Defamer
While the intent behind Prince's decision to project his 30-foot shadow upon a billowing sheet in a manner that would spotlight his prolonged stroking of a devil cock large enough to poke a disapproving Creator Himself in the eye with its infernal, barbed meatus should be obvious, the AP still decides to ask the question:
Was Prince's pose phallic?"The short answer is, of course it is," says Rolling Stone magazine contributing editor Gavin Edwards, who points out that on Prince's "Purple Rain" tour in the mid `80s, he performed with a guitar that would ejaculate, squirting water out of its end during the climax of "Let's Go Crazy."
The wily Satanic tandem of CBS and Prince obviously knew where to draw the line to avoid incurring the wrath of the FCC, as equipping his guitar to splooge gallons of a thematically appropriate, fiery ejaculate upon his backing marching band would almost certainly have resulted in fines that would have dwarfed those resulting from the relatively innocent exposure of Janet Jackson's armor-plated nipple.

For heaven's sake, what's the fuss?
The man "threw a shoe" before the curtain was raised. That's the silhouette of one of his high heels--anyone can see that.
He was attempting to correct a perfectly innocent wardrobe malfunction.
I guess the sassy devil member in tasteful silhouette was supposed to cancel out the Ain't Jemima meets Carmen Miranda doo rag.
I watched that and imagined the hordes of bible thumpers already writing their letters.
His guitar! It's evil! And - there was dancing! We can't have that in the middle of an overhyped sports event featuring large men in spandex repeatedly piling up on each other, interrupted only by multiple homo-erotic truck commercials that talk about how "rugged" and "tough" and "like a rock" they are!
Ahem.
I say Prince? Stroke it if you want. Who gives a shit?
"Was Prince's pose phallic?"
Does a bear shit in the woods?
Just ask that "Two and a Half Men" guy about it.
