Kids Still Traumatized 1 Yr. After Seeing Partially Exposed Breast On TV

[mark414]

WASHINGTON, DC—As the nation approaches the one-year anniversary of the Super Bowl XXXVIII tragedy, an FCC study shows that millions of U.S. children were severely traumatized by the exposure to a partially nude female breast during the Feb. 1, 2004 halftime show.

"No one who lived through that day is likely to forget the horror," said noted child therapist Dr. Eli Wasserbaum. "But it was especially hard on the children."

*snip*

"Mommy has dirty chest bumps," said a 5-year-old boy quoted in one of the thousands of case studies compiled by the FCC. "She's like the bad lady on TV. I'm afraid Mommy will take off her shirt and scare everyone. I hate Mommy."

*snip*

Wasserbaum added that children who saw the televised breast in Europe, Australia, and various other nations throughout the world were somehow unaffected by the sight.

4. I know this is satire but, in reality, our kids are being effected by the

lies and deceit that the bush regime is teaching them.
From the election to the coni tales in front of congress, our children are learning that it is OK to lie, you tell the same lie enough people will believe it. If you get caught in that lie, just tell another to cover it up.
It is good to lie so you can get promoted to a more influential job.

It is teaching them that our leaders are corrupt and that they can not be trusted.

9. In the same issue: what do you think? The Rice confirmation:

After a delay caused by Congressional Democrats, Condoleezza Rice will be confirmed as Secretary of State this week. What do you think?

"Great. Now the public face of U.S. diplomacy is that of a pissed-off terrier."

"So she had to explain why she's the best candidate for the job? Big deal. I had to do that last week when I applied at Panda Express."

"Twenty years ago, I never would've believed that we'd have a black, female Secretary of State, much less one who was a conservative warmonger, too. We've come a long way."
