merely pointing out that if all these self proclaimed, easily offended, "moral & upstanding" people were so damn offended by seeing a tittie on TV, you would think they would be offended by flagrant disrespect of their flag on TV as well.

I personally don't consider myself "easily offended" or whatever (if anything, I'm most "offended" with this particular stunt by Timberlake's insulting "costume malfunction" claims after-the-fact)....but....

Frankly, Kid Rock appearing in a cut-up flag was a bit offensive as well. Yes, it's generally against "respectful practice" for people to treat the flag as such, and it was even a bit weird as he was singing about how he was proud to live in the USA or whatever the lyric was.

For that matter, I even remember when Bono had a jacket lined with a U.S. flag when he sang at the Superbowl shortly after 9/11, and even that took me back for a second.

U.S. flag's an interesting thing -- if anything, it can sort of increase in its "power" as people are, generally, free to ignore "guidelines" and treat it as they choose, even burn it publicly, frankly. Can make me raise my eyebrow at someone, but not a big thing I take as personal offense.

On the other hand, being flashed unexpectedly by someone (who's planned it in advance in violation of broadcasting legalities) when I generally think I'm watching an Americana sporting event fun for the whole family is a bit weird, though I was probably more offended by Janet's brief rear end grinding.

ANYWAY, ultimately, I think of everything, it's the stupid, insulting, cover-up lying after-the-fact about "costume malfunctions" that I find most insulting and offensive. There's some degree of tolerance I have for various expressions and things, but people knowingly pulling a stunt then turning around and pretending it was just an accident or something without responsibility *really* irks me.

Janet Jackson Got Nasty at the MTV-Produced Super Bowl Halftime Show

Jaws across the country hit the carpet at exactly the same time. You know what we're talking about...Janet Jackson, Justin Timberlake and a kinky finale that rocked the Super Bowl to its core. P. Diddy, Kid Rock, & Nelly rounded out the halftime show in the midst of the greatest game on earth. MTV was Super Bowl central, so armchair quarterbacks, fair weather fanatics and fans of Janet Jackson and her pasties were definitely in the right place. So strap on those pads, keep your head down and get the full recap of The AOL Super Bowl XXXVIII Halftime Show produced by MTV.

It was planned. :yes:

hah!

with a comment like that... now I know why you vote for Bush :pinch:

Does it really matter? Japan pretty has next to no censorship and they have one of the lowest crime rates. Their society doesn't seem immoral or corrupt.

You people are acting like these kids are going to need years of therapy because they saw a nipple. Hell, if I was the age of 8 and I saw a nipple on TV, I'd be the most excited kid in the world.

Some are just too uptight. I say the world would be a better place if some nipple was shown randomly every once in a while...just not from Janet.

I can't believe all the talk over this. It's MTV, what the hell did people expect? It's Janet, she's a ######. It's Justin, he's a man slut. :huh:

Two cheers for ######! What would this world be without them.

Now only if Britney would pose nude for playboy, maxim, or something like that!

:woot:

If anybody still cares, I have basically a wrap up of the pics and the video on my web site (so long as it can endure the traffic :) )

You can find it on Links Removed

Definitely looks intentional. Of course they'll deny it... MTV directed the show, MTV is owned by Viacom, which is a sister company of CBS. The coffers run deep. If they admitted this was intentional, city, state, and church would sue like the dickens (no pun intended).

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By duhk · Posted

      I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.

      I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣

      Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.

      This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.

      Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
