There is always something that will hurt other people. Driving too fast, driving too slow, eating too much,....
Janet's Nipple is a synonym for the inane state the american public is in

TechAdmin: We have to install the latest Mediaplayer updates on the Hotmail servers.
Executive Manager: Why, that means downtime - for every minute downtime of hotmail.com I get less bonus! The servers stay up!
TA: But we have to install these updates because without them we can not patch the servers.
EM: Why do we need to patch the servers?
TA: To make them more secure.
EM: But we use our own MS Products...
TA: That's we need to patch so often!
EM: But the latest patches were not labeled even 'critical'
TA: That's because of Steve and Bill and the guys from marketing, so they can tell everyone that our products are secure.
