Hmmmm, interesting memo. Are they planning on doing anything about the crotch grabbing or the bumping and grinding? I guess that wasn't rehearsed either.

First let me say that everyone at Viacom, CBS and MTV was shocked and embarrassed about what transpired at the end of our half time performance.Shocked and embarrassed about the end of the show? What about the crotch grabbing guy, garter belt and little else dancers and their bumping and grinding? The whole show was a disgrace. CBS viewed the rehearsels and didn't make them change it.

"CBS viewed the rehearsels and didn't make them change it." Matt Drudge was saying CBS high rollers all approved of the tit showing and guess what - the tit got showed.
Who was talking about putting the genie back in the bottle?

Madonna was doing this schtick as far back as 20 years ago, rolling around the stage grabbing herself in a wedding gown and lingerie singing "Like A Virgin" on MTV. Thinking that MTV would have provided a family friendly musical halftime show is nothing short of being naive.
When CBS elected to turn the halftime show over to MTV, they knew what they were getting into, just as much as I did.

For those of you who are complaining about what is on broadcast networks, have only one person to blame, yourself. Thanks for the lecture, but I don't even own a TV and haven't for over four years, so you don't need to preach to me.
Which is why I said they could delay it for five years, for all I care.

Get over it people, she apologized and it's doneSo if I rape and multilate a young lady then apologize, you think it's ok? You are missing the point - most real people are tired of the MTV porn and are taking a stand (finally). So it is not done.

Can this idiot Karmazin explain what their "high standards" are? During the whole show there were no indications any standards above the level of the pig sty. Viacom, CBS and MTV are purveyors of the worst moral standards in media, just short of pornography. They all should be fined big time and watched more carefully in the future.

I appreciate all the threads I have seen so far. I learn one new fact per thread and at least one new opportunity for civic action.

BTW...great tagline.

Just look at all the cable networks Viacom owns, and tell me you don't see the same sorta garbage on each and every one of them. Start with Spike and their idiotic WWE wrestling, then BET with their cop killing, dehumanizing of women rap crap, MTV and the Osbournes, VH1 and their Prison Rock, I could go on and on, but we all get the idea. Viacom is the last place anyone should turn to, to find any sort of "wholesome family entertainment". Matter of fact, most of these media giants are garbage dumps of societal decay.

"They all should be fined big time and watched more carefully in the future." Something was mentioned about this being an election year and CBS having return coverage payback, or something to that effect . .

I don't want to get over it. That's why we're in this mess. We complain and then do nothing about it. I want us to keep the pressure on. Just so like a tv 30 minutes sitcom....we move blow and go and then "get over it" and move on.

"I'm sick and tired of the Janet episode. Get over it people, she apologized and it's done. People need to get a life."
Call the police to arrest whoever is holding a gun to your head and making you come to these threads.

I envy your strength of character. Thanks for the kind words.
It was scary at the time, but it was way easier than I thought. Having a 1 year-old( at the time ) gave me motivation.
We did a Nielsen survey for a week. The only entry in the whole week was for a single 30 minute show (A British comedy on PBS).
But I did watch sports occasionally, and weather reports, and news of live events.
I don't miss it a lick nowadays. And my 5-year old son doesn't either.
I don't know if it was strength of character, or just self-preservation...

"I don't know if it was strength of character, or just self-preservation..." It was both.
Now you read, converse, interact, do things with your hands, think, create, and are able to make your own conclusions. Your son will thank you one day for being able to discern right from wrong and will have the advantage of growing up without his mind being poisoned by the political correctness of Hollyweed.
VCR and DVD players are still nice though. The old Disney movies were great for kids.
Thanks for posting.
