We've slipped off the road into the ditch in this country IMO, when an incident such as what happened at the SuperBowl half-time show can incite people to such outrage as has been expressed by FCC chairman Powell and others. I just read this at my homepage this morning:

Family Group Throws Flag At CBS
A family advocacy group is urging the FCC to get tough with CBS for its airing of the Super Bowl halftime show.

The Family Research Council says it's sad that parents can't let their kids watch the Super Bowl without being exposed to "nudity and other vulgarity."

The group says CBS was wrong to turn over the halftime show to MTV, which it says revels in its ability to shock.

In a letter to the FCC, the group urged the federal agency that oversees broadcasters to make an example of both CBS and MTV.

I don't how others here feel, but for me this entire affair is nothing but ludicrous. What a mockery of our humanity when the sight of a woman's bare breast is horrifically indecent and the height of vulgarity - yet the sight of people shooting each other, or beating each other with baseball bats which are shown on the evening news broadcasts is perfectly acceptable. Also, the amount of graphic violence that appears in movies and video games does not result in the amount of indignation that the SuperBowl incident did just amazes me. I think our country is just a bit insane.
