I agree that was incredibly stupid of MTV, and CBS for letting them do the show. I was actually more disturbed by the Van Helsing (Hugh Jackman) movie preview in the middle of a family event that clearly has many young viewers. My 4 year old was in the kitchen with the TV on at the time, but fortunately he wasn't paying attention or he'd be having nightmares for weeks. If you don't remember what I'm talking about, go here: http://www.apple.com/trailers/universal/van_helsing/superbowl/. Not the kind of stuff you want your young ones seeing.

>I watched the superbowl and it was clearly visible as well as the little star pasty she had stuck on as well. I didn't appreciate it one bit considering my 12 year old daughter was watching with me. She gasped and asked me "Can they do that on tv?" Who knows how many younger children were watching with their parents. She insists that it was all intentional or else Janet Jackson would not have been wearing a start sticker... My feelings are pretty simple: keep it off the tv and definitely keep it off of primetime or earlier programs. I really don't think the superbowl was rated for it (the vchip stuff) to allow parents to keep their children from viewing partial nudity if they wished. It was unexpected and should not be allowed unless the producers are willing to have their program rated for partial nudity. It is definitely not the most important issue today nor on the hot list period but it is definitely time they started enforcing fcc rules...

>>I don't know if things were visible better on HDTV, but the Janet Jackson debacle, at least as seen on live regular TV, was merely a whitish spot that suggested that the breast might be visible. How the population of the U.S. has blown that so out of proportion is something to behold!

>>Now gay marriage is on the front burner. When are the PEOPLE going to get to things that are REALLY WORRISOME??? The media and your politicians can distract the PEOPLE at will. WMD non-existence is now a non-issue, loss of personal rights is now a non-issue, the pre-emption policy is now a non-issue. So many things that REALLY matter are relegated to the background for the sake of trivial matters that have little bearing on people's day-to-day lives.
