Unlike the rest of the avid football fans having hissy-fits here, I do have a sense of decency. I don't let my children watch insanely overpaid gladiators in football uniforms being rewarded beyond the dreams of ancient kings for bashing each other's brains out while pre-pubescent half-naked girls intentionally jiggle their breasts at them in appreciation. Unlike what was going on on the field which was men trying to impose their will by force on other men, what happened on stage was not battery, it was not a man forcing himself on a woman--it was playful and co-operative.
What kind of whacked out homoerotic stuff are you into, man? Men "imposing their will by force on other men". What? You obviously were cut from the football team, or never made it out of the lockeroom. So, since no intelligent life form can make any sense out of the first part of your rant, I will address the last part (and the part that has anything to do with this thread)
what happened on stage was not battery, it was not a man forcing himself on a woman--it was playful and co-operative.
You're right, it wasn't battery and it may have been choreographed to be "playful and cooperative", but it doesn't make it ok.
You left out the more important descriptor of this "playful and cooperative routine", that it was simply in poor taste.
It has been said upteen, thousand times on this thread, on radio, and even people who aren't considered "prudes" that this was simply not the venue for this type of display.
The Super Bowl is a family event broadcast over public airwaves. And while this "playful" routine may not be shocking (and perhaps even the norm) at the MTV Music Awards, it is an entirely different circumstance.
So, while I don't have any problem with breasts (in fact I have a profound admiration for them), I do have a problem with my young children seeing this type of behavior during what I consider a family program.
And before you reply with some rant about religious fundamentalism (or some other homoerotic suggestion), I will repeat a simple statement from earlier in this thread:
Good taste isn't tied to one's religious beliefs.
