If asked, candidates should DENOUNCE CBS for Halftime show

[digno dave]

I know it may sound trite, but i can already see O'Reilly on tonite's show screaming about how "liberals" allow this sort of thing to be broadcast into people's homes. He will blame the "liberals", instead of the greedy corporate TV execs, for this behavior. He, and other repugs, will try to turn it into a cultural war between the mainstream and the "elitists". This will be one of the tactics used for the November election.
Well, i think whether you are a liberal or not we can all agree that the halftime production was typical over-the-top garbage whose sole purpose was to shock and stir controversy.
Don't fall into the freedom of speech battle cry. This had nothing to do with that. It was simply titilation aimed at the lowest common denominator. Drunk neanderthals drving their Hummers to McDonald's to pick up a Janet Jackson bobble-titty doll.

1. Yeah, they should denounce them because..

they did not run the "Child's Play" ad from Moveon.org...

[digno dave]

2. CBS eats shit

That would be a good thing to point to, for sure.
Tits and Ass, "hell Yeah!!".
Economic security of the nation, "what you talkin' about?!?!?!?!"

[Ilsa]

3. hu hu. huhuhuhu (like Beavis)

You said, "titilation". huhu huhuhu. ;)

4. Who Cares?

Nudity is no big deal in Europe. Why are we so uptight? Personally I find violence a lot more offensive.

5. Americans are more upset about a nipple

than they are about 526 dead and 2,962 wounded GIs in Iraq. We should also consider the 98 "coalition" dead, and the 10,000 dead and wounded Iraqis. The dead and wounded in Afghanistan, mostly innocent civilians, topped 4,000 when the count stopped being reported.

There is something rotten at the core when a few seconds of exposure of a nipple becomes a bigger issue than the bloodbath our government has inflicted on the world and on our own people.

16. Absolutely IG!

And Michael Powell rushes out to stamp his moral indignation on it.

20. You took the words right out of my mouth. n/t.

6. My answer

The only thing more absurd than a cheap publicity stunt is asking a Presidential candidate about it.

[THUNDER HANDS]

7. damn DU

kept me on here last night and I missed it. Woulda been the first real boob I've seen in weeks. :)

[maddezmom]

8. come on now...

did you miss all the pics on here last night? :)

[THUNDER HANDS]

10. well....no

But I would have liked to have seen it live. Even if Janet does nothing for me personally. :)

[maddezmom]

11. LOL :)

[Ilsa]

19. My poor little Magic Rat! Too bad I'm not

20 years younger with zero kids and i'd invite you out to the lake to skinny dip. Boobs!

It wasn't about the boob, IMO, it was about JT tearing off her bodice like that.

And I think everyone is making way too much of it. I think they should ignore it like the steaker.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

21. What about the mirror?

:evilgrin:

[mlawson]

9. And get CBS pissed at them??? Not very prudent... n/t

[digno dave]

13. CBS

CBS will handle it just fine. They have enough problems to deal with.
I am not saying theat they should call for a boycott. That's O'Reilly's job.:puke: I am just saying they should, in a polite way, be critcal of it. It is purely a political maneuver. Don't allow yourself to be labeled "cultural vampires" by the repugs, that's all.

[TheWebHead]

12. I guess America wasn't so prudish

in 1999 when Lil Kim wore a similar outfit all night -- not for two seconds -- and Diana Ross touched it...

[digno dave]

14. audience was 100X bigger(at least)

MTV music awards are different than the Super Bowl halftime show.

[Toucano]

15. I remember that

but wasn't it on cable?

For some dumbass reason, there's a different standard for broadcast networks.

Personally, I think it was stupid. I'm not offended by the breast in any way, though. I don't think it was the proper time and place.

I was offended by the memdacious apology by Timberlake. "Wardrobe accident?" Do you think as little of us as Bush does?

[MoonRiver]

17. I hope we spend ZERO time talking about this during the election.

That's how much it deserves. :boring:

[GumboYaYa]

18. They should denounce that show for

being just plain bad, even without the boob.
