I just have to say that any parent who allowed their child to continue watching the opening ceremony once the first foul images were seen is culpable in the sexualization of their child. The TV should have been turned off immediately: a parent who sends the child out of the room and continues watching is just creating desire for the forbidden. People need to come to their senses.

Thanks for pointing out that adults continuing to watch is a decadent teaching as well! For the same reason, dislike the term "adult" used as a synonym for "pornographic." Harmful to teach and model to children that adulthood is the time when you can indulge in sleazy pastimes (pornography, drunkenness, promiscuity, irresponsible consumerism) and ignore safety practices--e.g. seatbelts and lifejackets for kids, but not adults.
