The only thing about this that offends me is this...

There are people who are choosing to bitch and moan about Janet's breast.
Saying things like "Me and my kids were watching the game...." Or "My 6 year
old and I were watching the game and then this happened..."

You get the picture..

Anyway, these same people had absolutely NO PROBLEM with letting these same
kids watch a bunch of over-developed men beat the crap out of each other..

sigh

Maybe I see things differently than most people. I dunno.

For the record, I'm a big Janet fan, and I can say without a doubt that she
has never gone for such stuff. You might be thinking of people like her
sister, her brother, or Madonna. But not Janet.

Have you seen the footage of what happened after? She was in tears. I saw on
Access Hollywood or another of the tabloid mag shows.

I wasn't offended in the least by the human breast. I was greatly offended by
the vulgarity and calculated crassness of the act.

Those people were invited into my home to perform in front of myself, my wife
and my 18 year old daughter.

It wasn't a blanket invitation. It was based on the fact that the Superbowl is
promoted as a family event and use of the public airwaves was granted under the
terms that certain standards would be followed for unencrypted broadcasts during
times when children are like to be watching.

I have no doubt that Viacom, CBS and MTV will be laughing and gladly pay any
fine as no more than marketing expense. I could care less what Justin and Janet
want to do to create buzz and sell their next product. I could care less who
wants to go see them do it.

I care a great deal about what happens in my home.

A family event with a zillion commercials promoting drinking...

Don't recall seeing any commercials promoting drinking to excess, puking your
guts out, driving drunk, supplying alcohol to minors or any other anti-social
behavior. Did I miss something?

Or is this the old "I can't argue the point on merit so I'll try to justify the
behavior on other grounds" argument?

[snip remaining rant]

Man! My friends and I must be the overwhelming minority that couldn't care
less about the halftime "festivities."

That's always been the time we collectively leave the room; we stop watching
TV to go outside, walk about the host's home, or just plain veg (for those
that might've -- uh -- imbibed too heavily because their favored team wasn't
doing as well as their pregame betting had suggested.) I haven't seen a
halftime show in ten years and just can't get worked up that someone would
let some young kid watch Janet Jackson bump-n-grind.

As far as trying to protect an 18-yo...

Yup, my wife commented on how she didn't like the flag shirt.
Personally, if anything good comes of this (apparently MTV will
no longer be allowed to produce the halftime show), maybe it's
that we won't have to put up with garbage acts like this.

Bill

As long as we don't have to put up with Willie Nelson ;-)

Hey! I'd MUCH rather listen to (and watch) him!

You can't blame anyone else for that. If you know what past
halftime shows have been like, if you know anything about the
performers in the latest one, if you've seen any of their videos
or products, then you would know (based upon what I gather
from your post) that you might suspect that something might
be shown that you wouldn't want your kids to see.

So, don't blame others. Turn the TV off. You control it.
