- - Wednesday, February 04, 2004 SPIKE it to me, Lee First, it was a "wardrobe malfunction". Now she says the whole thing was all her idea to change the finale, but it all went terribly wrong. Can you just hear me rolling my eyes? I'm beginning to believe that the new laws of nature are, a) never stick your nipples in a light socket, b) always pay your taxes, and c) NEVER trust a Jackson. I know that the whole Janet Jackson Breast Flop is everywhere, but I read this article from AP news that really caught my attention. It had comments from Spike Lee that made me sigh in relief that we still may have some sane people in this world when it comes to gauging talent. No one stands up to this shit, but I'm glad that a well-known film director did. If making it big in this entertainment world means you must have a huge rack, plunging v-neck, and be willing to dry-hump someone on stage, then screw talent, right? Who needs to actually have any? Eh, I'll stop before I go off...keep reading. NEW YORK - Film director Spike Lee criticized Janet Jackson's surprise breast-baring during the Super Bowl halftime show last weekend as a "new low" of attention-getting antics by entertainers.... Lee, speaking at Kent State University's regional campus in Stark County, Ohio, on Tuesday night, said there has been a decline in artistry. He said it's not enough to be a good singer, and that entertainers "have to do something extra" _ such as the openmouthed kiss Madonna gave Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera during the MTV Video Music Awards in August. "What's gonna be next? It's getting crazy, and it's all down to money. Money and fame," said Lee, the director of "Malcolm X" and "Do the Right Thing." "Somehow the whole value system has been upended."
