I grew up with people wearing the flag, burning the flag and such.
Which brings about a point. When one is exposed to something enough times they become desensitized. Perhaps that is why everyone who has watched MTV and some of the "racier" programs on TV see nothing wrong, or think it's overblown. Like I said way back. It's the venue that really ticks me off. If this was pay per view, I wouldn't have this attitude. I just think there has been an over-exposure to smut where our children are concerned.
Some parents don't care, but for those of us who do, we have been visually assaulted.
I wonder if any lawyers would take on a class action law suit brought by parents and/or offended
viewers?

I agree with you. I would be royally PO'd if I was a mother of a 6 year old boy and he saw that. If it had been on MTV, okay - its MTV, and stars can and will get out of hand especially when they know they have the production people mostly on their sides. CBS??? I don't think so. While I do agree this is getting way too much attention, I also agree as a parent I'd be just as angry.
Honestly, in my opinion had Justin kept his mouth shut at first I think it would have been a lil' less of a big deal. B/c he didn't respond until reporters told him that CBS was angry. Then it was another day before Janet responded. Had they waited a day, they could have come up with a much better lie.
As for Kid Rock, I don't know....I think it was tasteless.....however, this is the same guy that always is talking about how wonderful the USA is. Which maybe we don't need him as our main sponsor, but at least he's being positive - in a redneck, tasteless, cowboyish way.
I don't know...
