Well, who needs it anyway...

More and more people I know watch less and less T.V.
And miss the Yankees vs. the National League tonight???

Not my thing. But if that's what floats your boat, can you fast forward through the commercials? I doubt that any of the players will actually be flashing the audience. Spitting and grabbing their groin maybe, but probably not flashing!
Enjoy the game.

Heck, I knew what boobs were and looked like before I was 5.
I remember seeing my friends mom naked, when I was around 8. She freaked. I said, "you seen one, you seen them all" and she cracked up.

That said, I also don't want to restrict others on what they can see. As long as its advertised correctly, with the proper warning to parents, I'm cool with whatever.

I don't want to restrict so long as it is known what could happen. Example: I don't expect to see boobies flyin when I am watching the Super Bowl at 6:00 at night. At 11:00 pm that is different but it needs to be monitored during the times kids could be watching.

Hell, if NBC wants to air porn at 3AM, whatever floats their boat I say.

I really could care less at 3:00 am either.

Oh I see so I should get rid of my TV because people can not act decently when on live TV. Nice, very nice.

This does not even deserve a response. My kids are not ignorant!!!

My boys know what boobs are they just don't need to see them flying around at their ages. This is the mentality that makes our boys disrespect woman. It is sicking.

No we just need to stop acting like it is no big deal for children to see naked WOMAN! No wonder boys/men have zero respect for woman when it is perfectly acceptable to whip your business out on national TV.

Well I wouldn't call it perfectly acceptable, but seeing a glimpse of something accidentally isn't going to ruin anyone either.
