Boob vs. F-word
April 10, 2006Indecency has made a serious impact on today’s society because many television shows and radio shows and/or programs have been brought to court on indecency charges. The big uproar is for the court to decide exactly what indecency is.
It was on the night of Super bowl 38 where the fans were gathered watching the overly priced commercials and engaging in the biggest sporting ever. People, adults, were drinking beer and having a good time as the halftime show came on. There were some headline performers such as Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake. As we were all watching with great enthusiasm we see Janet Jackson’s nipple! Boy, I guess this offended people more than anyone thought.
Do children who have not seen a nipple really watch the Super bowl? I don’t think so. Let’s look at the demographics.
New Years Eve, the world renowned band, Motley Crue decided to perform on the Tonight Show. After their performance, lead singer, Vince Neil decided to use the F-word. This was after the ball dropped. I thought there is an allotted time for some inappropriate behavior, between 10p.m. and 5:59 a.m. or is that only for obscene material?
What is really going on? When did Americans get so soft on these different issues? The parents should not let their children watch certain programs at certain time. So what if someone’s boob showed up for a mere second, will that child be harmed for life, I think not.
