We were fairly excited when we saw the headline "Justin Timberlake defends Jackson boob" over at our gossip schoolmarm, FemaleFirst. "Not only has JT resorted to bragging about his totally super badass drug use to sell records," we thought, "he's actually supporting Michael Jackson, boob that he is." But no, he's just dredging up that old Janet Jackson Superbowl titty scandal and milking it yet again. Milking. Titty.
To be fair, Timberlake probably gets asked about Boobgate in every interview; you must admit that had you freed Janet Jackson's breast from its leathery prison, you would most likely be more than happy to answer any questions or comments lobbed your way. It's been a few years, and wise sage Justin now offers an exciting new spin on the controversy:
"If you consider it as 50/50, I probably got 10 per cent of the blame – and that says something about society. I think America's harsher on women and I think it's unfairly harsh on ethnic people."
Which raises the question: If a former boy-band singer/now solo artist with angelic golden ringlets reaches over and tears off a 4" x 5" strip of leather held over the breast of a female R&B performer via a simple series of precarious snaps, thus exposing said R&B singer's bejeweled mammary to millions of hardworking, God-fearing American families, what percentage of blame lies with which star? Perhaps we should consult a claims specialist from Geico.
