"I don't ~fault~ anyone here.... I find the whole hubbub amusing"
You shouldn't and here's why. That half-time show last night (and it was more than just the boob hanging out) represents the final straw for a lot of parents.
Many parents try to sensor as best as humanly possible the trash to which their children are subjected to, especially at such a young and formative age. What parent really thought they needed to sensor that half-time experience? The Superbowl is a family event, it's not MTW and lewd and crass behaviour on display only for adults. AND, if that was what it was to become......then CBS and the NFL owed it's veiwers an advance warning.
Let me see if I can create an analogy for you.....Let's say I sit down one evening with my family to watch one of those wholesome re-runs of "Andy Griffith" and right in the middle of that show as Barney is trying to show Opie how to throw a baseball the station/picture is highjacked and on pops the screen are two individuals engaged in sex. And let's say, in the middle of "Andy Griffith" the phone rang and I took the call in another room and had left my children in the room to watch the remaining part of that episode just before that took place.....

Your analogy had to exaggerate the offense to one that actually would warrant the actual upset here.
If this was your final straw.... then you already had a pretty overloaded camel.
