But I'm wondering if parents all over America didn't get a good look at what some of their children are watching when they aren't looking.

We have MTV locked out at our house. Samwise Jr. has her own parent-approved list for television, and she doesn't have the code to unlock shows or channels we haven't approved. We know what our kid is watching.

But we were blindsided. I'm not a sports fan, and I didn't know MTV had anything to do with the half time.

My eleven-year-old's response was "That is digusting!"

We don't even have kids here, Sam, and we were blindedsided, too.

Sounds like you're raised a very centered child!

My kids and I watched the superbowl for the first time in 8 years tonight and I had no idea what we would be instore for. I leave the set for 10 minutes to releave myself only to return and see that last spot. I was floored and outraged that my kids saw that mess and the stuff that went on even before it as I am learning about even as we speak. I can't believe it. My children exposed to this mess because they wanted to watch their favorite team in the Superbowl.

No more TV anymore. Good thing we didn't watch it much before either because we sure won't miss it. Now the greatest American sport has become the lowest form of entertainment in America. Thanks dims, now I have no rights AND no sports. I hope that this will result in a wake up call to arm chair voters this year.
