Oh, absolutely from the viewpoint of a typical 12-20 yr old; I would agree 100%. These kids probably see boobs on cable TV, in most movies they rent; and think it was pretty darn cool.

However, the typical 12-20 yr old is NOT raising a family with impressionable children around. The Superbowl tends to be a family based viewing habit in many families; thus the opinions of 12-20yr olds should be taken with the same weight as their statistics would make up in the overall viewing audience.

I think they are a 'cherry picked' minority by CBS to make their error in judgement appear in the best possible light.

"I think if the media would pay this much attention to our country's ailing education system..."

I think if the media would pay this much attention to the cover-your-ass policies of the teachers' union there wouldn't be an ailing edumacation system.

"I find it disturbing that Janet Jackson was asked not to attend The Grammy's because of the events that happened at the Superbowl, yet R. Kelly is still attending and he is accused of having sex with minors," said Chris, a 19- year-old student from Chicago, Illinois.

Janet Jackson attempted to jumpstart publicity for her new album by offering a sexualized display of a mutilated nipple as the closure of her AOL Super Bowl halftime performance.

R. Kelly did not do what he did as a publicity stunt. If he is that much of a risk to society, he should not be out on bail.

The Grammy's nominally are designed to reward sales, therefore an adulterer and perjuror like Bill Clinton can win an award for best children's spoken word album regardless of his private life.

If Bill Clinton's response to impeachment had been, "but I was thinking about this wonderful recording that would defend the wolf in Peter and the Wolf, for the children..." then it could be said that fornigate was all a promotional scam too.

BTW, the LA Times wrote about some videos that got moved to later in the night as a result of the FCC smackdown over the Super Bowl. The article mentions that this is not the first time MTV has engaged in such censorship. The author mentions that R.Kelly was moved off of the afternoon program TRL (Total Request Live) after the statutory rape allegations/video surfaced.

Well, I'm certainly not a youth (according to that survey) but I have three words for the American public...

GET OVER IT!

Far worse things are seen on music video channels every day. And honestly, if I see another Janet Jackson thread, the person responsible is gonna owe me a new laptop computer 'cos I'm gonna barf all over the monitor, the screen, the hard drive, and probably the cute little optical mini-mouse....
