Freeper Victorians--Flesh at Halftime
This is just too funny. These people are so uptight. If all this energy they are devoting to worrying about seeing part of the human body on the Superbowl halftime show was channeled into say, fundraising for child cancer research . . . well, maybe we could get something done in this country.

1. Good Heavens!
But I bet they couldn't look away! (and then felt guilty about enjoying it...that's so American...)

3. yes and they also had to go in search of all the photos
including the closeup of the naked nipple itself, garbed in metal, as it was.

4. They cheer when Iraqis are bombed and killed
But they're horrifed when a breast is exposed. This country is nuts.

5. They are getting awfully steamed about it
"CBS should have its broadcast license revoked"

"CBS should be fined multi-millions. They should have control over the product that they are broadcasting world-wide. CBS can pass the fines down to MTV and its "entertainers.""

while I hate MTV as much as the next disgruntled 14 yo, you'd think they had shot some one on national television. It's not that big of a deal! Jeesh.

6. The fact that most of the ads were sexual in nature
seems to have slipped their little minds.
While the boob stunt was stupid, I'm more bothered by all E.D. drug adds and the T&A beer commercials.

There's a freeper caller on Rush Limbaugh talking about how her kids were "traumatized" by Janet's nipple; now some idiot is calling for a billion-dollar FCC fine against CBS!!!

8. Obviously they didn't get the memo.
CBS/Viacom are big Bush contributors, IIRC.

9. LOL!
I just read where it was suggested that they get together and file a class action lawsuit against CBS. And I thought these people were advocates of tort reform and wanted to do away with "lawsuit abuse." LMAO!!

10. Tort reform...
...is only needed for those cases where a jury might threaten a huge, corrupt company.

If a nipple is shown on national television, however, there should be a federal investigation and the company should pay BILLIONS. Isn't freeper logic fun?

13. The kids are all right, oh freaked freepers --
We teach our children rules regarding touching and the body in a matter of fact manner, along with the other rules of life, in increasing complexity as they develop. This fosters safety and understanding, and makes the unexpected much easier to discuss.

This was no big deal. It is now, thanks to people getting all upset about it. That's what cracks me up. Parents and moralists have such a tendency to feed their own fears and make the situation bad, when they had a wonderful teaching opportunity that they let go down the tube.

14. Hey don't bring the Victorians into this.
They at least had a social conscience.

15. I thought they wanted less government interference?
Now you can't have it both ways! Do they want the government telling us what to do and how to think and what to see, or don't they????

:shrug:

16. No mention of the three different brands of boner pills?
I was far more offended by the constant barrage of boner remedies than the 1.2 second exposure of Janet Jackson's breast.
