New Year's Eve and it's hard to believe
another zodiac has gone around.

While you drank yourself high on hoping
and watched the ceiling spin from the ground.

Counting down from ten it's time
to make your annual prayer.

Secret santa in the sky
when will I get my share?

Then you tell yourself
what you want to hear.

Cause you have to believe.

This will be my year.

This will be my year...Semisonic

I've witnessed to a lot of questionable acts during my time with my company. I was in room when Little Kim first bared her boob in a pastie. I've seen acts of debauchery that would turn your hair grey. I was most appalled (and perhaps finally felt old) when I stood and watched girls being incouraged to shake their butts in thongs much like a 2Live Crew video on a stage in Miami while jeering men screamed, and I just shook my head when 60 plus pre-pubescent looking girls whipped off their plaid skirts, danced in their white cotton panties and then mauled each other on a stage. I have been worried by our questionable behavior before.

I have also been very proud. I once watched Carson Daly turn the rings of 20 plus high school Senior girls upon their request. I've had the opportunity to introduce kids to their favorite stars and watched those stars stop and actually listen to their fans. I've stood in the room while the Vice President of the United States addressed our audience and I have felt very fortunate.

But I have to say that I am very very saddened by the fact that the Superbowl show produced by us ended in such a raunchy manner. Now don't think I don't enjoy high drama and a good show, but this evening was supposed to be the official "soft" launch of the 2004 Choose or Lose campaign. And that's why there was that great intro to the show which included ridiculously famous people saying things like, "Choose this and choose that and choose to vote..." Not to mention all the red, white and blueish stuff going on. But to close the show with Justin baring the breast of a woman who we all know he used to screw well, that was just crass. And again I am pro-boob, pro-pastie and most importantly pro-freedom of speech.

I don't believe for a second that was a surprise. Not for one minute.

But I think we did ourselves a great disservice with this. Because at the end of the day no one will remember the great get out and vote messaging. It will forever be overshadowed by Janet Jackson's boob.

Or even worse, what big boobs we've become.
