No, but that's beside the point. The point was that since I was watching the superbowl I didn't expect it.

What a moronic comment.... Have you ever seen a movie where a rape was staged?? YES. Does that mean kids should watch it, since it really isnt rape? Its just fake? Err. NO.

Look at me everyone! I misinterpreted someone's post and I'll type LMAO to play it off! </Thraxen>
You claimed that I thought the US was an over sexual society, when my translation said I didn't think it was. My stance is obviously that an incident such as this will breed the transformation of our great country into one such as France, where nudity is openly accepted to KIDS. I do NOT approve of MTV or JJ to denigrate the childhood of kids who were watching a PG program. Why are you arguing something that CBS, MTV, and the NFL have already ADMITTED was wrong? Were you hiding behind the curtain when God was handing out brains, or do you really know the difference between wrong and right?

Do you not see a difference between the Superbowl (read: most watched event of the year) and some PG live shows?
Well I wasn't expecting to see planes crashing into buildings on 9/11 either. That was pretty traumatic for a lot of kids, but people were ok with it because it showed reality. The same people bitching about this half-time show let their kids watch every Fox craphole show out there, but get enraged over something like that. It's silly.
Ok people, if you don't want your kids to see stuff like this...
THEN DONT LET THEM WATCH TV!
It's a football game, not some family entertainment. Football involves, hitting, swearing, beer, men and boobs.
Hell, lets remove the cheerleaders from all sporting events, they don't promote a positive image.

If you think PG = T!TS, then I don't know what to say to you. Ratings DO protect our kids, that's what they're there for. That's like you saying, "Well the T!TS flashed by Lizzy McGuire at her concert on CBS, I expected that. Next time I watch Micheal Jackson live on TV, I expect him to whip his little weiner out and jerk it to the tunes of "BEAT IT"!
ou've previously proven what a moron you are in other threads, this makes it **OFFICIAL**.

Again, I'm not concerned with what you think I should allow my kids to watch. Just let me know beforehand that there will be bare breasts shown.
I'm talking about the Grammys, Emmys, and other award shows, as well as anything else that is live. Sure the Superbowl is the most watched event, but everyone knows it has sexually explicit commercials. Where is the outcry over Chevy's oh sh!t commercial? Nudity is natural, so it is much less of an issue to me that profanity. It was kids fake cursing! Call the FCC NOW! See where I am going? Tons of people had tons of things to bitch about regarding the Superbowl. Did you expect Chevy to have Children emulate profanity? Don't you think kids are going to pick up on that more than a tit? They've seen tits before... And was is a tit going to do anyway? Make them die? I want a good reasoning on why a tit is so offensive. There isn't one, so people fall back on the idea that they want to be able to watch something without being shocked. I've said it once and I'll say it again: the Superbowl has had a history of sexually explicit commercials, and MTV was producing the halftime show. If you wanted church I'm sure there were plenty open on Sunday night.
You're missing the point. Where was there fair warning that plane crashes were coming up where hundreds of people died? What about when the building collapsed and 3000 people died? We will let our kids see mass murder and terrorism but not a goddamn titty?

That is a terribly weak argument. Evan you are capable of much better than that. Comparing the conscientious decision of a washed up pop start to bear her tits for a publicity stunt to an event that shut down our entire country for days and took the lives of thousands is really, really grasping at straws.
What's funny is that everyone is being calm and discussing this issue is a nice non-insulting way except for you. You've got issues my friend, but please point out how ratings are anything other than guidelines? Again, how old are you, your kids, and what is your religion?

Ratings are there for parents to decide whether the show is appropriate for their children or not. When the ratings LIE about a show, then someone needs to be held accountable. When you can get that through your head, then come back and try to argue about it. I know you're not as stupid as you sound.

So what, you're saying CBS purposely showed a rape during the half time show? Why didn't Justin rip off her pants and "rape" her?

I know what to expect with the Grammy's. I did not expect the Superbowl to become the Grammys. And no, I don't think kids will be more affected by someone simulating profanity than open nudity on stage. I will not be drawn into an argument about why I find it offensive, that's my reasoning, and I'm sure you'd disagree with it. But heck, I don't care if you disagree. You do what you want in your house and I'll do what I want in mine. Just let me make that choice.

Are you being serious? Are you actually comparing the biggest world-changing event in our lifetime to Janet Jackson's boob?

Your solution to the dilemma proves that you were running France in WWII.
Hmm... I don't know. I'll admit that Jackson and Timberlake planned it, but it wasn't as if the mass murder of 3000 people didn't have a tragic effect on kids that saw it. This is the crux of my point. Kids need to understand and know reality and be thought what is wrong and bad. I'm sure that parents told them 9/11 was bad, and that bad men did it. When it came to Jackson they can use the same logic. They can say that was bad, you are NOT to do that, and that it wasn't something only for grown ups. They can say this is behavior that is not good, but explain it was a female part of the anatomy and not for little ones to see. I'm sure you can say that 9/11 had a much more profound impact on a multitude of people, but clothed breasts are in public everyday. I feel dirty comparing the events for sure because they are not comparable, but I am comparing the thought of what we let our kids see. I obeyed my parents just fine when it came down to the rules they gave me. It wasn't until I moved out that I did my own thing. You've got a point that it is totally different, but it just highlights that we think nudity is more of an issue than violence on TV. We'll let our kids see anything with gun play and the like(which gets PG ratings), but nudity is instantly bad. And yes it was rotten thing that CBS did, but what did people expect from MTV?
*Sigh* Look dude, my father died in a plane crash when I was 8. 9/11 was not exactly a freaking happy time for me, but it was reality and we DID let our kids see it. All I'm saying is that it did effect kids very strongly, because I PERSONALLY know how it felt with a tragedy at an age like that. I also read how kids were going to shrinks over it even though they didn't lose anyone in it. Are you seriously telling me that the planes crashing into the builiding weren't a violent event that messed with a lot of kid's minds? Like I said, I feel dirty comparing the two, but the insanity about this needs to stop. How many people had to spend time explaining to their kids what happened when they saw it as school, or at home on the TV? How many parents are mad because they couldn't control that? That's what this comes down to; it's a control issue. Parents want to decide what is right and good for their kids.
