Can someone point out what he said thats so scandalous? I can't decipher the lyrcs, but I got the "Why did Bush make the towers fall" bit, which is no worse than whats been going around for years now.
I assume he's reffering to Halle Barry's Oscar for Monster's Ball, in which case, it may or may not be true (its Hollywood guys, don't act so shocked), but I do agree that her performance was not good enough to warrant an Oscar, even though I believe that the Oscars do not generally reward the best performance, only the most popular/artsy/expected-to-win one. The Matrix (the original) didn't win squat. Fight Club, American History X, Requiem for a Dream, [insert great movie here]. Most mainstream awards crap..
I also believe that libel laws are mostly bull****. If I come out and write something negative about, lets say, George Soros, even if its factually correct, I could be sued for libel. I'm willing to live with a certain amount of unsubstantiated slander in order to safeguard freedom of speech. Read up on the McLibel trial for an example of this.
Whats worse? Saying that Halle Barry is a slut, or starting a war based on lies, that eventually gets over 15,000 civilians killed (tens of thousands of combatants also) and occupies a sovereign nationn? I'm only using this as an example. Poeple made a bigger fuss of Janet's breast than they did about any of the illigal and immoral actions by the Bush administration. We've got some ****ed up priorities, eh?
