Don't have a fit about the tit

If it weren't so tragically ridiculous I would laugh.

Powell said he was watching the game Sunday evening with his two children and found the incident "outrageous." "I knew immediately it would cause great outrage among the American people, which it did," he said, citing "thousands" of complaints received by Monday morning. "We have a very angry public on our hands." Powell said MTV and the CBS network's more than 200 affiliates and company-owned stations could be fined $27,500 apiece. "I think it's all of their problem," he said. "The law allows you to reach many of the different parties." He said he would like to see the enforcement penalties strengthened to 10 times their current amount.

"Outrageous"? Half of the worlds population has them. The mothers of the for ever morally corrupted children all have them. What's the problem?

"We all as a society have a responsibility as to what the images and messages our children hear when they're likely to be watching television," he said. "I don't think that's being moralistic, and I don't think that's government trying to tell people how to run their businesses. I don't think you need to be a lawyer to understand the basic concepts of common decency here."

On the other hand, you have to be a stupid, christian, right wing white man not to grasp that seeing a woman's breast is no big deal.

I would understand it if the outrage was related to a man ripping a woman's bra off, and if the setting was very intimidating towards the woman, but the comments all seem related to the simple fact that a nipple was shown on nation wide television.

Perhaps the average conservative person in America gets too little nookie. Relax.
