> > > You guys all probably saw it when it happened, or read about it the next day. I recorded the superbowl and watched it two days later, and I was rather shocked. Personally I think those two should get some jail time or maybe just a massive fine for pulling something like that during the quintessentail family TV event, but that's just me. Anybody else have comments, concerns, questions or recipies?

It was on the screen for all of maybe two seconds and I certainly didn't feel the need to launch into a long discussion with my kids about the immorality of it, or what people should and shouldn't do, or anything like that.

Yes, it was inappropriate in its context, but it's not like this was the first time that a bare breast has been shown on network television. ER and Chicago Hope both have shown them before. Heck, even old Benny Hill shows would occasionally show it. But we allow that because in the case of ER and Chicago Hope it was in a medical context.

> But did you find it offensive? I thought the show was a little offensive, and certainly the lies about how it was an accident were pretty offensive. Most offensive of all are the stories about class action lawsuits and people calling for fines for every station that carried the Super Bowl. But anybody who is offended just because they saw a breast has a serious problem.

No, I wasn't offended by it at all. I wholeheartedly agree with you that the class-action lawsuits and ridiculous fines, along with all the other grandstanding, is offensive.

What is wrong with people today? Maybe I'm just noticing it more now, but I don't remember this country ever being so hyper-sensitive to such minor things before. And I'm referring to the last two and a half decades here...that's about as far back as I can remember. :)
