Christian Activist May Sue Over Super Bowl Halftime Show
Christian activist Dave Daubenmire is threatening to sue over the Super Bowl halftime show that featured Jennifer Lopez and Shakira.
Daubenmire, on his " Pass the Salt " podcast Monday, was outraged by the entertainers' performances.
"Was there any kind of obscenity or pornography warning?" he said "How can they bring that into millions and millions of homes and not warn people?
"I want to sue them. I want to sue them for about $867 trillion.
"I think we ought to sue. Would that halftime show, would that have been rated PG? Were there any warnings that your 12-year-old son — whose hormones are just starting to operate — was there any warning that what he was going to see might cause him to get sexually excited?"
And he added: "Could I go into a courtroom and say, 'Viewing what you put on that screen put me in danger of hellfire?' Could the court say, 'That doesn't apply here because the right to porn overrides your right to [not] watch it?' Yeah, well, you didn't tell me I was going to watch it! You just brought it into my living room."
I had on Jimmy Kimmel last night. One of the segments was a skit where someone was supposed to be demonstrating how the cardboard beds at the 2020 Olympics could be used for different sexual positions. For the most part it was fairly graphic.
Such a program would never been on tv 20 or 30 years ago, let alone 50 or 60. Probably not even 10 years ago, But times have changed. Not necessarily for the better, but they have changed.
The SuperBowl halftime show was relatively tame.
I didn't watch the super bowl or the half time show, but if this really offended this man this much couldn't he have turned it off or walked out of the room?
I guess his remote needed fresh batteries and his knees were too wobbly to get up and take a walk
Ding, ding, ding!
Another common sense logical winner !!!!
... more like his pants were around his ankles.
He's suing because they gave his little weiner a stiffie.
10 of his 12 pre-teen kids imitating the show's gyrations in front of the flat screen probably didn't help him out too much.

Anyone can do that or even here pass something by they don’t like instead of filing a complaint about it.
🤐
So why don't you give it a try?
I thought it was a good show!
I suffered a boot mark on my chin.
I didn't pay attention, but for those in my house that did, the vote was as follows:
Son: yea
Wife: nay
I kind of lost attention when the children were involved. What was that about?
Couldn't tell you. I tuned out when SF sat on the ball to end the half, and back in on the 2nd half kick-off.
sexual titillation for the religiously challenged.
Yet no comment of condemnation from the "Matthew 23" White Evangelical Christians about caging young children. But"children" involved in the show was titillating. I would say check your Christianity at the door when supporting tRump.
It was in the 60's here so went out and did yard work during halftime.
Haven't watched a SB halftime show in years. Don't do Vegas either.
How about for pedophiles......The next protected group!
Only if they are Democrats like Jeffery Epstein.
no doubt.
There are many things Trump supporters have to 'check at the door'.
Moore was a pedophile? Tell us exactly what he did. Be specific
Good deal. We got a lot done before the game, so I sat on my rump and did some reading. Owner's manual to a simple little device that I still can't believe would require an owner's manual.
I was having "impure" thoughts even earlier than 12. It's called human nature and development, and can't be denied by parental wishes.
Shakira, at 43, has a very fine ass, by the way.
Greg, are you saying that was a celebration of the female ass?
Yep, and adjacent parts also.
In that case it was another mission accomplished!
J. Lo was also looking quite fine. And she's what, 50?
Thank you.
Another "Matthew 23 " Christian who faints over the couch on a show he could have turned off but has no problem with caging children.
tRump today at a National Prayer Breakfast did not speak the words of Christ but spewed hate and venon. Senator Romney made his decision out of Faith and moral compass. tRump lacks both.
How did Trump enter into this?
The Evangelicals claims he is the New King David ushing in the Rapture. He claims he is religious but he only believes in his enrichment and his prophet is profit.
Oh, It's the Evangelicals? They have little choice of who to vote for.
Actually many Black Evangelicals do not support tRump. True Christians of faith do not. Prosperity Gospel Matthew 23 Christians do support him. Maybe if you read the History of Christianity you would know at the time of Christ the Jewish community in Israel faced a crisis in faith do to the occupation of the Romans and the installment of the Herrod dynasty by them. Christ's teachings are those of the poor not those of the rich.
Could you give us the numbers?
Consider the source.
Can you? For once argue the points which I have noticed you do not but just ask questions.
Because everything is about Trump. He makes it so and has done so since he slid down the escalator with wife number three. Forget the 'kneeling thing' already?
When somebody makes what I consider a generalization, I do like to see what it's based on.
Ya, he did win!
True evangelical and fundamentalist Christians reject the prosperity gospel as un Biblical
It was an approved sweeping generalization because of who it was aimed at
Trump sounded like he is planning to smite the heathens. Evil man.
Vengeance is mine sayeth the 'president'
"...a show he could have turned off but has no problem with caging children."
How are the two connected?
Context is lost on you. Let's see. You support caging children at the border but have a problem with children in a show on Christian principles. Either be consistent or be tRump supporter.
Does he belong to the NRA, too?

Apparently you do also because Obama started the practice and I don't remember you you crying about it, then.
Actually not accurate. He only housed UNACCOMPANIED children. tRump separated children from families. Nice try but the cigar has blown up in your face.
Unfortunately the cigar is on your face...You did not say anything about accompanied or unaccompanied. You just said, and I quote.."caging children at the border".
You can't refute it. Caging children was started by Obama.
You could have avoided the whole nauseating stink by sticking with the topic of pussy on TV and associating t with everybody who doesn't vote your way.
So, what did he do with the children that had family with them? Just let them loose??
"Was there any kind of obscenity or pornography warning?" he said "How can they bring that into millions and millions of homes and not warn people?"
Does this clown live under a rock? EVERYBODY with a functioning brain had an idea of what to expect both audibly and visually.
FFS you can see more "pronographic" material on prime time TV every night.
Well, Shakira was shaking her booty. She's quite good at it too.
Isn't that what she gets paid to do?
She's Lebanese and supposedly a quite accomplished belly dancer and musician.
The Latinas in my household loved it, clapping cheering and whistling their approval of the samba, belly dancing, latin flavor and sheer joy of it.
Take a cruise to South America or hit Aruba "out of season" and you will find every night club like this every night.
Not since Jimmy The Greek's 'naturally talented' blacks in football remark have I found a matching gem.
'Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll was born on February 2, 1977, in Barranquilla, Colombia. With a Lebanese father and Colombian mother, Shakira honors both her Latino and Arabic heritage in her music.'
false equivalency, and of course bullshit, except to some alternative experts.
Not a big fan of the half time shows in general. Something about them always seemed fake.
I dont like that style of music so I didnt watch. But, you're correct, it was shaking and she is quite good at it. (Hard to ignore that many highlights.)

Maybe it's all the Lip Syncing .....
That wouldn't surprise me. Been to hundreds of live shows and NON sound that clear.
You just made me snort soda...Thanks...

We've certainly seen worse at Super Bowl halftime shows.
Oddly, the teenagers in my house walked out on the show because of the outfits. The adults were fine. I can't explain why the kids are all such prudes.
"...the teenagers in my house walked out..."
There's some kind of rule about that - sorta like laughing at a dumb blonde joke in front of your wife. I've been burned a few times.
That's because the adults were present, lol. All part of the "act".
Ha ha! That could be!
When they get to be about thirty,
they start to open up and admit things you knew or suspected for decades, lol.
Yep that's about the time i figured my mom was "mature" enough to hear about some of the crazy things i did. Dad always suspected or knew.
Mothers on the other hand seem to be more ready to defend their little angels no matter what .....
Another idjit looking for his/her fifteen minutes of fame
"Christian activist Dave Daubenmire is threatening to sue over the Super Bowl halftime show that featured Jennifer Lopez and Shakira.

"Hip Shaking" Shakira was much better than "Crotch and Ass" Exhibitionist Jennifer.
Hey, it's the USA.
He is free to sue and he's also free to get his ass handed to him when he loses.
Pun intended ....
It sounds as if someone has a stick up their @ss and just wants to complain about nothing. Perhaps he's miserable and wants others to be too?
I agree. [Deleted]
Sounds like Devin Nunes in disguise. Geez, these people. If he thinks that was porn, then he has no understanding of the legal definition. So let him sue. The corporation attorneys are getting paid anyway, so not like it would be an added cost.
So the christian was offended by the halftime show? Yawn.
Nowadays watching a commercial could put you in ' danger of hellfire ' . Buy a vowel, get with the program.
Also, nobody is going to burn in Hell because they saw some women move their hips in a provocative manner.
Hopefully, some judge would throw this case out immediately if it is ever filed.
Jeez, TURN OFF YOUR TV OR CHANGE CHANNELS IF YOU ARE SO DAMN OFFENDED.
Cases like this clog the court system. Maybe have the ones filing frivolous suits pay all legal costs if they lose?
