  • The NFL, Janet Jackson, & the 2004 Nipple Gate Controvesy

    What a CreepThe Super Bowl’s Big Wardrobe MalfunctionSeason 28, Episode 4It was the wardrobe malfunction seen around the world. We’re going to talk about the infamous 2004 Super Bowl Halftime Show. The entire country lost their collective mind because they got a glimpse of Janet Jackson’s boob for less than a second during what they like to pretend is a family-friendly cultural event. In reality, we’re watching a brutal sport in which men are getting concussions for our entertainment, sandwiched in between commercials for booze and boner pills.Was it a planned stunt? Was it an accident? Does it really matter? Some people just used it as an opportunity to shit on Janet Jackson 24/7, and others used it as an opportunity to get on their soapbox to disingenuously ask, “Won’t someone think of the children.” Sources for this episodeDeadspinLos Angeles Times“The New York Times Presents: Malfunction: The Dressing Down of Janet Jackson”NPRRolling StoneRolling StoneWikipediaNon-Creepy American Football Charities:USA Football.com: USA Football believes in the passion, intensity, joy, confidence, and sense of community football brings to those who play, coach, and love it.

  • John Harvey Kellogg: Creepy Cereal Advocate
    Jan 24 2025
    What a CreepJohn Harvey KelloggSeason 28, Episode 2Kellogg’s Corn Flakes was the boring cereal in my Kellogg’s cereal variety pack, but it’s the one that started them all. And one of the men behind that cereal was John Harvey Kellogg.John Harvey Kellogg championed nutrition and a holistic approach to health. But he was also a eugenicist, which, if you don’t know, is the inaccurate theory that humans can be improved through selective breeding of populations. He also advocated for forced sterilization of anyone he deemed unintelligent or immoral. Oh, and he launched a really messed anti-masturbation campaign that saw the genitals of young boys and girls mutilated.John Harvey Kellogg: What a creep.
