Shorter Religious Conservatives: "Anyone who even hints at enjoying sex, sexual content or anything related to bumping uglies not involving making teh babies is addicted."
I saw a game in a Methodist church last week that was like the game of Life, where you went around a board and won or lost points based on what you landed on: bringing friends to church, getting married, adopting, sleeping in on Sunday, getting a divorce, etc.
The box that lost you the most points by far? Viewing pornography. Misplaced priorities, people.
The whole porn thing is a huge issue in Nebraska. There's all these billboards with Cornhusker Football players (the only celeberities in Nebraska) with the motto "Real Men Don't Use Porn".
But if you go across the river to Iowa, and look at the parking lot of the Adult Superstore (with Arcade and Theatre!) all of the cars are from Nebraska, so I don't know how effective their campaign is.
This is a testament (har) to the enduring power of Kirk Cameron's "Fireproof", urging Xtian men to forswear internet porn: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91VEAcViN…
Nothing wrong with porn but your argument is dumb. How does playing football necewssarily make one a "less credible" anti porn spokesman? And how does the Super Bown being "among the more backwards associations" (whatever that means) make less credible the anti-porn broadcast at the same time?
"the blatant push for all things sexual in our society"
its your beloved free market righties.
longing for repressive puritan authoritarian control?
sex is repressed by the white puritan culture in this country. part of the increase of sexuality in our culture is due to the integration of minority cultures, specifically african american culture. look at the history of rock n roll. listen to little richard. damn he was a dirty dude in his day. james brown, etc. african american culture has done a wonderful job at bringing the acceptance of open sexuality into america. and just like the prohibition of marijuana because minorities smoked it, these whities want to prohibit sex.
next: no dancing! comb your hair!
and i should add it is embarrassing for hasslebeck to be representing seattle in this way. let him play in the bible belt.
Canuck, hello! Porn innovators must not stop until we have truly hands-free surfing. I'm thinking of ocular navigation. Users can navigate to the next link with just an eyeroll, or zoom in with a stare.
If you don't like porn (or gay marriage or abortion, etc) then feel free not to do those things. But mind your own damn business & don't tell others what to do.
And waterproof keyboards, gus, no? In addition to the ocular navigation, maybe an option where, like choosing your GPS voice, all of the actors could sound like Colin Firth and Ralph Fiennes instead of their meathead selves...?
What's the big deal? This is a couple of Charlie Churches blabbing at their brethren who feel bad about whacking it and nothing more. This will be shown to churchies, at church, and not even on the Super Bowl broadcast.
13, on the contrary, Hassleback is a perfect representative for a state where we pay state workers to be on the lookout for gay porn in gay bars, don't let strippers and booze mingle, shut down "dry" strip clubs for being too close to schools, and insist on only selling certain classes of alcohol in state-run stores.
We're not quite as puritanical as Kansas, but we're much less heathanish as, say, Iowa.
I started hating on Hasselbeck when he bent over and kissed GWB's ass just after handing him a personalized Seahawks jersery. This ass bite doesn't represent Seattle or our values and it's time to run his ass out of town.
@16: Oh, I get the logic now. Brett Favre sexting makesBrett Favre a less credible anti-porn spokesman. Brett Favre plays football. Therefore playing football makes Matt Hasselbeck a a less credible anti-porn spokesman. Thanks for celaring that up.
Before tackling porn, this guy launched an anti masturbation campaign with the slogan "Every Time You Masturbate God Kills A Kitten." He has also written several books convincing people that they are sex addicts, and promising to save them. He has, if nothing else, a brilliant marketing mind. And I'm sure there's a bathroom stall somewhere waiting to expose a big scandal for him. http://t.co/Iyzqlrn
It's the tight pants ...

Google "brett favre sexting" and let me know.
I was going to say that people no longer have to struggle with porn, owing to lightweight Airbooks and high speed internet....

Good times.
There's some open-mindedness for you.
That's a dead giveaway. This is just a show for the fussy grandmas and is being presented with a giant wink for the rest of us.
The elephant in the pew - har har.
This would include sexual rights, which these people are also vehemently against.
