My 47 cents worth is the media hyped it up to what it is now the actual incident was not even enough that everyone watching even saw it. They don't show the streakers, boob flashers, mooners  or any other stuff that interupts the events but boy get a 1 second flash of a flapjack and its fockin headlines.  |
That is because the streakers and flashers are not a planned event and the cameras were not on them.  I'm sure that the camera men saw them but didn't point the cameras at them due to decency laws.  The halftime show now, that is another story.  That was planned "Entertainment" (I don't call that entertainment) and it was done live.  So the cameras were pointed at them.
As for the commercials, yes, there were a few that actually exceeded the moral decency levels.  For example, the Horse Farting commercial....That was funnier the hell to me, but I'd rather my kids don't see that.  How about the Potato chip commercial where the old guy knocks down the old lady... Probably a little to much violence there sending the wrong message to the kids.  But, the one with Ditka and that new prescription medication....at the end of the commercial in the Disclaimers and warnings, it stated "If erection Lasts longer than 4 hours, seek medical attention immediately"  Although that is funny and an easy topic to joke about....as adults, I'd rather my kids are not joking about that or even talking about it for that matter.
What is happening, is todays moral society is so downgraded due to people "tolerating things.  Music for instance, when I was growing up, foul language in lyrics was rare.  Now it's everywhere.  10 year old kids are taking guns to school, murder is up and the kids doing it don't even care about the penalties, etc etc.  I could go on for days about this crap but you get the idea.  Maybe it is time for someone to draw the line on moral decency!  Maybe we need to take it back to 20 years ago when all of this stuff was unheard of!  As a father of 5, trying to raise my kids to be good kids with morals and respect, I can tell you...it is a VERY hard job when fighting constantly with the elements of society.  No wonder so many parents just throw in the towel and don't care what their kids do.... That is not for me nor is it for my family, and I'll fight for what's right until I can't breathe no more.
