Webb writes that he had trouble believing the fuss that occurred during the 2004 Super Bowl when singer Janet Jackson had a "wardrobe malfunction" flashed the audience. "Imagine then, the upset and the outrage, the gaping open-mouthed horror, when on the programme with the biggest audience of the year 鈥 the annual Super Bowl football match 鈥 the Janet Jackson incident occurred," he wrote when discussing America's attitudes towards sex. "You may remember it, but if you are British I doubt the memory is one of your most searing. In the United States, it lives on... For many of the viewers it seems the experience was one of the most shocking of their lives... Within days, you will remember, there were hearings on Capitol Hill (I am not making this up) and earnest discussions on talk shows of how to save America from indecency."
