Also, if everyone saw the update from yesterday, it was apparently an erroneous action by a third-party:
AT&T Inc said on Thursday a company it hired to handle the cybercast of a live concert by U.S. rock band Pearl Jam erroneously omitted lyrics criticizing U.S. President George Bush that were in a song performed by the band. "Those lyrics in no way, shape or form, are something that should have been edited," AT&T spokesman Michael Coe said. -Reuters (http://www.reuters.com/article/entertainmentNews/idUSN091821320070809) Maybe that's passing the buck after being called out, OR *maybe* it was just an accident without a conspiracy theory behind it.
