Well Mooh, I'm honestly not sure if there was a rating for the Superbowl. The ratings are voluntary on the part of the broadcaster. You do bring up a good point, there should have been a rating before the performance. I am betting there was.

One aspect that was lost in all of this - the original intent of the half-time show.   It was meant to touch upon the themes of empowerment and getting out the vote. Those ideas were completly lost in the performance and everything, including the game itself, has been lost in the furor of over the breast.

I also think that SOME of these songs and performances also overshadow the many positive messages and images that come across in songs today, even in rap music. There is a great sense of empowerment and self-worth.

Mary, your description of high school with the loud talk, bullying, language, attitudes towards women, etc. - those were issues in my day. There is nothing new under the sun, except maybe we are now wearing our parents hats!
