You’re forgetting that you were forewarned that the half-time show was being
brought to you by the letters M and TV. Even with that ‘heads up’, you still
sit there and say “I didn’t know the halftime show was going to be
tasteless!”?

Let’s not indulge in sophistries.

And you keep saying “covered nipple” - it wasn’t (well, maybe from the side
to some degree).

The actual nipple was covered. At least, that’s what I saw in all the
pictures. Her breast was exposed, and the nip was covered by that wannabe
throwing star. And for that brief flash during the actual show--none of this
‘slow motion’ zoom in things that CNN, et al. had going on, you didn’t have
the time to see nuttin’! (much to the regret of all 17 year old guys
watching the Superbowl that day, but all they had to do was wait 4 hours
before the media circus that ensued to see the ‘bare facts’)
|
What part of, “it wasn’t,” wasn’t clear? :-)
The star fits over the nipple and has a hole in the middle that the nipple
thrusts through (oh, hey, for a technical explanation, that turned out a bit
steamy). The nipple is exposed. “Covered aureole,” would be correct.

Ahh, one of the 7 words you can’t say on radio. George Carlin was well ahead
of his time.
|
I could swear (so to speak) that I just said that they did say it on the radio.
:-)
It was just a radio station making its own rules for itself.

That, for me, is the bottom line. I don’t like rap music, therefore I’m not
going to listen to a rap music station. I don’t like MTV, therefore I’m not
going to watch MTV or things produced by MTV. Now if I happen to be channel
surfing and I hear rap music, or see an MTV video, I’m not going to write to
my MP and call for a ban or a CRTC investigation--I’m going to accept the
idea that stuff like this is out there and if I don’t like it, I can just
turn it off.
I abhor horror movies. Yet I still see the commercials on the telly for
them. These commercials run considerably longer than Jacksons exposed boob
yet covered nipple. Yet that’s part of life. Getting the feds involved is
inviting in censorship and abdicating personal responsibility. I’m not
willing to do that.
|
The commercials are approved (censored if you prefer) for TV, so I’m not sure
what your point is.
