Since you seem to be the expert on what parents should be concerned about, and are flabbergasted that parents would be concerned about exposing their children (of all ages) to a man ripping of the clothing of a woman and exposing her breast. Perhaps, you could lay down the rules for the rest of us, of what would cross the line so that it would not be preposterous to voice concern. Would it be outrageous for parents to voice concern if a man ripped off the top of a woman and exposed BOTH breasts in front of children of all ages? Or would it be preposterous to voice concern over that as well? Please set the guidelines for us, so I know when to voice concern and can live up to your standards.

Just my opinion here, but why watch an MTV production at all? Or, if you didn't realize MTV was the producer, how about changing the channel or going to the kitchen for snacks during the half time performance, which is always designed to get attention, be it via volume, props, techno stuff or a breast shot. I couldn't get to the remote fast enough when Janet came out. The pre-game show with Toby Keith was pretty good, I will say.

Look Groovy; you can be as concerned as you like, but let's face facts.

Regardless of the rhetoric around here, there's no way to be certain whether this was or wasn't an accident. Of course, there are those around here who declared it not an accident, mere moments after it happened.

None of us can say, with absolute certainty, whether it was, or wasn't.

Does it REALLY matter? Not particularly.

However, this thread illustrates a few things, very clearly. Many of the folks getting their knickers in a knot over this, seem to be the same types who would insist on Fig Leaves on ancient statues, or black lines being put on paintings.

Of course, we'll hear that much mocked phrase "It's for the children", however, sadly, it was many of the same folks here who have mocked that phrase when it was used elsewhere.

There is nothing dirty, filthy, disgusting over the sight of a female breast. Period.

My guess, in all honesty, the kids probably got a quick giggle out of it, but would have long since forgotten it, had it not been for the obvious over reactions displayed here.
