 Language Malfunction

 As a practitioner of bondage, discipline and sadomasochistic practices 
for 25 years, I am perplexed by the phrase "S&M-clad," which is how 
Frank Ahrens chose to describe Janet Jackson's dancers in the infamous 
MTV-produced Super Bowl halftime show [Business, Sept. 4]. "S&M" is not 
a style of dress but the acceptance of a set of sexual fetish 
activities as "normal" and "healthy" when performed appropriately.

 Would dancers acceptable to fundamentalist Christians have been called 
"missionary-clad"?
