Non-censorship

That's not surprising - it was hardly hard core pornography now was it. Well, not to most people anyway, only the vocal ones with the biggest sticks to shake. :(

I thought it was a non-issue too. Hell I watched that program and I didn't even notice the damn thing. Who pays that much attention such a lame-ass song in the halftime show ?

I've seen twats written uncensored on the BBC before at the beginning of a Fawlty Towers episode, but I never thought I'd see the day when they published a news article containing the word fuck uncensored in print. Let alone the phrase "Now fuck off and cover something important you twats!" : http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/4247237.stm[^] I guess you can't censor the news. :rolleyes:

From the ruckus it created you would imagine that they both had sex on stage or something :) I think most people simply did not give a damn about the whole incident but the ones that were offended would not shut up and that's why we're still talking about it one year on. "One of the Georges," said Psmith, "I forget which, once said that a certain number of hours' sleep a day--I cannot recall for the moment how many--made a man something, which for the time being has slipped my memory."
I wouldn't want my kids seeing that, and I'm willing to bet there are a lot more people like me. What I find ironic is these TV stations allow skimpier and skimpier clothing daily and yet when a skimpy garment flops it's all of the sudden horrible. Or seeing 95% of a boob or a chick in lingerie is ok, but the nipple is just wrong. Well, if they would've made her ass put some real clothes on to begin with they could've prevented the thing all together. If people want to look at naked people, then at least keep it on the channels that can be easily blocked. That way everyone is happy and not just one side of the fence. And then, parents can let their kids look at all the tits they want. [edit] And yeah, it is scary that I'm starting to think like a parent now. [/edit] Jeremy Falcon

But I just think too much was made of it...as you say there is skimpy clothing and questionable material on many tv shows (especially some of the stupider reality ones) and people ignore that and one thing like this happens and everyone who's someone tries to get in the news by loudly condemning it. I thought that laughable. Simply fine that woman (who was obviously responsible) and move on.

Well, I do think if the network didn't allow the skimpy clothing in the first place, it wouldn't have happened. I figure they should both be fined. Jeremy Falcon

Apparently it was the most requested replay item on TiVo by a huge margin. i.e. People voted with their remotes; they liked it, wanted it and replayed it to death.

That really wasn't that nice a teat, anyway. Why don't those people buy a magazine or something, and leave their "scandal" comments unsaid?:doh: "If it's Snowbird season, why can't we shoot them?" - Overheard in a bar in Bullhead City

What if you have two kids, would you let the older one look on while the other one is breast-fed? Just what is so horrible with seeing a partially exposed breast (her nipple was covered) for one second? Everyone and their mothers has seen breasts. Regards, Alvaro

I seriously doubt the majority of them would say that to their girlfriends, etc. Some, but not most. Also, I doubt most of them would rewind to show their kids. And, consider the average user base of TiVo -- they probably are desperate guys who spend too much time watching TV (I'm sure to get voted down for that). Jeremy Falcon

Children are born exposed to breasts but somehow when one pops out on TV for a second, it's horribly wrong. Alvaro

God, it seems like you take the "duh, I'm an idiot" position just to prove that you are even more stupid than we thought before. So you don't seem to get it so I'll try to help. THIS ISN'T ABOUT FORCING WOMEN TO SHOW THEIR BREASTS. Yes, the caps is necessary. J.F.C. already! When you say: "Also, would you want me to see your wife's or mom's breasts? I mean if it's no big deal I should be able to check them out with no problems, right?" You are implying that you (the viewer) should dictate that you get to see somebody's breasts without their consent (or their accident). This is FORCING. Could it be any more obvious? I seriously doubt it. What he's saying is, is it a big deal for somebody (the *VIEWER*) to see someone else's breast? Will it traumatize them? Who knows. I seriously doubt it, since we have ALL SEEN BREASTS BEFORE. And even if we haven't (or you haven't), we know for damn sure that nature intended us to see them. I seriously doubt most of your brain even fucking functions (and since you "seriously doubting" something means it's true, it means when I say it it's true as well). I still haven't found what I'm lookin' for - U2
