Then you, and/or the people who feel this strongly about the need to see whatever body part, in whatever action, anytime, anyplace, need to campaign and petition to get the rules changed to that.
As it stood on the day of the superbowl, there were rules in place, they were broken. And they were broken without the consent of the viewing public.
It’s not a matter of them having been “harmed”. It’s a matter of appropiate behavior in the appropriate place. People have a reasonable expectations that certain places and times are to be treated with a measure of respect and decorum.
The example I used earlier was that of my former dance team. The performances that we put together for a crowd of college students was FAR different than that which we’d put together for the annual christmas show at the old folks home.
It’s not a matter of anyone being “hung up” or harmed by the breasts or inappropriate behaviour, it’s a matter of simple respect.
As I said in the other thread, I was MOST disgusted by Janet’s lack of dancing choreography in the performance. I’m arguing this point NOT because I’m so hung up on boobs, I have a pair, and they’re a LOT of fun.
I don’t speak for everyone else in this thread, or who is on the “this was inappropriate” side. This is just my personal viewpoint. I don’t think it deserves “oh my God the sky is falling” status either.
But neither do I think that it deserves “sweep it under the rug and let them just get away with it” status.
IT’s not a case of “either/or” more important issues CAN still be dealt with and shown on the news, AND this one can still be discussed and dealt with too.
Your points of “people are too hung up on boobs and sex” has some validity. But again, there IS a time and place to make your statement. This wasn’t it. They screwed up.
