Beyonce's performance at the SuperBowl not so "family friendly"

Some people watched the Super Bowl for the football while others watched for Beyonce. With Beyonce, the impressive light show, and the guest appearance to make Destiny's Child reuniting complete, most of the viewers were in awe over "Beysus". However, parents weren't too thrilled about the performance when their children were watching the supposed-to-be "family friendly" performance.

"I've had it with the half time sluts pumping their crotches, exposing their star studded boobs and selling sex rather than music. Go back to marching bands," Yahoo user Dreamtime commented.

"Well so much for the Super Bowl being a show the whole family can watch. I sent my kids into the next room to play during half time. It was like being in a sleazy strip joint on Bourbon Street. If that was what Beyonce was going for, then she succeeded," William Dorris, father of 2, said.

Even people on Twitter were questioning the appropriateness of the half time show.

Twitter user Quenton Lubeck says: 
"Is it just me or does anybody else think Beyoncé's sexist halftime show sucks?"

Although there were some viewers who were disappointed, there were plenty who defined her performance as 'fierce' and 'the best halftime show ever'.

"The 31-year-old diva’s halftime show, complete with brief Destiny’s Child reunion, probably shuts out Madonna, Prince and the Rolling Stones for most-anticipated intermission in recent memory," Caitlin Dewey, from Washington Post, said.

Personally, I think she nailed this performance and I'm not even a real fan. However, I can see where family sensitive viewers would see this as "too sexy" for their little ones.

Do you think her performance was appropriate for all ages?
