What kind of whacked out homoerotic stuff are you into, man? Men "imposing their will by force on other men". What? You obviously were cut from the football team, or never made it out of the lockeroom. So, since no intelligent life form can make any sense out of the first part of your rant, I will address the last part (and the part that has anything to do with this thread)
what happened on stage was not battery, it was not a man forcing himself on a woman--it was playful and co-operative.
You're right, it wasn't battery and it may have been choreographed to be "playful and cooperative", but it doesn't make it ok.
You left out the more important descriptor of this "playful and cooperative routine", that it was simply in poor taste.
It has been said upteen, thousand times on this thread, on radio, and even people who aren't considered "prudes" that this was simply not the venue for this type of display.
The Super Bowl is a family event broadcast over public airwaves. And while this "playful" routine may not be shocking (and perhaps even the norm) at the MTV Music Awards, it is an entirely different circumstance.
So, while I don't have any problem with breasts (in fact I have a profound admiration for them), I do have a problem with my young children seeing this type of behavior during what I consider a family program.
And before you reply with some rant about religious fundamentalism (or some other homoerotic suggestion), I will repeat a simple statement from earlier in this thread:
Good taste isn't tied to one's religious beliefs.
Yes, well, not exactly a federal offense, is it?: "poor taste". I agree that it was in poor taste, as was, for my money, the rest of this overhyped, steroid-driven roman coleusem act. However, I don't have any plans to demand the destruction of some people's careers over "poor taste".
What kind of whacked out homoerotic stuff are you into, man?
Hey, I'm not the one glued to my screen watching guys bashing each other's brains out for a prize while gyrating, half-naked woman goad them on.
I see. So,...is it your contention that the two teams on the football field are co-operating toward a common goal, using polite, but pursuasive rhetoric to advance their agendas?
