Parenting a kid would be what my brother's wife does whenever she sees them watching something she believes is inappropriate for her two sons and daughter (under the age of 5): turning the channel, tell them to leave the room or turning the TV off.

I believe there is a fine line between parents demanding a certain level of restriction to TV programs and parents needing to do their jobs as parents (and not the censors or FCC).

In this situation, unless someone has been living under a rock, they should know that the Superbowl could have material not suitable for children including:
- Players dropping the F-bomb
- An all out brawl
- Players getting a terrible injury
- Players getting knocked out in a harsh manner
- Suggestive TV commercials
- Suggestive halftime acts

Given that the Superbowl and the halftime show took place during primetime, when most young children are going to bed, I think it is a ridiculous to expect none of these things to happen. I would also hope that parents would have the responsibility to make sure that their children do not watch this or explain that what they are seeing is inappropriate behavior (teachable moment).
