Total Posts: 2486 | Well, I don't want to "offend" anyone but I personally think that FCC has gone a bit too far. I mean, so many people consider it such a serious thing while its isn't really all that serious. I think this country is a bit screwed up on sexual harassment and all the sexual offence. I want to see what you guys think about this but please don't start any serious debates and lets just leave our own opinions to ourselves and not enforce them onto others. Alright, who thinks its was extremely offensive incident and who thinks FCC's Powell has something stuck up his ***?

This is really a time and place argument, it is ok for some shows, but you don't expec it at something like a superbowl... |

On a different note, I don't like watching such things in the first place. But that's personal opinion.

Total Posts: 2486 | Well, honeslty speaking I was working that time so I missed it too and I'm not a football fan either. I also think this is inappropriate for the TV but this is got way too far.

Total Posts: 739 | Really? Yah, I figured somebody'ed sue CBS . . .they've had lods of trouble latley-first the Regan thing and now this. Seems to me their station is going downhill. The thing I don't understand-is if everyone has apologized for it, why didn't they just not do it in the first place? ANyone with sense should have seen what the common public was going to say about it . . .seems that every news channel I watch (FOX, MSNBC, and the local one) are talking about this event. |

Total Posts: 260 | Well, I too missed it (even though I was at a Superbowl party..). And I don't really care about it in anyway at all. It hapened, let it go. But apparently people won't; it boggles my mind. But, if it will get somebody a buck, they'll go after it I suppose.
The only problem with this is that children love this day. It's something they can watch with their dad/family and have a ball just snacking, being with them. And this is just inappropriate for a little kid to see. |

Total Posts: 739 | Yeah. I can picture a family of 4, two little boys, roughly around the same age, watching football with their dad, the momin the kitchen odering pizza, the kids having a great time.
Take the above scene, and then add them gaping as a hot girl and a guy with an earing dance, and then the hot girl shows her breats to the world-can you imagine, AS A FATHER, having to explain to your little boys, 5 and 7 years old, why the young man messed with one of Janet Jackson's, "private areas"????????
This is outrageous.
Some people say grow up. But little kids shouldn't have to see that . . .and when I was a little kid, I watched the superbowl with my parents. This whole thing is not cool |

Total Posts: 2486 | Oh I'm sure many will try to cash in on this. I know Viacom is a big company and probably has many good lawyers but people are always people and will take even the tiniest chance to get some money. Well, I really don't care if Viacom loses or wins these lawsuite but I'd like to see what's going to happen out of all this. :)

Total Posts: 958 | They really should just sue janet jackson instead of cbs...i hate when people sue for the STUPIDEST THINGS, like one guy was trying to sue the cable company, because he canceled service, and they still got cable tv for free. So then he sues because tv separated him from his wife, made his kids lazy, and now he's an alcoholic.

Man! Don't you hate that?
But yes, ever looked at malpractice rates recently? One of my parents is a doctor and he says that he can't make an operation anymore without worrying that somebody will sue!
