Shakira and J.Lo: Over 1,300 complaints about Super Bowl halftime show - CNN
They thought that the halftime show was too racy for family viewing.
I did see part of it, and it was quite racy, but I don't think it broke the barrier of "porno." I'm not sure how it would encourage sex trafficking either.
At least they didn't have any wardrobe malfunctions this time.
Some also brought up #metoo in the complaints:
Some people are threatening to boycott Pepsi, the Super Bowl, and even the NFL. They're really mad about this.
So, what do you think about this?
What should next year's Super Bowl show be?
Maybe they should just have high school marching bands playing wholesome, patriotic songs. I always thought those halftime shows were a bit overdone anyway.
Families all over America gathered on Super Bowl Sunday to watch the Kansas City Chiefs battle the San Francisco 49ers, turning one of America's most beloved sports events into a cheerful family affair.
Then came half time.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) received 1,312 complaints from viewers who had something to say about the halftime show featuring pop queens Shakira and Jennifer Lopez.
The singers danced on poles, twerked, belly danced and made more than a few sexually suggestive gestures.
They thought that the halftime show was too racy for family viewing.
Some of the complaints, which were sent to CNN by FCC officials and first obtained by WFAA, came from parents who felt their children were exposed to a "porno show." Other adults thought the show encouraged sex trafficking.
And some people were upset no public warnings were given before the show, which one viewer said was less a musical act than an "X-rated strip club performance."

Some also brought up #metoo in the complaints:
Many complaints mentioned the "Me Too" movement and sex trafficking.
"In our country there has been a push for women's rights and more opportunities along with the Me too movement which is a good thing," one Ohio viewer said. "This takes us back to where women get their worth from their sexuality not their brains/personality and I don't appreciate it on a family friendly broadcast."
"This is not appropriate family entertainment as the Super Bowl advertises. It was appalling! And then having young girls join the spectacle," a Kentucky viewer said. "No wonder there is sex trafficking when you call this family entertainment. And where's the Me Too women? Do you not see the hypocrisy?"
Some people are threatening to boycott Pepsi, the Super Bowl, and even the NFL. They're really mad about this.
