i have absolutely no problem whatsoever with what was shown on tv. i could also basically car eless that janet jackson flashed america during the super bowl. i think that americans are desensitized to violence, and yet there is moral outrage over anything remotely sexual.

what i do see wrong about this however is that the nfl runs a complete double standard. they criticize espn for airing playmakers because it portrayed nfl players as violent and the league as full of sex, yet they advertise their brand with somewhat racy monday night football intros and endorse video games where post play violence is encouraged and rewarded. the hypocrisy of the situation bothers me much more than seeing faked nudity on tv.
