I hear you and see your point. I think the Go Daddy commercial with the kissing was over the top. IMO.

Goes back to the gay's in the NFL thread. Everyone has a threshold. I didn't think the halftime cross mine but the go Daddy Ad did. At least as far as my 4.5 year old son watching it.

I'd worry more about the commercials then the half-time show.
1) Commercials are "random", you don't know which one is coming so your kids may or may not be around when it comes on. The halftime show certainly had enough lead in that if you don't want the kids to see it, you know when to change

2) Commercials could be as soon as the game starts, I think the go-daddy crime was on before 7, certainly well before anybodies bed time. the halftime show probably came on more in the ballpark of 830, certainly you can have any aged kid go get ready for bed, brush teeth, etc etc and convienently have them miss it.

Still, if you are worried about it all, and you have a dvr, just build in a delay, and then fast forward over any commercials or parts you don't think you want your kids to see.

Ultimately there are solutions without censoring or restricting what was a decent halftime show for millions of adults who want to see that act.

I agree there are plenty of solutions just ones I feel a parent should not have to make when watching the SB. Also who wants to fast foward over the comercials that's what half the viewers watch to see.

Agree 100% I had to tell my young daughter, "thats not the way a lady is supposed to act in front of other people, I don't care what she does for a living". Unless of course she is a whore.

Unfortunately, we as a society think the only way we can be more "modern or advanced" than the previous generation is to accept a way of life with lower standards and morals. You would think if mankind were truly moving forward, it would be the other way around.

We are being taught (mostly by the media) and in schools also that the modern way of being considered civilized is to be tolerant, thats the problem! No Standards or Morals and no Conscience for what's Right and Wrong.

Then we wonder why our youth are so screwed up today...

I don't know you daughter's age but do you change the channel during the commercials?I have three girls myself(all grown now) and the things I thought they should'nt see ,they already new about ,I was the one uncomfortable with watching it with them, they were fine.
Remember when parents thought the same way about Elvis?

FD What percentage of the superbowl viewership is made up of "parents with small children" and then further out of that percentage whats the percentage who can't simply change the station. Now whatever you think that percentage is lets compare it to the sum of the following:
males without kids that like watching beautiful ladies sing
females wbo want to see one of their favorite pop performers
males with kids who can excercise discretion and still like to watch beautiful ladies sing.

I am willing to wager high dollars that the sum of the latter outweighs the percentage of the former. and again, it ain't even close.

I think the puppy bowl might have been on at halftime. great alternative if it was.

Puppy Bowl was very competitive this year. The dogs almost pulled off a comeback win vs. the canines.

I really think its the parents job to control what their kids are watching rather than the TV show being wholesome for everyone.

If your kids stumble upon a porn site are you going to blame the porn company?

The site where I watch my TV shows has ads for naked women, are you going to blame them?

Parent your kids, stop your whining and get out of here with that bs.

I agree and I never said any different. I said I just feel the SB is one of those times a parent should not have to worry about the content of the programming.

Nothing was wrong with the content. You are just being irrational and hypocritical as hell.


Back in the days, people like FD complained about this guy in the same fashion.

You say you agree, but then your next sentence specifically contradicts DRave's comment.

The Superbowl is a mass appeal effort. It's not Barney, which is intended for little ones, or Spongebob which has it's audience, or 2 1/2 men which has it's audience. The SB tries to appeal across the spectrum, so if a parent thinks that they shouldn't have to worry about a show which is trying to reach over 100m different individuals, than that parent is clueless about how TV marketing works.
