Maybe if they were getting some they wouldn't see obscene in everything.

I find the arbiters of all things moral or immoral to be a real pain in the ass.

Oh, no, Prince DEFINITELY "stroked" his guitar during the giant shadow sequence. Definitely. He's Prince, that's what he does. Everyone we were watching it with saw it, we rewound it watched again. No doubt about it. (I'm trying to find the moment on YouTube).

ETA: Found it. It's at about 4:28 into this video that he strokes it. Then at about 4:39 he does a kinda suggestive thrust.

Exactly. If they want Mandy Moore, that's who they should hire. You hire Prince, you get Prince.

Hey GD, I agree with you, it is what Prince does. This is a performance, a show. My complaint is, whoever the arbiters of morality may be, they really need to get a life. Honestly, they complain about this on a half time show, what about the rest of the garbage on television the other 364 days a year?
Sheesh, it's tv guys, get over it (not you, just the morally constipated).

That's a fact.

Back in the day, Prince used to use the tip of his guitar neck (no idea what it's really called) to spray the audience with water when he stroked his guitar. That's Prince.

geez, Im not even a prince fan and I thought he kicked ass! sure...I thought the same with the shadow dance bit, but....geebus. people really need to get over at least some of their hangups. 99.9% of people on the planet are born with a part or two that distinguish them as male or female. you would think after a few million years of evolution, they would have adjusted to seeing them (or at least the imagery) on occasion.

who's runnin this f'd up planet anyway?

If people want to be sexually stunted that's their choice, but I like sex and all things sexual. It's one of the better parts of life. The "sex is bad" morality police really screw up something that should be normal, natural and fun.
