I gave my impression of this over on the Sports Talk board.
You know something that I don't get?
They have scantily clad NFL Cheerleaders bounce around, jiggling their chests, and wearing shorts with their "tooshies" hanging out, all on purpose, and everyone is fine with that, but when Janet Jackson "Accidentally" has a nipple-covered breast pop out during her performance, everyone is all of a sudden outraged.
Miffy
I have to agree with you.
The whole super bowl halftime show thing is hilarious to me. The reaction to the boob thing is simply ridiculous. People are "abhored" and "disgusted" and looking to lay down millions in fines and penalties in revenge. If people are offended and looking for someone's butt to kick, they should look in the mirror and kick their own butts, first. This is what our culture has become, this is what we have collectively willed it to be. We vote democratic, we rip on conservatives and morality and religion and God, we abhor any kind of censorship and defend all the crap that Hollywood throws at us. The music and presentation for the halftime show was terrible, and it is representative of what's on MTV and VH1 all day, every day. It's just a culture of drugs and sex and no responsibilities and disrespect for all. General thuggery, as I like to call it. It's crap, pure and simple. But it's what we've become. It's what we deserve, considering the choices we've made as a country. As far as the breast, itself? Hell, I believe kids are getting sex education in elementary school these days, aren't they? They've probably handled their first condom by the time they're in 4th grade. Yet that's fine. And let's not even mention what kids can find on the web without having to look too hard. I think what's funny is that parents (particularly soccer moms who vote for the people who support this crap) were forced to come face-to-face with the end result of their policies for once. They have no idea what culture their kids are part of anymore, and when they see something like the halftime show, which was a very tame version of the teen pop culture, they freak out. Guess what guys, there are penalties to pay for voting liberal and condemning religion. And while you choose to ignore it, your kids are paying the price. I'm greatly amused. Nobody ever wants to take responsibility for their own actions. Well, Mr. and Mrs. America...there it is. And we wonder why half the world wants to bomb us into hell and get rid of the poison we spread over the rest of the globe??? So that's my soapbox statement for the day.

I would send an email back to the person that sent you this & remind them that morality & religion
