4/7/2004: Alanis Morissette gets "naked"



This was covered widely elsewhere and for a while I thought about not including it here, but it's just SO IotD. Art and culture and international relations and interesting protest...

Alanis Morissette appeared at the Junos, Canada's music awards show, dressed in a bathrobe and opened it to reveal the above suit. The point: protesting US censorship and the "Janet Jackson episode. She said "We can't show nipples on national TV. I am proud to be able to stand here and do this."

When informed that even in the "true North strong and censor free," she was not permitted to show nipples or pubic hair, Morissette ripped them off the bodysuit, piece by piece.

I think in general she was just trying to have a laugh with it. Still, it would have been a much better protest if she was actually nekkid.
