Animal House: Germans Bombed Pearl Harbor

1300 Americans lodged complaints decrying the suggestive nature of the Superbowl’s halftime dance show. Nothing is sacred.

WFAA:

For some viewers, the outrage was about more than just costumes and dancing. It was about parenting.

“As a father of 2 teen girls I feel obligated, at this point, to file a complaint as I am at my wits end,” a man from Maine wrote. “That “show” should have been reserved for late night cable TV … As a society we are talking out of both sides of our mouths and confusing kids. We need to do better, much MUCH better. Please help put a stop this disgraceful type of behavior being pushed on our children.”

Complaints poured in from 49 states.

Texas viewers had the most complaints — nearly 140.

There were zero complaints from Vermont.
