What are these people thinking???

Good question. I have a neice with two young ones, ages 5 and 8. She and her husband made the decision not to have cable in their home. I think this was a good move.

So they sit down to watch the SuperBowl with the kids, and get subjected to this trash. Basically, what it's come down to is....turning the channel during the halftime show, or just shutting off the tv, or sending the kids out of the room. That doesn't seem fair to me.

Is it *too* much to ask for a football halftime show to be family friendly, or at least not downright offensive? Don't these people have enough other forums in which to display their porn?

I shudder to think of the dialog going on in grade schools around the country today. A man tearing at a woman's shirt, after singing "I'm gonna have you naked by the end of this song". Sad. It makes me glad that my children are grown, but now I have to worry about my future grandchilden growing up in this "anything goes" society.

I hope CBS, MTV, and everyone else involved in this obvious publicity stunt are pleased today. They sunk to and all time low. Obviously, that was their goal.

I'm sorry but the SuperBowl is not family entertainment, that's what Nickelodeon and Disney are for. The game itself is violent, the players too often do not display sportsmanship, the cheerleaders are sexy, beer commercials are everywhere and since the audience is predominantly male, that's where the ads are targeted for.

The argument has always been "If you don't like it, change the channel."

That doesn't work in this case.

This was an intentional sexual assault aimed at mainstream America's sensibilities. Anyone who denies that is a fool, or thinks everyone else is.

As I said on another thread, it is little use arguing with those who see nothing wrong with an intentional assault against the minds of young people, done in stealth fashion. That is the mind of the pedophile, and it is beneath contempt.
