Give me a break. If I wanted my kids to watch porn, there are a plenty of channels I could turn to. However, if my children and I are watching the Superbowl, the last thing we expect is to see someone bare their top. What's next? Are they going to start having cartoon characters strip on the Disney channel? Are there going to be any channels we can leave our kids to watch, or do we have to filter every darn channel off? I'm not advocating censorship, but there has to be a time and a place for porn. I would argue strenuously that this place is not on primetime Superbowl.

CJ, You know, there is this interesting little part of your radio, called the tuner. If you don't like what is there, you go to a different station. It works real well, I use it all the time... Fine for Howard Stern, but the Super Bowl? Tenchusatsu EDIT: Just saw your response to Mindmeld, so never mind.

I dunno, I find it disturbing that people, like you I guess, want to restrict what other people watch and listen to. And justifying it on moral grounds. I hate to belabor the point, but that is exactly the same clothes that the fascists dressed their censorship up in. He instituted his power grab in the name of fighting terrorism and reversing the moral decay of Germany. The fact that trotting these themes out doesn't raise the hair on the back of your neck is a scary thought. Well said! Much better than the way I put it. ted
