If this whole mess with Janet hadnt gone down, do you think they would be censoring the Grammys more or would we even cared or noticed? I am not sure. I just seems ridiculus to me for them to be censoring certain things because people have their heads shoved so far up their ass they can see whats going on in the world around them over an incident which should have simply been passed off as a mistake and forgotten about within minutes.
For example: When the impeachment hearings for Clinton happened a few years ago, I hear more referance to oral sex and other sexual acts than I have ever heard on a cable or network show before. Was this censored in the least? No. Was CSPAN, NBC, ABC, CBS or any other network sued for covering it? No. Did the leader of the free world, standing on a raised podium, describe the sexual acts that transpired between him and Monica in front of an audience of millions? YES.
It doesnt make sense to me for people to censor and be upset over an accident. Like I said before, build a brigde and get over it. Dont go around censoring things just because something like this happens and it becomes your crusade to "clean up" television. Thats bullshit.

They are not censoring anything differently, the network is obviously afraid to have another incident so they are giving themselves an extra couple seconds seconds of relay during the grammy broadcast, the grammy's have always had atleast a 5 second delay for censorship. They aren't censoring anything differently, they just don't want another artist (like JC Chavez during the pro bowl) to try and one up the last event on their network. True the chances of him doing anything are nil, but it sends a message and it means nothing to the network and saves them the stress over worrying if he will do anything. If anything you should be thanking them, its oneless n'sync member on TV!!
Yes it should be forgotten but the news likes to cover this cause they know its what people will be talking about the next day and it keeps people reading their news site/channel/paper, if you think free speech is being taken away because Janet flashed a boob your way off
EDIT: That was also no accident, she knew full well she would be exposing herself on live network TV.
