   Oh no dear American Concerned Parent! Things are even worse here! There's   
   even been bare-naked pussy on Dutch TV, and live fornication, and   
   blasphemy, hell, Praise The Lord, we even have cookery programs and DIY   
   shows on TV. And not a politician to do a darn thing about it!

   The titty you mentioned has been on TV nationwide, in longshot, in close-   
   up, oving, in stillshots. Every imaginable way: we've seen it (nice tit   
   though!). We weren't shocked: we're used to much worse.

   You're quite wrong there sir; investigations by CIA and FBI together with   
   MI6 and the Surete National de France has shown that this whole setup by   
   mr. Timberlake and mrs. Jackson was instigated by European tv-stations, to   
   undermine the moral superiority of American broadcasting stations.

   > television??   
      
   The women half will start comparing the boob with their own, the male half   
   will wank on the spot.

   Basically what we usually do if something of such importance happens: we'll   
   invade a small islamic country under some stupid pretext.

   It was a pleasure to help you, and a mildly annoying task to watch the boob   
   again and again, as I needed to do so I could answer you truthfully and   
   helpfully. Please let the Superbowl people know that if you folks can't   
   stand it, they can send all the boobs to Europe.
