Singer Alanis Morissette demonstrated her disdain for what she called "hypocritical US censorship" at the 2004 Juno Awards ceremonies - Canada's version of the Grammy’s - by disrobing on stage to reveal a skin-coloured body suit, complete with exaggerated nipples and pubic hair.

As part of a pre-planned skit, Morissette was then told by an announcer that “We can't show nipples on national TV ... and you can't show your pubic hair either", at which time the Ottawa-born singer pulled off the fake body parts.

According to Morissette the satirical act was aimed at US government institutions for over-reacting to the recent Janet Jackson Super Bowl faux pas, during which Jackson’s breast was accidentally exposed to millions of television viewers.
