...boob, not brains spilled all over the road! Lighten up, America. If anything should come out of this, just keep track of the 30 second delay next time. The international streaker wasn't shown until other "news" stations showed it. Final score: MTV 1, Janet and Justin 1, and CBS 140 million viewers. Jessica Land Clear Lake, Iowa...

...While I wasn't offended, I'm glad my grandchildren weren't sitting next to me. That applies to most of the half-time show. It would be interesting to see the effect if all municipalities where the show was aired were to levy fines against MTV, NBC, Jackson, Timberlake, et al. for indecent exposure.

Meanwhile, outrage fetishists nationwide get their fix. This is a no-fault car accident. Everyone wins (except the teams that actually played a great game). On the other hand, what's more disturbing: Jackson's not-entirely-unpleasant appendage, or Mike Ditka talking about his erection during the commercials? Sean Carolan Freehold...

...There's no doubt that a punishment should be handed to someone, but who? CBS is responsible for the broadcast, MTV is responsible for producing the show, Janet and Justin are responsible for the lack of moral judgement and last but certainly not least are the parents of Janet and Justin for their failure to teach the difference between right and wrong.
