Wait a second Mick, you are the one mixing up the nudity with the message. MTV and CBS did not apologize for the tone of their half-time show, they only apologized for the nudity.

You are correct - the NFL knew EXACTLY what type of show they were getting when they hired MTV to do the half-time show. MTV has nothing to apologize for, they delivered what they were asked for.

As for Mooh's point, I'm not sure if I agree with you. Do we consider any stage or film performance an "assault"? This was entertainment, even though most of us agree it was pretty awful.
