Bono, Nicole Richie, and the F-word

This subject is quite topical, considering all the bru-ha-ha about Janet Jackson’s momentarily-exposed breast.

Oh, the horrors! Society is disintegrating! Fire and brimstone! Man the bunkers!

[This is something we call SARCASM.]

Regardless, I generally agree with the argument that Hilden puts forth. Give it a read!
