While not being offended personally (I never watch half-time shows for a start) I agree that it was a deceptive act of intrusion, and should not have been shown.
OTOH some of the reaction has just been rank hypocrisy, such as this from US Rep. Tom Osborne: Quote:
Tom Osborne is a former coach of The Nebraska Sooner's top-ranked college football team, where he had a somewhat more relaxed take on sex, violence and gridiron. Quote:
Quote:
That's right, Congressman Osborne, let's keep sex and violence out of the half-time show and back in the locker-room where it belongs.

I think you've hit on a much more important issue there. Violence shouldn't be tolerated, but it still is. It's not just football - look at Mike Tyson.
