Violence Is What's Offensive

Dear Editor,
   I watched the halftime show. I have watched all the news spins. No one gets it! Everyone is focusing on the nudity (or seminudity). That is not what offended me the most. I do believe the show was inappropriate. But my outrage comes from the act of ripping a woman's clothing and exposing her breast. Staged or not is irrelevant. The message is the same.
   This issue is not about a woman's breast on network, prime-time TV. It is about an inherent violent act. I have not seen the act condemned – only the result of the act. We have enough problems with inappropriate sexual encounters without expressing this kind of action as acceptable. Young people (especially) need to understand that this is degrading, or it may become hip for our teenagers to act out and start ripping the clothing of any female whose breast they want to view.
   Violence begets violence.
   Men, you better be careful or women will learn from the trained dog on the beer commercial and teach their dogs to go for the groin.
