The Canadian singer stripped off only to reveal a skin-coloured body suit with life-like nipples and pubic hair. The move was aimed at making fun of America's censorship rules, according to a report in IMDb. The "Ironic" singer initially shocked TV viewers and audience members with her stunt, but when it was apparent she wasn't actually revealing anything, the crowd burst into fits of laughter. When the telecast's assistant director told Morissette she couldn't show nipples or pubic hair on national TV, she ripped off the fake body parts. She later explained her act was targeted at Americans who have over-reacted to cultural, free expression, in the wake of Janet Jackson's Super Bowl shocker, in which she exposed a breast. "Recently in the United States, I ran into a little problem with regards to a lyric in one my songs, which includes the lyric, 'I can be an a**hole of the grandest kind.' It was requested that I change a word in the first verse. Well, I am overjoyed to be back in my homeland, the true North - strong and censor-free", the songstress said. Later, however, she agreed to make the change, replacing the offensive word with "nightmare". Morissette wasn't the only star to poke fun at the current era of censorship. In a pre-recorded clip Avril Lavigne flashed her chest at a photographer.
