Aint Janet Like 50? When Is A Woman Too Old To Be On A Magazine Cover In Her Draws With Her Titties Out?

I'm sorry baby, but you need to be at a PTA meeting, not on the cover of King Magazine.

Have women over 40 lost their minds? Do they feel they have no value unless they can entice men constantly?

The Desperate Housewives Phenomena has gone too far.

that is bullshit guy. complete and utter (and smelly as hell) bullshit. gun totin'/poision drinkin'/hoe havin'/child abandonin' that's what he puts out for consumption. whether that gives him financial, social or political leverage in this base, bottom-feeder society is neither impressive or anything to emulate.: you are comparing means with ends (janet's with fiddy's) compare means with means. same damn thing.

Time for Janet to pass the diva torch to the youngins - Ciara, Beyonce, Kelly R., etc.

She is making it abundantly clear that women do not have to look like human sackcloth just because they are getting older. Women should age like fine wine if they are doing it right.; Jun 11, 2007, 11:39:00 AM

Yeah, she is doing it right, with the aid of airbrushing and plastic surgery.

A women over 40 can be INCREDIBLY sexy. Yet, that sexiness has little to do with the size or shape of her titties.

It has more to do with the development of her mind and spirit.

I heard Janet on the radio awhile back. She was being interviewed by Big Boy In The Morning.

He asked "Janet, what is your favorite sexual position and which ones do you do with Jermaine?".

Janet giggled like a 16 year old and answered in a soft, barely audible, faux shy voice "all of them". Then she giggled again.

I wanted to call the radio station and say "Bitch! Quit acting like a fucking child!"

Good thing I couldn't get service.; Jun 11, 2007, 11:57:00 AM

not having one(in someone’s opinion) should not mean you have to discount the other.

Fair enough question Sankofa,

Perpetuating the illusion of unattainable physical youth does not serve women well.

How are we (the Oprah's of the world) going to berate brothas for featuring strippers in their videos while we literally place strippers (euphemism for whores) on pedestals?

Celebrating Janet as a model of success sends a strange message to 11 year old girls everywhere.

Does Fiddy do the same?

Nah. It's different. Curtis Jackson's backstory of business success, expansion into film and successful escape from the prison system genuinely empowers young men.

Now if he's 42 on the cover of XXL with his stomach out talking about beef with a 20 year old rapper - he would need his ass whipped.

so it's NOT okay to take a tasteful but sexy pic over 40, but it IS okay to look like a slut-bag whore (Tyra "Damn Baby") as long as you're under 40? I'm a fan of Tyra but that pic up there is waaay tacky and classless. Janet looks great!; Jun 11, 2007, 4:06:00 PM

Kalena,

Not saying what Janet does is either OK or Not OK.

I'm suggesting it falls short of a level and depth of sexuality, sensuality and femininity that she is capable of experiencing and capable of expressing.

I expect more from a 40 year old grown woman than big titties, thong and a 6 pack.

Regarding Tyra. I consider what she did art.

This airbrushed strip tease that Janet is doing on the cover of KING MAGAZINE looks tacky ghetto and a step above Girls Gone Wild.

I blame Jermaine.

You got a woman as bad as Janet Jackson, you aint supposed to let her get down like that.; Jun 11, 2007, 4:19:00 PM

You seem to now be suggesting with this comment that she could use a different means to presumably accomplish the same ends……

this is a new twist on your earlier argument. and true. but what you note above is not what this common culture or that base industry American music) is seeking and she happens to be providing a service to them in order to ultimately service herself and her chosen lifestyle. Same as your boy.; Jun 11, 2007, 5:16:00 PM

Janet, like so many women in our culture, has bought into a gratuitous body image that is ultimately self-defeating.

5 years from now she will be on Oprah fighting depression and blaming her angst on men.; Jun 11, 2007, 6:49:00 PM

In an era begging for male energy, he is unapologetically male.

WAIT A MINUTE! So Fiddy's perpetuating the illusion of gansta life is going to get the average black male a record deal, movie deal, steriod deal, gun deal or 10-15 in for profit prison. Come on dude... If Janet was in Fiddy's video dressed like that it would be OK. Double standard going on here I see.; Jun 11, 2007, 7:40:00 PM
Anonymous said...: I too see the double standard, but nevertheless understand what DV is saying. Janet's a grown ass successful woman who's been there and done that. Or at least that should be her attitude. The same way I (I almost feel comfortable saying "we" based on the comments from the ladies) forgo the daisy dukes of yester year for a fly, LONG dress, perhaps with only the back out, Janet should move past the thong and bra and find a hot skirt and tank top.; Jun 11, 2007, 9:06:00 PM

Nah. Casper.

Like the only person in a room not in on a private joke - you still don't get it.

Fiddy aint promoting "gangsta life".

Fiddy is promoting "beating the system at it's own game".

Many brothas have never seen a black man do that.

Also, you need to abandon the lame notion that "young black youth are unable to discern" fact from fiction but white people are yada yada yawn ..."

That's racist.

Other than that you make some good points.; Jun 11, 2007, 10:15:00 PM

Sadly DV I hate to break it to you... It's reality for many black youth my man... The truth remains that Fiddy, Snoop, Master "P" all came from the street corners slinging dope and that's information they promote. The average none rapper high profile person may not promote their criminal past. Why is that? Thus how could one's young mind not think that I can follow that path. No different from a younging thinking they can follow Barry Bonds' path. Or Obama's path. Whether right or wrong celebrities inspire people DV. What youth don't take into account are the odds of becoming Snoop, Fiddy, Barry etc. That's the real problem no plan "B" or no plan to keep themselves out of the pokie. And it's not racist to identify a flaw in my own culture and race of people. It's being responsible... or keeping it real.; Jun 12, 2007, 9:52:00 AM

Drugs are not sold because "rappers promote it".

That's laughably naive.

Drugs were sold before there was such a thing as a microphone.

Drugs would be sold if Rhyming were made illegal.

What is being promoted is 'having sold drugs, survived, prospered and persevered'.

DV are cigerettes sold because they are promoted by tabacco companies??? I think we all know the answer... People more so kids are influenced by media and more so by people they idolize. It's so simple that we all know you know this. But yet you hang on like Bush supporters.

And the real point is DV it's not just Fiddy who is the front man for these themes it's not all his fault it's the corporations who profit from forbidden language... Just like when you tell that kid not to eat all the cookies... They plot to do it anyway. Corporations profit from pure sugar cereals. And why do kids want the pure sugar cereal. Because the same companies promote to them during targeting programming.

The proof is in the pudding DV. When you target and market lyrics, candy, video games, etc to kids. They respond ... In ways your obviously are not aware of.; Jun 12, 2007, 1:36:00 PM

"There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment. How often, or on what system, the Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork. It was even conceivable that they watched everybody all the time. But at any rate they could plug in your wire whenever they wanted to. You had to live—did live, from habit that became instinct—in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized."

The founders of the American state understood that the proper functioning of a democracy required an educated electorate. It is this understanding that justifies a system of public education and that led slaveholders to resist the spread of literacy among their chattels. But the meaning of "educated" has changed beyond recognition in two hundred years. Reading, writing, and arithmetic are no longer sufficient to decide on public policy. Now we need quantum mechanics and molecular biology. The knowledge required for political rationality, once available to the masses, is now in the possession of a specially educated elite, a situation that creates a series of tensions and contradictions in the operation of representative democracy.

If a Black Death could spread throughout the world once in every generation, survivors could procreate freely without making the world too full. The state of affairs might be unpleasant, but what of it?"
