This Day in History



1920

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police was established. After voting down the first few uniform options for "not being gay enough", officials finally decided on the distinctive "I dare you to respect me" Officer Fancypants outfit still worn to this day.

1946
Norwegian statesman Trygve Lie was chosen to be the first secretary-general of the United Nations. Addressing the general assembly for the first time, Lie would passionately express his gratitude for being the first selected to "captain this ship filled with meaningless sanctions, thinly-veiled special interests and soft-cocked masturbators."

1999
Former White House intern Monica Lewinsky gave a deposition that was videotaped for senators weighing impeachment charges against President Bill Clinton. Most of Lewinsky's sordid details would be rendered inaudible thanks to House Republican Bob Barr's heavy breathing during taping.

2004
Singer Janet Jackson's breast was briefly exposed during a duet with Justin Timberlake during the Super Bowl halftime show. Coincidentally enough, the so-called "wardrobe malfunction" led to the exposure of an even larger tit: FCC Chairman Michael Powell.

You leave my man Bob Barr out of this!

Anyone taking odds on the FCC response if Pete Townsend rips open Roger Daltry's blouse and exposes his wrinkled sagging man breast, which bears the same nipple-piercing that Janet had?
