Original MessaneFrom: To: SentFn'Feb 8, 2013 12:14 pm Subject: Re: Inappropriate language and visuals on TV
4,
An additional complaint was the half-time show. Our 7 & 8 year olds now think all that exposure of the human body and the sexy girations are indicative of how girls should behave. The boys think that makes it appropriate for them to oogle and disrespect women. We had to flip channels for something less revealing and missed Beyonce' singing the National Anthem because her half-time performance was too indecent for our small children to watch. It may be football and traditionally a man's sport, but we don't need smut on TV. We have even stopped watching regular TV and are taping the shows we want to see so that we do not have to listen to the overt attempts to corrupt our youth through bad language, sexual innuendos, and outright expsure to inappropriate behavior. This not only includes the TV shows but the racy commercials that accompany them. Most sitcoms are no longer funny. The laugh tracks give the impression that some situations are funny when they are just plain sad. Do not show these programs during Prime Time. By the way, I refuse to buy the products promoted by the commercials of these shows nor ones that have questionable content on other shows. CLEAN IT UP! Please.

End Documentation I am disappointed but not surprised at the lack of care and attention paid to the Superb owl broadcast. My family watched the game and began to watch the halftime show, but quickly stopped as Beyonce put on a show completely lacking in taste and good judgment. We again watched the game after halftime. The foul language later in the program is not a surprise as societal and cultural standards have fallen to an all-time low, and CBS television is leading the way with its choice of programming.

EB/IHD Exported Case:
I was completely appalled at the Super Bowl Halftime Show performed by Beyonce. For almost the entire show, she danced around like a stripper, wore incredibly skimpy outfits, and gyrated her hips as if simulating sexual moves on stage. At one point, even laid down on the stage and sprawled out. This is NOT appropriate for a network television channel and after the halftime show a few years ago with Janet Jackson, I would think these shows would be overseen a little more closely. This was not entertainment and completely inappropriate. I know Fm far from the only person that feels this strongly and I do hope to see a response regarding this complete lack of family values shown during the show.

The Half-time show with Beyonce was demeaning to women and not family friendly at all. I was surprised her bottom end didnt fall ot of her outfit. Why does the FCC and CBS allow role mqdels to appear trashy on TV? What message does iat send to the young girls/women of Ameica7 That its okay to appear with 'ittle clothing ad behave m a way that attracts the sexpal attention of men. turned off te Super Bowl I-alf Time show after the little yonce chose tq represent women m the bit that I did see I am thsapppmted that negativ fashion she dispIaycI on the Halftime Show.

Beyonce and her backup singers/dancers dancing in clothes that are barely there (way too revealing) and dancing in a way that is way too provocative for the general population. There is NO REASON wliatoever for pqlvic thrust dancing on national television ever, much less by scantily clad womn.

Ld7Th7tT7VJ77fl7Thn For the second year in a row, you have broadcasted a rated "R" Superbowl program. It should not be shown at a time when children are up. If you insist on broadcasting gyrating vaginas, nearly bare breasts, hypersexualized commercials, sexual innuendo, and violent language, you need to broadcast this after 11pm. This is totally ridiculous. Beyonce's performance was beyond sexually explicit and is what most normal people consider indecent exposure. Last year you chose to broadcast David Becitham's genitalia front and center, which among many other ads was totally outrageous. You are a joke of a regulatory agency and you obviously do not have the courage or decency to do the right thing. Show some leadership and morality for once and broadcast a game that the whole family can watch together without censoring.

Half time show during the Super Bowl XLVII was indecent and as a mother, I feel I have a right to be told prior to a "Family" friendly showing that material presented at half time is indecent for children. But most especially, the Super Bowl happens at a time when children and teenagers are watching T.V. If CBS can be fined for Flacco's vocabulary then someone needs to be fined for the halftime profane and indecent show such as Beyonce's.

W771777iJfl77w, At the end of the Super Bowl Joe Flacco dropped the F bomb to describe his experience. This is a national event with lots of families watching. I feel the NFL needs to be fmed a tremendous amount of money for this type of behavior where kids are watching. Beyonce's costume would be better suited for a strip joint than on national TV during a sporting event. No wonder the youth of today misbehave.

Something must be done to protect our children, our culture, our nation from despicable ads and halftime shows. The horribly suggestive ad of Godaddy and the sexual Beyonce show was appalling and should NOT be aired on network TV at any time slot. If this was a film, the rating would be approaching R. Think about it, the Superbowl has a mixed age audience, many of whom are children. This has gone on for much too long and it is NOW time to stop it. Thank you.

EBIfflD Exported Case:
I have two complaints about the broadcast of the 2013 Superbowl that was aired by CBS on 2/3/13. The first complaint centers around the Go Daddy commercial. It was completely inappropriate and never should have been shown. The Superbowl is supposed to be family entertainment. This commercial was not appropriate for young children. I had to change the channel because of the filth CBS allowed to be aired in the form of this commercial. I would also like to point out that the Go Daddy commercials get worse and worse every year. At the rate they are going, the networks will be showing soft core porn in a matter of years. My second complaint revolves around the halftime show performed by Beyonce. As I said in my first complaint, this is family entertainment. There is no need for an artist to be on stage performing wearing next to nothing and gyrating all over the place. There are more tasteful ways to put on a show and Beyonce failed to do so last night. At some point, our culture needs to take a stand at indeceny. If you are going to put on an event that is "family" entertainment, then there needs to be greater care taken in the content that is delivered to the nation.

7,7IIS12I77nn Beyonce's perfonnance was extremely inappropriate for the Super Bowl where millions of young children would be watching. She was dancing in a stripper-like provocative way in erotica fashion, opening her legs multiple times right in the cameras so we could see her crotch in tight leather undergarments. I dontt understand why there is no standard for what is allowed for half time anymore. This is not right and I believe the networklNFL/Pepsi should be fmed because this defmitely qualifies as being obscene/indecent for young viewers.

I am writing to express my complete disgust in the ad content during this year's SuperBowl. You have managed to allow advertisers to take what could be a nice family opportunity to enjoy a sporting event, into a freak show of nudity, violence and exploitation of women. How can you allow such distasteful content during a family event? Not only the advertising, but also the half time show as well? Since when is Beyonce wearing lingerie on national television while opening her legs so that her crotch area is right in the camera acceptable entertainment for the entire family? How pitiful that I can no longer allow my children to enjoy a major sporting event anymore because you have allowed these advertisers and broadcasters to throw distateful displays of "entertainment" in our faces. How can the FCC allow this to go on? Allowing this is a direct statement of your own morality and ethical philosophies. You want us to help shape the future? If you think this kind of material is appropriate during family events there is no helping you shape anyone's future. The children of the nation are watching these events and this is how you want to "shape" them? Pathetic! The media has spiraled out of control and you are allowing it to happen. What are you going to do about this?

In tonights Super Bowl half time show Beyonce came out wearing a black one piece outfit that looked like it came out of a sex shop or porn video. Her breasts protruded out, her butt almost completely showed, the middle of her front torso barely hidden, she wore hooker boots and the entire time she was on stage danced like she was in a strip club! She had accomplice dancers too looking and dancing just like her! If I wanted my kids to love sluts, learn how to be sluts I'd take them to places so they can learn slut culture. However I wanted them to enjoy american culture of football. My husband and I were horrified at it and turned the tv off getting them outside. Please express to these networks and shows to properly rate these shows, warn parents about the content of whats coming on, or do not show it at all (preferred).

Beyonce's wardrobe and choreography was indescent. Examples: ripping off her clothing overtly depicts sexual behavior. Her clevage was in plain view down to her waist - often exposing 3/4 of her breast several times during her performance (example: one of the last close up shots of her face, was 1/3 clevage in the tv screen - the suit did not adhere to her body and when she moved, it would show a lot more than when she was still). Fm not exaggerating that her gloves on her hands and forearms, probably had as much material as the front of her outfit, sadly. Her clothing amounted to a g-string with a bra, covered by some black see through lace. This is entirely inappropriate for the viewing hours - impressionable young children and teens do not need to see this behavior. At times her crotch was almost in full view, only hidden by what looked like 1-3" of fabric. It did not help that her choreography was almost shoving it in your face. Even though she had skin colored cloth from her navel up to her cleavage when she was still, again when she moved, her breasts came into view several times. In short - the appearance is something akin to a pole dancer in a strip club (again, I'm not trying to be dramatic - this is exactly how offended I was). The only reason I am providing these nauseating details is to illustrate what was offensive, specifically (rather than just accusatory in a vague manner). The choreography and dress were not "value added" and would not be required for the performance. Beyonce has enough talent she does not need to add sexually explicit choreography or wardrobe designs. I have also written the NFL to ask them to adhere to the same rules on visual content, that they do for verbal content. I consider Beyonce's performance to dropping the f-bomb, visually. The NFL has attempted to take hold of these issues in the past, but they still are way too far inside the gray area. Clevage and mostly bare exposed or skin color wardrobes to simulate nudity, should not be permitted. Anything from the top of a woman's clevage, to the area between her knees and upper thighs should be covered - including not using skin colored fabric. Pretend nudity has the same sexual effect as actual nudity on young impressionable children and teens (ok, and adults). I'm sure you'd agree that you'd probably be blocking out a guy who dances on the Superbowl stage in a g string with outlines of his privates. A woman's behavior and dress on the Superbowl should be no different. Thank you for your time.

For the second year in a row, you have broadcasted a rated "R" Superbowl program. It should not be shown at a time when children are up. If you insist on broadcasting gyrating vaginas, nearly bare breasts, hypersexualized commercials, sexual innuendo, and violent language, you need to broadcast this after 11pm. This is totally ridiculous. Beyonc&s performance was beyond sexually explicit and is what most normal people consider indecent exposure. Last year you chose to broadcast David Beckham's genitalia front and center, which among many other ads was totally outrageous. You are a joke of a regulatory agency and you obviously do not have the courage or decency to do the right thing. Show some leadership and morality for once and broadcast a game that the whole family can watch together without censoring.

Half time show during the Super Bowl XLVII was indecent and as a mother, I feel I have a right to be told prior to a "Family" friendly showing that material presented at half time is indecent for children. But most especially, the Super Bowl happens at a time when children and teenagers are watching T.V. If CBS can be fined for Flacco's vocabulary then someone needs to be fined for the half time profane and indecent show such as Beyonce's.

At the end of the Super Bowl Joe Flacco dropped the F bomb to describe his experience. This is a national event with lots of families watching. I feel the NFL needs to be fined a tremendous amount of money for this type of behavior where kids are watching. Beyonce's costume would be better suited for a strip joint than on national TV during a sporting event. No wonder the youth of today misbehave.

The horribly suggestive ad of Godaddy and the sexual Beyonce show was appalling and should NOT be aired on network TV at any time slot. If this was a film, the rating would be approaching R. Think about it, the Superbowl has a mixed age audience, many of whom are children. This has gone on for much too long and it is NOW time to stop it. Thank you.

wk1y,7F7TIa11rnwa I have two complaints about the broadcast of the 2013 Superbowl that was aired by CBS on 2/3/13. The first complaint centers around the Go Daddy commercial. It was completely inappropriate and never should have been shown. The Superbowl is supposed to be family entertainment. This commercial was not appropriate for young children. I had to change the channel because of the filth CBS allowed to be aired in the form of this commercial. I would also like to point out that the Go Daddy commercials get worse and worse every year. At the rate they are going, the networks will be showing soft core porn in a matter of years. My second complaint revolves around the halftime show performed by Beyonce. As I said in my first complaint, this is family entertainment. There is no need for an artist to be on stage performing wearing next to nothing and gyrating all over the place. There are more tasteful ways to put on a show and Beyonce failed to do so last night.
At some point, our culture needs to take a stand at indeceny. If you are going to put on an event that is "family" entertainment, then there needs to be greater care taken in the content that is delivered to the nation.

The Superbowl should generally be a family event that brings together dads, moms, and children with friends. The GoDaddy commercials (especially the 1st) were obscene - that's not even PG kissing.
Halftime, performed by Beyonce, was also lewd - while she was "sensitive" about her breast exposure, enough croch-centered girating can make a wedding gown obscene. While parents will endure a quick movement or two, three strikes is OUT, and this went on for a LONG time. Later, towards the end, a show promotion with pole dancing. ..really? Family hour for my 12 year old girl who's just now trying to set her standards for decency? Maybe "decent" in a bedroom or night club, but this is my friend's livingroom, with a croud of friends - who shall I embarrass? My friend? Her husband? My girl? Or myself. Pitifull! I feel we were emotionally raped!

Beyonce's performance was extremely inappropriate for the Super Bowl where millions of young children would be watching. She was dancing in a stripper-like provocative way in erotica fashion, opening her legs multiple times right in the cameras so we could see her crotch in tight leather undergannents. I don't understand why there is no standard for what is allowed for half time anymore. This is not right and I believe the network/NFL/Pepsi should be fined because this defmitely qualifies as being obscene/indecent for young viewers.

I am writing to express my complete disgust in the ad content during this year's SuperBowl. You have managed to allow advertisers to take what could be a nice family opportunity to enjoy a sporting event, into a freak show of nudity, violence and exploitation of women. How can you allow such distasteful content during a family event? Not only the advertising, but also the halftime show as well? Since when is Beyonce wearing lingerie on national television while opening her legs so that her crotch area is right in the camera acceptable entertainment for the entire family? How pitiful that I can no longer allow my children to enjoy a major sporting event anymore because you have allowed these advertisers and broadcasters to throw distateful displays of "entertainment" in our faces. How can the FCC allow this to go on? Allowing this is a direct statement of your own morality and ethical philosophies. You want us to help shape the future? If you think this kind of material is appropriate during family events there is no helping you shape anyone's future. The children of the nation are watching these events and this is how you want to "shape" them? Pathetic! The media has spiraled out of control and you are allowing it to happen. What are you going to do about this?

Beyonce and her girls were just about naked! they should have had a pole with all the profane moves she was doing. I had to turn the TV off and just forget about looking at the rest of the game. The blackout should have stayed off,this is not appropriate. Last year Madonna tried,then Janet Jackson showed herself, when is this pushing it to the limit going to end. This isn't the oniy thing going on with TV. Two and a half men is nasty and just about every 30 minute show feels the need to talk about sex and swering. Two Broke girls talks about men's body parts. I don't let my children watch TV unless I screen it first. If this was cable I would not be sending this, but this is regular TV. Most of the shows that come on has flit or sex in it, it has become worst than cable. Please clean up the TV Stations. Sincerely, Teresa I put the Superbowl in the space above due to the fact that this draws the line, It was worst than Victoria Secrets fashion show, which needs to be taken off the air. Sex and profanity does not belong on TV.

PQ7Y,7!7771J7flflw: I am wondering why Beyonce's Superbowl performance is not considered obscene material? Even if you got past the way she was dressed, she spread her legs open, gyrated and spanked herself. This was very vulgar and was basically a peep show broadcast into the entire nation.

Name of ProgramfDJ/Personality/Song/Film: Super Bowl There is no better sport than football. Football is far and away the most entertaining sport in the world. Furthennore, with so much of the entertainment industry's reliance on woton sexuality and violence to attract viewers, sports in general are typically the last family-friendly option within the mass media. As a father of four young children, I'm deeply concerned about wholesome entertainment options for my family. Consequently, we had to turn off the television during the halftime show as my nine-year-old son was watching the game with me. Between Janet Jackson's infamous wardrobe malfunction and BeyonceTs prostitue/dominatrix portrayal, the halftime show has gone beyond entertainment to wallow in the dregs of carnality by appealing only to the basest of human desire. There is no creativity or entertainment value in sexualized gyration and hefting cleavage. Where we had to turn off the television for the halftime show, we greatly wished we would have turned it off prior to hearing Joe Flacco's f-bomb with all four of our small children in the room. Yes it's fun to hear the play calls at the line of scrimmage, but hearing profane and course language isn't worth it I'm sure the language on e field is terrible, but please leave it there. I do not want to have it in my home. Yes, one day my kids will learn all about the nature of sexual relations as well as all the base and crude language mankind has yet to invent. However, please let them learn it in the proper time and place rather than subjecting them to it prematurely simply because they watched a football game with their dad. The NFL and CBS owe the fans an apology for providing such filth. Please clan up your act or there will be one less family watching Super Bowls in the future.

y,,7,n7,J;i;nftJ, I am appalled at Beyonc&s performance during the half time show of the Super Bowl. She basically humped the air, simulating sex for 13 minutes. Completely inappropriate as family entertainment. I was shocked this was acceptable and sent my 10 and 17 year old sons outsideso they would not be exposed to that garbage. Also, Joe Flacco's use of the word 'Puck" after the game was also incredibly inappropriate. Until the FCC holds the NFL to the same standards as everyone else, I am afraid they will continue to air obscene halftime shows.

Go Daddy commercial,and Beyonce' was way too PROVOCATIVE for "family viewing. This is a sports event viewed by church groups and CHILDREN! This event is should not be a halftime striptease for the male viewers. Consider rating the half time performances and sexy ads.

W77PI17i7flrni For the little bit of the Superbowl I saw thjs past year, I fqund some commericals and imes from the halftIme show very offensive. The 2 Broke Girls pole dancing commerical ws R rated. Stripping clothes of and doing a pole dance was enough for me to turn the channel. The cQmmerical with the old people making out & th old guy p1asterirg his chest on the window of the resturant was unconfortabl - anpther chael changer. I did not watch all of BeyonceTs halftime show because of her smutwear clothes By theictures on the ipternet her dancing was very suggestive & disgusting Shame on the NFL & CBS! This is notfmily friei4y.

P,7ITi17flThn For a family event I was shocked and extremely disappointed at the lewd and promiscuous half time antics performed by Beyonce. She obviously can sing, but this show did not highlight her musical abilities. Instead, her adult "moves" and lack of clothing would have been more appropriate in a strip club or gentleman's club. This lewdness was every bit as pronounced and out-of-place as a prior year's super bowl haiffime "wardrobe malfunction". It is ridiculous to have to send children out of the room during family-advertised events such as the super bowl.

wyy!thTp,J1m During Beyonce's Super Bowl Half-time Show, I was forced to turn off the television. As this was aired as a family event, I was dismayed to see Beyonc&s performance uncensored. She was wearing a leather bustier with strategic cutouts and, at times, grinding on stage in front of the cameras. She was rolling on the ground and spreading her legs like a stripper. She and the other dancers continued to grind, gyrate, and pose in sexual, almost pornographic manners. This sexually-charged performance was not what I would deem family-friendly in the slightest. All that was missing from being in a strip-bar was someone actually putting dollar bills in her bustier, followed by the removal of a portion of her barely-there costume. If this performance was family-friendly, why not allow it for the Presidential Inauguration festivities?

This complaint is in regards to the Commercials aired during the Super Bowl, 2013. Many of the commercials naked supermodels, Go Daddy's french kissing commercial, and Beyonce' dancing provocatively on stage as millions of families, including children and impressionable teens. Obscene and indecent commercials are NOT acceptable 'family entertainment or material' and it put a dark cloud over the kind of material the FCC now allows to be viewed during prime/family time. So embarrassing! !PLEASE raise the standard for the material families are allowed to see during prime time viewing.

I am very disappointed that the entertainment wasn't more family friendly. How many families with kids had to sit through Beyonce's strip tease and very inappropriate dancing, and song choices. I will never get use to the fact that adults don't think about the children that will be watching. I also wish something could be done about all the inappropriate half dressed woman on commercials - The women in sexy underwear such as in the Victoria Secret is very offensive. If woman in a household or their adult daughters don't walk around there house in front of the men in the house in there underwear then why is it alright to be exposed to other women in very seductive under garments. Lets clean up the things that we are being exposed to. Please
Sincerely
