If your kids were in the room for the #PepsiHalftime show... How did you feel about it and how did they feel about it?

I felt like we’re eliminating all forms of pure family entertainment. It was basically a super inappropriate striptease.

How’s this a family show? #SuperBowl
It was honestly just gross. I’m not a prude. I’ve directed rap videos for Gucci Mane, Snoop Dogg, Ty Dolla Sign etc. but they basically just had a strip show followed by kids on stage and then focused on Shakira & JLo’s butts in front of kids on stage. #PepsiHalftime #SuperBowl
Why can’t some things just be family friendly? If adults want to watch Shakira & JLo gyrating, dancing on stripper poles and shaking their butts then they can go to a show for it. Why must everything be sexualized? What message does it send to kids? #PepsiHalftime #SuperBowl
How many 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 year old girls just watched the #PepsiHalftime show and got the message they need to show their body to get noticed?

How many 10-14 year old boys got the message that women’s bodies are what they should value by watching the #PepsiHalftime show?
Here’s the #PepsiHalftime show that the NFL thought was great for all ages! It featured stripper poles, butt shots with kids standing behind them, adults grinding & gyrating, rope to tie yourself with and plenty of crotch shots! What a wholesome show for little kids to watch. 🙄
Lots of people missing the nuance in my comments about the #PepsiHalftime show. I’m not opposed to sexy performances. I have directed sexy performances. I just think there’s a time and place for it and it’s not during a show being watched by millions of young kids.
Lots of "parent your kids & don’t let them watch" responses as if that solves the issue of our culture being degraded and the loss of any unifying family friendly national events.

The real problem is how many kids AREN’T parented. Those kids spread & popularize a broken culture.
Culturally it would do so much good if we had a few truly unifying national events where we made sure it was really family friendly. If things like the Super Bowl were family friendly, you may not realize it right away but it would have real cultural impact on how kids behave.
