From that one person...
You're absolutely right. While we were supposed to be engaged in the process of selecting the next "leader of the free world" the biggest thing in the media was Janet's right breast. I'm not even sure what difference it makes if it was the right or the left, but every story I heard or saw found it necessary to point out the which breast we saw. People in the US are so obsessed with sex that we are blinded to other things that are really important, while the rest of the civilized world yawns, and thinks "what is wrong with those people?" While breasts and other body parts are part of prime time commercial TV in Europe, South America and Asia, Americans get all freaked out over it. I bet the Europeans are glad they shipped all those Puritans over here and got them out of Europe!

The real irony is that while we exercise our "moral outrage" over a little semi-nudity, we wink at corporations destroying people's lives to save a buck. We need a new definition of "morality".
