Changing the subject

This from the New York Times: "As Michael J. Copps, an F.C.C. commissioner who has long argued for stricter regulation, put it, 'I think [Janet] Jackson's escapade illuminates the need to tackle this issue and enforce the law.'"

I have a theory that the F.C.C. official is really referring not to the notorious wardrobe malfunction but to "Escapade," the track on Jackson's classic Rhythm Nation 1814 record. And that he doesn't like the song very much. But there's not a law against appealing (if slightly overproduced) dance-pop. Is there?

P.S. The article's accompanying picture of John Ashcroft is hysterical.
