"The issue isn't nudity but the implicit endorsement of acting out male fantasies of violent and invasive non-consensual sexual behavior.

Ms. Noonan's use of the word 'paganism', when referring to the whole halftime display, struck me more than any other thing she said. If you have read Augustine's, The City of God you will understand my reasoning, if not, let me provide a brief summary.
After the Goths (early Germans) overran and sacked Rome, many of the Romans who managed to escape placed the blame for the downfall of the Roman Empire on Christianity and its adherents. In The City of God, Augustine carefully examines their argument and proceeds to deconstruct and expose its multitude of weaknesses. Augustine shows irrefutably that the blame for the corruption and eventual destruction of the empire rests solely with the leaders embrace of paganism and idolatry.
Our culture is crumbling about our ears and it is our like embrace of these same twins that is leading us to a similar fate as Rome's. Janet Jackson's sad performance and uncovering of her body is not to blame, it is our refusal as a society to bend our knee and acknowledge the One who came to take our place on Calvary's tree, namely Jesus Christ of Nazareth! We need to thank the mighty triune God everyday for making us from the dirt we walk on and for providing the only way for us to avoid an eternity separated from the Lord of Heaven.
