The difference that people are missing is that with the bloody shows, you get a warning. A little message pops us before the show starts saying it may be unsuitable for some viewers. Or you have an appropriate rating.
But there was not warning for this stunt. And since Ms. Jackson is thought of as a pop idol and Justin Timberlake makes all the teenie bopper girls hearts go nuts, there may have been quite a few kiddos tuned in to something that the parents weren't prepared for them to see. Not saying the kiddos haven't seen it all, but we are talking about warnings; and this didn't give us a warning.
I am grateful my teenage son was in the other room at the time.

Or you have an appropriate rating. Exactly. I'm not going to complain about say, the Sopranos, because it's very clear that it is an adult show, on pay cable. Heck, the fact that they actually have important members of the casts who are over 40 communicates right there that it's not a kid's show! But you expect the Super Bowl to have some standards.
