Oh those whacky half-time shows
#21
It must have been the most naked superbowl in history. Apparently there was also a streaker during the gmae, who got tackled by a Panthers linebacker and dragged off the field (dragged face down, in astroturf, naked = pain :blink: ).

I thought that they had a seven second delay for censors, just for this sort of thing. Oh well.

I guess the number watching is more important than quality, or quantity. :)

A few decades ago, Charo was performing in the early-AM on the Jerry Lewis Telethon.
She was wearing a structurally-deficient top, and when she started doing the "koochie-koochie" dance, her assets were released. She continued, non-plussed.
The folks on the camera and in the booth must have been either snoozing, or stunned, because the camera stayed on her for almost a minute. When it did finally cut over to a different camera, it was one showing Lewis, off-stage, almost dying from laughter.

I can't believe people would make such a big deal over J.J.'s faux, even if there was almost a billion people watching.

I don't think resonable people would be angry if it was a true accident, but his was obviously deliberate. Perhaps we should start airing the streakers that frequently show up to these sporting events too? Heck maybe consider them a new minority group "clothing challenged" and they get 10 minutes every superbowl to show their stuff. :huh:

The problem is it is a new low. When I was a kid if someone said "bitch" on TV that was a big :blink: now they say it all the time, it's *no big deal*. How soon until boobs are no big deal at superbowl, something frequently wached by pre-teens?

Hah,

This leads me to think about our culture in general. Senseless violence is ok, but a woman's breast stirs up that much. :D

All you see in the title is "Oh those wacky half-time shows." I would imagine that the majority of the LL is male, and thus half-time (read: Superbowl Half-Time, ala FOOTBALL) would catch any male's eye, regardless of the content. I know it did mine, and I watched the whole Superbowl. I wanted to know what, specifically, DeeBye was referring to:
1) The crappy musical performances by... I forget.
2) The fairly decent performance by Kid Rock.
3) Something I might have missed?

Only AFTER I clicked the click, but before I started reading, did it hit me about the JJ / JT thing. I had forgotten all about that. Me and my g/f both saw it, though. We were laughing hysterically. We both did a double-take, wondering "Was that real?" Guess it was. ;)

I told her about it when she rolled over earlier this morning, pestering me to come to bed already. We had another little chuckle about it. :)

I still cared more about the football game than JJ's breast. Sorry, but I don't find her very attractive, and it was too close of a game for me to care about ANYTHING but teh f00tball! :D

I forgot about him too. All I could think of was "David Ferrell - 'We're going streaking!'".

(Note: I just saw Old School for the first time a few nights ago. Sub-par. :P)

They only shot him for a few seconds, and from a FAR distance, so you could barely make out that it was a naked person. As for the flashing by JJ, they cut away from that right quick, and the football announcers didn't even MENTION it (although they had a quick word or two about the streaker; all in good humor). I didn't get to see that tackle, though, cause they cut away from it before that. :( Would have been fun to watch.

BTW - Panthers' coaches SUCK! My GOD, how more pissed can you get? I thought he was gonna strangle the refs more than a few times. What was it, a dozen penalties by the end of the night? Dozen and a half? I forget the actual numbers, but it was HIGH. Seemed every FIVE MINUTES someone was getting a penalty. Kept the amusement high, though. :D

On the news I can see a child's headless corpse, complete with entrails and giblits strewn about, one of the latest victims of the suicide bombers in Iraq. This is ok. The image was so bad that my wife cried for 2 hours and spent nearly a full hour unable to stop throwing up. But this is ok.

Flash a little titty on the telly... and all hell breaks loose. It's just a tiny titty, a rather unremarkable specimen caught exposed in the wild.

****ing bloody blue hell. Are these people so anal retentive that they were potty trained at gun point? Do their little arseholes pucker at the very thought of human sexuality, but mind numbing violence, hey, is that a good thing? When we think of headless child corpses, it just kills the romantic mood. Or perhaps it gives America a great big stiffy seeing dead headless child corpses, but shows that we are limp and impotent when it comes to a little titty on tv.

Right now, my email box is FULL of email, and it keeps pouring in, coming from the Traditional Values Coalition and other folks like that, and all of them are foaming at the mouth asking me to become outraged and help them as I have done many times in the past. I do not think so.

I think I will begin firing off a bunch of letters, all of them demanding more titty on tv.

Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.

It's pretty much the reverse in Canada. While the CRTC (Canada's version of the FCC) doesn't censor a whole lot, they seem to lean more heavily on violence than on nudity. Language is a mishmosh. You don't often hear any of George Carlin's seven deadly words during the daytime, but after 10pm it's "anything goes". Heck, CITY-TV plays softcore porn late at night.

I actually agree with the CRTC's reasoning. What would be worse -- hearing your son say "I saw a boobie! It was totally cool!" or hearing him say "I saw a guy get shot in the head! It was totally cool!"?

In the end though, it's really up to the parents and NOT the government to decide what is or what is not appropriate for Little Johnny/Janey to see on TV. I can think of a few R-rated movies that I will be SURE to show my son when I deem him old enough (Schindler's List is the first one that comes to mind).

I am plotting a terrible act of domestic terrorism. And yes, I hope the Homeland Security Drones that combs the net looking for those keywords find me.

A massive outbreak, hopefully on camera for some televised event, of public noodity. Not just a little titty flashing... but NOODITY. NEKKED. If America is outraged by one lone, single, little itty bitty titty, I can picture the entire country collectively fainting at the sight of all that skin. During this time, I will marshal my forces and seize control of America.

Pinky, I am amazed at people's reaction to a nipple piercing. Are you thinking what I am thinking?

I think so Brain... But why would anybody want to Pierce Brosnan?

Pinky, I am going to have to hurt you. Now concentrate. If people are stunned by a lone nipple, imagine what they would do at the sight of a thousand raging angry pointy warrior nipples... The very thought makes me tingle Pinky.

Narf... er, Brain, where are we going to find 1000 baby bottles at this time of night?

Pinky, your iintelligence is shared by the unwashed masses of America. This should be a piece of cake. The resistance will be quieted with shiny things.

Soon we take over America Pinky... And then we take over the world!

Ahh... Pinky and the Brain... Does the show still exist? I loved that show but thought it went the way of all quality TV. Hmm.. It also made me think of the Animaniac's states of the US song and the alphabet song. I wonder if I could snag those off the net? A Googling we go...

I guess you know what "tackle" means in british english?

Your post reminded me of Dennis Pennis, a british comedian who interviewed celebrities in Hollywood, for one season (by that time everybody new him). He once asked michael douglas if, when he would make a new movie about american football, we would finally get to see his tackle. :D

For the rest I agree with those who think there was a bit too much attention for this. (I guess GWB does everything to get the attention of the not existing WMDs)
And I also think it was planned and that JJ is not very attractive.

Lady Vashi, your assistance in taking over the world will be remembered. Yet another stunning example of boobie to scare the unwashed masses into submission. It will however, need a piercing of some sort, as the unwashed masses have become somewhat jaded.

I believe I will assign you a Lead Pipe™ and have you head the complaints department.

Complaints about the Complaint Department will need to be dealt with though. Somebody is going to need a Bar of Soap in a Sock™ to head up Internal Affairs.
