No, it probably isn't the first time, but the US has more Victorian standards in regards to broadcast television than most of Europe in general. Cable networks have freer rein.

there are lots of reasons why it is blowing up.... most of it is politics.

The FCC is the gov agency responsible for policing US radio and TV.
the head of the FCC is Colin Powell's Son.
The FCC was just recently called before Congress for not fining U2's Bono, for saying F___
the day before the FCC was to go to congress, they levied the 2nd largest fine in history against a radio DJ for some parody bits.
it is an election year, so everyone that want's to say there is something wrong/right with the gov't will use this as leverage.


most people couldn't care less about Janet's 40 year old boob... it isn't hard to find a lot better. Special Interests are just making a big deal about it.

Now there are some special interest groups offended by Kid Rock, that wore a US flag as a poncho during his entrance...

Everyone is just piling on, crying about how offended they are... strictly for political gain. the average citizen couldn't care less about the whole thing.

Anything helps in trying to distract real incidents.

Good that I'm still a little bit European, otherwise I would have been totally shocked, too, and the second New England Patrios Super Bowl win in three years would not have been as enjoyable.

However, I totally agree with the FCC that this type of scandalous display of flesh should be promptly investigated. This halftime show cost a couple of million dollars to produce and all they could come up with was a 40-year old rack? Where's the decency in this? Now, Britney Spears would have been another story as we already had her kiss Madonna. Maybe I should compain to my Congress representative?

What shall I say? 1.5 million people invaded downtown Boston to see the Parade and the City was so nice as to not put up PorterPottys for security reasons as the crown might tip them over.

Well Jens you have said it before in the Mikerowesoft topic. The Netherlands is one of the most liberal countries in Europe. So the only reason this "incident" is news is because of the reactions in the US.

This doesn't mean that there aren't "incidents" like this in Holland... We aren't that holy

For example: Our crownprince is married with a woman from Argentina. Her father was a member of the fidela regime. He was a minister or second minister of agriculture. Left wing people in our country didn't want her father being part of the official wedding... and he wasn't there.. http://squat.net/beakomt/wedding.htm (A bit too extreme article, Not everybody was thinking about it this way..The relevant part is chapter: Some background to the wedding)
I'm not sure how people in Argentina tought about it. Maybe our Green Man can tell us more....

His brother wants to marry with a girl who was a girlfriend of a criminal.. There is nobody who is talking about the good things she did for the world..

We felt it was a perfect desition Co, ppl here want nothing more than punishment for everything that has to do with the Videla and company regime that took down a democratic goverment in a violent way.

It was not enought for these murders to kill their own, they had to pick up a fight with the English when it could have been solved without violence, we didint know we where seen as Irak on 91, by that time propaganda confused everybody.

Part of that propaganda was also the 1978 football world cup wich was celebrated in Argentina, by that time The Netherlands was the best team on earth, they where called something like "mechanic orange" wich they lost the final with the local team.
One of the reasons why they lost was because Johan Cruijff decided not to play the cup becasue he knew all the killings that were going on in the country and understudd how this goverment was making it up so as to distract the horrible backround. You remember this Co?

I think we all have to learn not to be distracted with makeups, the more makeup there is, the more is happening behind.

Thanks for your reaction Jose... I appreciate that.
I know what was going on in your Country during the 70's. I was a child at the time but old enough to understand what was happening. It was every day on TV...


But my point of view is you can't blame a child the miss steps his/her parents made in the past. Just like i can't blame every German the terrible things that has happened in our country during WW2.

There is a movie about Johan Cruijff, Maybe you are interrested: un momento dado

I think it is a big deal since lots of young children were watching the superbowl. I wouldn't want my kids to see that and be scared for life!

MMM, Well I'm a father... When we go to the beach My wife and I don't held our hands for our daughter's eyes while women are walking around topless or in mini bikini's... So why should she be scared for life when she sees Janets boob with a star on it??

For those who blow this up: Don't go to Rio... in a view weeks it is carnaval with a lot of boobs and stars



I wonder if the bomexplotion in Moskou's metro was in the news today...

Do you hear what you are saying... 39 dead isn't much... while in other parts of the world a boob is breaking news...

Those are innocent people who died. So, every dead is one too much!

That's the reason why I started this topic. We have to focus ourselfs to the real incidents in the world and try to understand the reason why they happens. If we do maybe we can solve the problems....
