What kind of world do we live in when a family can't sit together and watch the super bowl without seeing such obscenity?The Parents Television Council is tackling Sunday’s Super Bowl controversy. British singer M.I.A. flipped off viewers during Madonna’s halftime show, a gesture that instantly drew comparisons to Janet Jackson’s live “wardrobe malfunction” in 2004. The PTC says the NFL promised the organization a clean show despite casting performers with provocative reputations.
“NBC fumbled and the NFL lied because a performer known as M.I.A. felt it necessary to flip off millions of families,” wrote PTC president Tim Winter. “It is unfortunate that a spectacular sporting event was overshadowed once again by broadcasting the selfish acts of a desperate performer. Last week the NFL formally told the PTC – and the American public – that the Super Bowl halftime show would be ‘appropriate.’ Most families would agree that the middle finger aimed directly at them is not appropriate, especially during the most-watched television event of the year.”
On a less serious note. I would enjoy a M.I.A.
