I don't get it. If he doesn't watch that crap, how'd he see the breast in
question?


'Case he was watching the SuperBowl - not MTV or the Victoria's Secret
lingerie show, wingnut! Are you dense or just being silly? I'll explain it
in clearer terms if you really want me to.

And, to be clear, this isn't about an exposed breast. It's about an
attack - right in my living room - on America's version of morality and
witnessed by my little boy.

You are exposing your obtuse ignorance again, Pete. Of COURSE kids care
about that crap!


I didn't say they wouldn't.


Umm, I think your words were "They would not care . . ." but perhaps my
memory is not what it used to be.

I said it's primarily because of the way their
parents react to even the slightest hint of nudity.


No, not the slightest. "Slightest" is perhaps an exposed belly button, a
thong-ish costume on the magician's assistant, an exposed cleavage. This is
typically called "suggestive" in case you are taking notes. That kinda
stuff was unacceptable during my parent's generation but society has evolved
(for good or bad) outside that version of morality.

A boob exposed rather forcefully by another man right on primetime TV is not
a "slight hint" in my Book of Morality.

And the parents present in the room didn't react at all at the time. We
were all too shocked and ****ed off. The halftime show went from bad
(disgracing the US flag) to worse (crotch grabbing) then to shocking
(Janet's goods). It wasn't like we all stood up in unison and spouted Bible
verses. The tiddy was the simply straw on the camel's back. It is only
hindsight that tells me that I should have turned the channel at the
beginning of halftime.

So how many kids do you have, Peter?


One. What's that got to do with anything?


It has absolutely everything to do with it, silly! How old is the kid?
What did he think of the halftime show, Pete? Y'all did watch it, right?

You don't need to have a child to understand
how the way society in general reacts (. . .)


No, of course you don't. But having one sure changes most folks view on
silly things like morality and virtue. You are obviously an exception to
that.

There are lots of societies where an exposed breast is no big deal, and
where children aren't shocked by them. The USA just doesn't happen to be
one of them.


My, that is an absolutely brilliant observation, Peter. The fact that the
United States has a slightly different set of societal rules from other
countries has never occurred to me.

So how would you have felt if ol' Justin and Janet stripped naked and "went
at it" in front of your kid right there on television, Pete? Just curious.
