    It shows our immaturity towards our own sexuality, I think.

    And what about the game itself?

    We watch a number of men run around a field for 4 hours running into each other, tackeling each other with all of their force and this is okay, it's "family entertainment."
    But a woman's breast (which gives life, not inconsequently) can't be shown for a fraction of a second.

    EXACTLY!!!!

    personally i was watching the back of my eyelids until the last 1:04 of the game, but have recieved plenty of emails showing jewelry that i've seen first hand for more than 10 years!

    call me crazy( jury is still out), but football is more damaging to society than a nude person.

    Why do we feel ashamed to be naked?

    Yeah, but nude people don't pay the bills ;)

    Really, what's it saying about us we're more comfortable watching violence than nudity? Do we have our values mixed up? And where did this "shame" come from, anyway? It's certainly not natural, as children are very naturally uninhibited about their bodies. It seems it's only after they're taught "shame" that they hide themselves and begin to "feel bad about feeling good."

    hmm..
