Thank you for posting this, Judith Anne.

We need to have an adult conversation in this country about the cultural suicide that has been taking place since the 1980's. Making MTV a pay per view site like the pervert sex channels would be a good first step.

You're welcome.

Here's a thought--any church group that had a SuperBowl party for the kids, and allowed them to see the half-time show could probably be charged with showing inappropriate films to children...

Oh, absolutely. You have no idea how much I agree.

We've put MTV BET and the Comedy Channel on parental block since the first day our first child came home (7 years). Our friends look at us like we're from Mars when we tell them. We're seriously thinking about expanding it. Perhaps we could block every channel, thereby having to explicitly OK each show our children view.

Apropos this thread, Peggy Noonan's column on it, where cultural suicide leads, and the incomparable Wonkette, here is just one sliver.  The rest is over at  The Wonkette.

Peggy-speak	What it means
This was the Super Bowl, after all, a football game in early-evening prime time with children watching, and nice people who hadn't bought into the concept of seeing a sex show.	I have never seen or heard of professional football cheerleaders and when a beer commercial comes on the television, I find my memory of it mysteriously wiped clean.
