Jennifer Lopez and Shakira's Super Bowl Halftime Show drew over a thousand FCC complaints

Many viewers heartily enjoyed the spectacle, a sexy sprint through Jennifer Lopez’s and Shakira’s greatest hits. There was athletic dancing, there was a pointed message of support for Puerto Rico, and there was Latinx music performed in Spanish, which has never happened before in the Super Bowl’s history.
“Why are we showing pornstyle dancing during prime time?” reads one complaint, out of South Carolina. “This is family time. Our children are being bombarded with porn, as if it is normal.” Other halftime shows, of course, have sent sections of the audience into a sexual panic, and certainly, this raft of outrage does not even approach the maelstrom generated by Janet Jackson’s Justin Timberlake–induced nip slip in 2004.
“There needs to be limits imposed on the amount of buttocks revealed and shaken in front of the camera, and an end to the simulated sex acts of male/female grinding,” reads one complaint, from Kansas. “NOT FAMILY ORIENTED! ASS SHAKEN AND VULGAR COSTUMES NOT GOOD FOR YOUTH TO VIEW! How could you have stooped so low! No class!” reads another, from Texas, promising: “Last time I will watch!” The complaints go on basically that way, and we think you get the picture.
