I saw some of the halftime show last night but missed Janet Jackson’s special presentation. Even without that incident, planned or not, the pelvic-pumping, crotch-grabbing spectacle was repulsive. “Dad, why are they doing that?” asked my son, age 6, just before his bedtime. What was I to say? “Some people call it dancing,” was my lame reply. I should have told him that maybe all the dancers forgot to go potty before they went on stage. Previous halftime shows have struck me as extravagant but not objectionable. Many of the commercials were astonishingly vulgar as well. I’m in total agreement with this Tom Shales column. Shame on CBS. At least the game was good–proof that entertainment doesn’t have to be a piece of scandalous choreography in order to excite.
