Yay again for Get Fuzzy.

Good question, Rob. Might be related to the fact that this is a society where the rape victim gets blamed rather than the assailant.... Justin has seen no fallout from the Superbowl debacle, whereas Janet has been censured by the press and the public, was kicked off the Grammys and lost an acting job. Doesn't quite seem fair to me...

FOLLOWUP
I was thinking about this as I was walking to work this morning, and just wanted to add this thought:
The American viewing public in general has always been less comfortable with nudity/sex than it has been with violence. Just look at what is allowed on TV, and how R and NC-17 ratings are assigned. God forbid you should see a nipple, but hey it's ok to show someone getting shot.
