Let me get this straight...CBS won't air "The Reagans" or the MoveON.org
...ad,
BUT
CBS will run a halftime show that exhibits a stupifying level of badness previously unheard of.
We have;
Janet Jackson grabbing her boobs
Kid Rock singing something like "My hookers all drinkin' up," Justin Timberlake grabbing Janet Jackson's ass and then yanking her leather/metalic whatever it was bra=thing off.
....it goes on and on
has-beens, semi-talented junk.
great show for millions around the world.
Janet..."no BIGOTRY.''' etc.
how about "NO TALENT!" "NO SENSE."

call me conservative if you must.
that sucked beyond belief.

3. don't forget the 3 erectile dysfunction ads during the game.

I, for one, don't want to think about my Dad's ability to get a boner while watching tv.

26. Was it just three?
I started watching in the third quarter and saw three--one for Cialis (the extended ad that explains its benefits, contraindications and side effects), and a couple others.

8. Just think...
if this current trend of escalating what is ok to see on TV by 2030 we will have X-rated half-time shows.

12. My Wife & I Were Offended By Kid Rock
Edited on Sun Feb-01-04 08:50 PM by CO Liberal
He was wearing an American flag with a hole cut in it for his head.

And when he took it off, he handed it to the guitar player, who dropped it on the stage floor.

IMHO, that was one of the most DIS-respectful things I've ever seen on TV.

15. But, it's all okay.
He can act as rude and disrespectful as he likes, because he's "Proud to be livin' in the USA!!"

14. Janet needs to get a new choreographer
She's been doing the same friggin' dance since 1985.

We all know why CBS declined the commercial, because it tells the truth and Rove didn't approve.

18. I think maybe it..
worked our for the best.

MoveOn is far too classy to be associated with the rest of the garbage that's been on this channel today (Willie Nelson excepted).

16. maybe it was good for MoveOn not to be mixed in
with this craven exhibitionism.

For one thing, the children in Child Pay are such innocents, sweet children - I'm kind of glad they got a purer spotlight than being in the mix with the cesspool of Super Bowl ads and performers

17. My husband just came in and said, "is this what they are dying for?
He said it was the same old worn out dancing, ass wiggling crap. Is this the "freedoms" those poor soldiers are in Iraq are getting blasted to protect. I know, the First Amendment and all that, but on the Stupor Bowl with all those kids watching--and they wouldn't show the gentle little move-on ad?

23. I couldnt stand kid rock wearing the flag
I couldnt stand kid rock wearing the American Flag like it was a piece of clothing kinda reminded me of * doing the same thing.
But he hands it to someone and they drop it? doesnt he know how many people died for that Flag? I couldnt take no more and flipped it back to C-span.

25. Draping The Flag Around Your Shoulders Is One Thing
Cutting a hole in it so you can wear it like a poncho and then letting someone drop it on the floor is another.
