Subject: Superbowl "Teatgate" Date: Thu, 5 Feb 2004 00:58:10 -0500 To: lpny_discussion From: Bob Armstrong To use Jon Stewart's phrase , seems incredibly provincial . I didn't watch it , but have seen the pixelated footage plenty of times by now and have heard Powell Jr talk about how the FCC has to raise its fines 10x . Only in Amerika . One of the most startling experiences at the APL conference I attended in Saint Petersburg Russia in `92 was visiting the Russians' corridor in the Nuclear Research Training Facility housing the conference . I was waiting in their lounge for my new friend Oleg Luksa to head out to find the American Biker Rock Concert I had heard at a Manhattan party was going to be there at the same time . They had the news on the tube . A commercial came on . It's eye candy was the view looking up from the bottom of a pool at swimming naked women . While I don't remember see pie , the was no cover up - just focused female forms . In the middle of the evening news . In the land of the unfree . ( And Russia has some painfully beautiful women . ) --=A0 =A0Bob Armstrong -- http://CoSy.com -- 212-285-1864 CoSy MidWinter Party : http://cosy.com/y04/MidWinter17.htm Computing Environment : =A0http://CoSy.com/CoSy/ A WTC vision : http://CoSy.com/CoSy/ConicAllConnect/ Liberty : http://CoSy.com/Liberty.htm Restore our Right to Relax : =A0http://ny.lp.org/cgi-bin/petition.cgi?Against_the_Smoking_Ban =A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A02004/02/05 12:33:59 AM
