This year's Super Bowl telecast generated about 150 complaints to the Federal Communications Commission, with the bulk of the beefs centering on Prince's halftime performance and a Snickers commercial. As seen in the letters on the following pages, many correspondents were upset because they believed that the rock star was manipulating his guitar as if it were a penis.

Naughty Super Bowl Sparks Beefs To FCC - March 5, 2007



even though that's exactly what i was thinking when i saw it, how fucking ridiculously miserable can you be, exactly, to write to the fcc about that?

the "pro-homosexual theme" of this year's event, telecast on CBS, was "disgraceful." The writer added that "just because 6% of the population is gay," porn did not need to be included in the broadcast.

heeeheee. yes. yes. because gay people are the only people who enjoy porn. it's most definitely not a multi-billion dollar industry that has seen even the most prudish of bitches take a peek here and there.

Another purportedly offended viewer was concerned that the halftime show would have an unfortunate lasting effect on his son, who "hoped to be a quarterback and now he will turn out gay...Thanks CBS for turning my son GAY."

i don't even know how to respond to that. anyone who would utter anything as absurd as that doesn't deserve to have children.

The Snickers commercial--in which two mechanics accidentally kiss as they jointly eat a candy bar--repulsed some football fans, one of whom wrote of feeling "violated" by the ad. "God knows, I didn't turn on the superbowl expecting to be tricked into watching gay sex!"

you know, i watched this game pretty closely being as my heartbeat was in direct synchronization to brian urlacher's and my overall happiness for weeks was directly dependent on a bears win (hence the miserableness) and i'll be damned if i saw any gay sex. i'm thinking about finding a copy of the broadcast and running through it a little closer. were the "offenders" at least hot? does anyone know?
