Are we serious here.... The facist FCC is going after CBS over a boob but it will continue to allow the type of violence that we see on Network TV. Has anyone ever seen the show "24", or the show, the Shield. Great shows but full of extreme violence. I guess torture, rape, murder is just fine to show on Network TV, but a Boob with a pastie's not.

Folks we live in a very back ass Country!

11. "many young boys"
When I arrived at school this morning, two of the nine-year-olds were in my room, *very* loudly recounting the game.

"OH MAN DID YOU SEE THAT PLAY WHERE...IF I'D BEEN THERE I'VE HAVE BEEN LIKE 'YO, BACK OFF, MAN!'...HE HAD A CHANCE TO SACK THE QUARTERBACK...MAN, THE PATRIOTS CHEATED...MAN, YOU JUST DON'T KNOW, I'D HAVE BEEN ALL OVER HIM...MAN, AND WHAT WAS THAT THING WITH JANET JACKSON?"

(pause)

"EWWWWW! GROSS!!!! THERE WERE TWO SECONDS LEFT ON THE CLOCK AND..."

This is what these young boys of which you speak think of an exposed, tasseled breast, and it's normal.

If you want to speak of harm done by the Super Bowl, let's talk about the fact that half my kids were asleep most of the day, having stayed up to watch the game.

5. CognitiveDissonance Nation
We can now see corpses in various stages of decomposition on network television. A breast, however, is the work of Satan.

I LOVE my country...

6. I find football a very violent game.
So I guess a flashing look at female anatomy seems mild to me. Shouldn't children know what those private parts look like anyway? I'll admit out in public is not a good place for this display. They aren't called "private parts" for nothing. Yet, a cheap publicity stunt pales to me to even the news coverage we get about the war

7. the whole half time
was shit for the masses. the real problem was that fuck`n racist country singers lynching song. someone last night pointed this out but boobs rule. also the guys on 670am Chicago brought up the fact that the NFL has players who are playing with felony convictions for serious crimes and the commissar get`s outraged about a boob..and nothing about lynching "gangsters"in the streets

9. Yes you're right about the masses
thats why I never understood the fury over CBS not letting that MoveOn ad air. It would have been a waste of money for that audience.

8. Screw them
They need to go down and burn. These fascists will not hesitate to go after anyone who disagrees with the shrub so let them pretend to go after one of the shrub's supporters. The sooner "network TV" dies the better.

10. Uh last time I checked
CBS was owned by Sumner Redstone - not exactly a right winger. They also own Viacom and Showtime - which air the Queer as Folk and the new lesbian show. So you're actually pissed at a liberal.
