Superbowl Halftime

All the shock and outrage about Janet Jackson's exposed breast during the Superbowl halftime show is a little tiring. Sure it was intentional. Sure CBS and MTV knew it would happen. Sure it was nothing more than a publicity stunt.

As for myself, I found Nelly's ongoing crotch grab and Kid Rock's American flag poncho far more controversial and offensive. Unfortunately, it seems Nelly's "attitude" about his privates and Kid's appropriation of the flag as clothing are no longer remarkable to the public. The debasement of our society continues unabated, and whoever decided to put MTV in charge of the show needs to be shown the door.

Update: Sergeant Stryker chimes in with a military perspective:
Terrorists didn't strike at this year's Super Bowl, though terror did strike viewers of the event as a "wardrobe malfunction" resulted in the accidental deployment of Janet Jackson's right breastisis during the Halftime Show. Officials are scrambling to contain the damage caused by the uncommanded mammary release, with many calling for an independent investigation into pre-Bowl intelligence declarations that Janet Jackson's wardrobe was "safe, secure and no threat to the television viewing audience."
On a related note, a streaker got on the field at the end of halftime, and you can bet he will be charged with indecency and spent at least last night in jail. For some of us, he was the least indecent part of the show.
