For what it's worth, I've been trying to reach CBS via phone for the last hour. The line has been busy the whole time -- something tells me that we're not the only people peeved about their halftime show! I'm doubtful any changes will happen at CBS, though -- as you point out, this is the network that has Dan Rather!
Yep. You're right. I have a friend who is a big nudity fan. I wouldn't say the guy likes porn, but certainly doesn't mind going to Hooter's (in fact, he suggests it every other week) and "suffering" through food. Needless to say, I didn't think he would mind "the nipple".
But, in fact, he was quite appalled. He has 2 kids (7 and 10) and couldn't believe it.
It really summed up how I think most people who aren't overly religious, overly prudish, overly whatever-someone-says-to-try-to-make-out-like-there-is-something-wrong-with-you feel.
This isn't a free speech issue and I'm sure there will be defenders that this was "art" and "artistic expression" and those that are trying to saying this was wrong are "right wing, religious fundamentalists", but that is all bunk. It's real simple...
Good taste isn't tied to one's religious beliefs.
