CBS Outrage at CBS

1. 45th Med, this is NOT directed at you:

WHO GIVES A SHIT?

My god, has the whole god-damned country gone as puritanical as Ashcroft? Jesus!

[45th Med]

3. I'm down with more nipples being shown on network TV

I contribute to my local PBS station, they show buttocks, breasts and all manner of things felt to be 'taboo' to the puritans who seem to be running this country. I grew up in Europe, somehow I don't think the exposure to sex, drugs or violence has corrupted me.......or has it?

LONG LIVE INDEPENDENT MEDIA!

4. Us Puritans

I don't care much about Janet Jackson's breast, but I was watching the Super Bowl with my children. We didn't watch the halftime show, so we missed it. I'm not sorry they didn't see something that I don't think they are ready for. If my belief that my children should see age-appropriate entertainment makes me a Puritan, so be it.

7. I understand where you are coming from.....

the problem with CBS is that they seem to have approved something way out of line for the timeslot and program. But, I can't think of any better way to improve ratings for the Superbowl then by having a half-time stripshow....lol.

Know what I mean?

8. Children should NEVER be exposed to breasts.

Especially at feeding time.

Who friggin' cares? Once the children are old enough to know what the big deal is, they will be actively searching for it themselves.

What silly creatures we are.

15. A woman having her front ripped off just to expose a "nipple enhancer" is

Not proper entertainment for young children and frankly the message it sends is horrific! Both for the female and the male who performs the act. The message it gave was what?

That wasn't a breast you nursed your child with. It was a breast displayed for sexual enhancement. And the ripping of the clothing to expose it also sends a rather odd message about appropriate behavior.

18. Who cares?

Big Deal. Young children don't understand that it's "bad". At least not until the "grown-ups" start making a fuss over it, and replaying the clip on CNN 5,000 times.

Use your head.

2. Why her RIGHT Breast? A hidden message, perhaps?

Shouldn't her LEFT Breast get equal exposure?

16. Feminazi's ! Are you sure Fredrick that you're in the right place here?

The only person who uses that term are Limbaugh ditto heads. It's really offensive to use to females here on DU.

[TexasPatriot]

5. if she'd had an american flag tattood across her breast

the republicans would approve.

the problem with naked breasts is they're unpatriotic

[Neshanic]

9. Us liberal Gay Puritans did not like the way is was shown.

Having breasts on TV is no big deal, but a leather clad,whore-slattern outfit ripped off by a sexy, brainless, packaged, imbecile that was actually a violent act, sends a whole diffent message.

Just call me old fashioned.

[45th Med]

10. LMAO! Liberal Puritans.....

that's a whole new stereotype to play with!

BTW, that outfit Janet wore was just plain WHORISH and not to mention UGALEE! OH, and there's nothing sexy about Justin "I stuff my crotch" Timberlake....

[enki23]

11. or...

you could see it as a powerful woman clad in a xena-esque gladiator outfit being overcome by a prissy, slovenly clothed man-boy whom she had previously been dominating. thus showing the uselessness of sex stereotypes. or maybe it was the image of tearing back the darkness of facism to reveal the blazing sun-clad breast of freedom. or maybe she was blake's woman clothed with the sun. or maybe she was portraying a powerful, militaristic man. and he the younger, peaceful man disarming the forces of darkness and militarism by tearing away its hard covering to reveal the gentle, nurturing rays of love, and the bounteous spring of peace and joy of which we all could drink if only we shed our vestments of war.

[Old and In the Way]

12. I think you give MTV way too much credit, .....

Now if she had had a MoveOn Tatoo on her breast, that would have been awesome. Exposing the truth which was being held underwraps by the corporate media whores...

[savistocate]

14. What "the deal"is

Amazed no one is reacting to it. CBS refusal to run political ad
as being "too controversial!! This is beyond great they'd approve
this exposing flesh scene!! Irony in spades !!

The ad was putting the administrations face in it. Their crazed deficits which children of America are enslaved to.

[Fovea]

17. Yep

THIS is where the black eye will really come from.

MoveOn has an objectionable message, but the rest of it, horse fart included is not?

:eyes:
