Beauty or filth...
Whereas the former is a natural part of the human existence and survival factor, the recent episodes of sexual prominence in the Super Bowl has converted to the subject of moral appropriateness. There are folks who choose to see the human body a natural figure of beauty to which I must agree. If there was no attraction to the suppleness and curves of the opposite sex, then human life would theoretically cease to exist. The display of anatomies that happened at the Super Bowl by each of the sexes was evident to those in attendance at the game itself. How ironic that one that was glorified, monetized and then apologized went uncensored while a “boob” in an official’s uniform took center stage prior to a kick- off was not displayed on national television! Was money a factor? Miss Jackson drew muck jack from the incident while the unknown streaker might have to worry about “Jack” in the jail cell. We have the freedom to choose what is it is that we see in the privacy of our homes should we opt to do so. To have this uninvited display that was shown at half time, on be “half” of Miss Jackson was wrong. But not wrong because a breast was bared. It was wrong because it was brought upon without warning to those who might not choose to view it otherwise. They rightfully found it offensive. The rights of those who wish to see boobs should also be granted to those who find such displays offensive. To bare a breast is not wrong. It is a beautiful part of the human body. To bare it in an offending manner is wrong. You cannot have it both ways. This act did offend a certain populous; their rights were not taken into consideration. Albeit it fascinating, I believe that the titillation shown did cross the line insofar as to lower the standard as an American institution. But, am I shocked? No, it could, however, lower the libertarian held beliefs of freedom by those who were truly offended to their very souls should they wish to pursue this "offensiveness” to a limit. And that my fellow members, could lead to censorship which would be more devastating to the Founding beliefs of this country as a whole.
