Here's a plain and simple question:
How can it be an ASSAULT of a woman at the Super Bowl when it was her action that CAUSED her breast to be seen? I'll answer my own question, it wasn't assault and it was only a breast.

Why oh why does anyone care at all about this?

I often wonder how some people can be so unable to see the point, or just be so vapidly undiscerning and unable to know. Maybe it's the public schools you attended.

One more time for the challenged.

The problem wasn't just a breast showing, not just that a guy exposed it, the problem was that millions of young children perceived it as an unwanted assault. Got it? Too complicated?

"The issue isn't nudity but the implicit endorsement of acting out male fantasies of violent and invasive non-consensual sexual behavior. Never mind the message it sends to international audiences--say young, angry Muslims, to pick a random example, who may have been wondering whether America really is immoral." He added that this year's game was telecast to 229 countries and territories, including China for the first time."

*****

Because it was the action that finally got through to the somnolent majority, the concept of degradation in 'pop' culture. It was a conversation opener, and now possibly, just like the reaction to the Reagan Movie scheduled for broadcast on ABC, the real majority in America will demand an improvement in standards for what is being sold to our children.

What happened was that we had a mirror held up to our faces and the world saw clearly what was there........and we didn't like it. Our children and parents and social friends were all together and we were shamed. They are the immediate fall guys, but it is another stake into pop culture and liberal values. The world has been changing since clintoon and 9/11, it is happening. God moves slowly, but He is moving.

The stunt and the broadbased negative reaction against it show a turning point. If we're not already at rock bottom, we're almost there.

The reason you should care is that many children (not just their parents) rejected it. It means that their generation is beginning to reject what the Big Media is forcing down their throats.

Perhaps it means that their generation will never vote for a Bill Clinton.
