Some notes on the now-stale story of Janet Jackson at the superbowl. This nation of puritans was scandalized at the sight of Janet's tit, but I suppose they would have been comfortable with the spectacle of mimed ass-fucking that preceded it, had not the tit itself been flashed. Also, if there are any psychologists out there among readers, I would like to know why rap performers (e.g. Nelly) cannot seem to keep their hands off their dicks while performing. What's your theory? My theory is that the "consumer" culture of our nation has been virtually taken over by pornography. Sex is the last remaining resource after all other currency has been squandered. People with nothing can still enjoy sex. The average American adult is now in hock $8,000 in credit card debt. We're at the tipping point where Americans can't buy any more stuff, and even stand to lose the stuff they've foolishly acquired by false pretenses. So in order to keep the "consumption" racket going, the sex that has always been latent in advertising is now blatant in the way that pornography is blatant. This is the kind of nation we have become. kunstler.com
