Facebook friends have been sniggering today at a letter to the editor published by the Duluth News-Tribune and written by a husband and wife who were appalled at the level of sexuality displayed in this summer's London Olympics. Dennis and Rosemarie Mitchell of Duluth wrote in the letter that there were Satanic overtones in the opening and closing ceremonies and that the outfits worn by the swimmers, volleyballers, gymnasts and others were too revealing:

The suggestions seem way over the top -- hence the popular sharing and jokes about the letter on social media today -- and in some cases just flat out wrong. Was Gabby Douglas really dressed any more provocatively than Nadia Comaneci in 1976? Doesn't look like it to me.

At the same time, I'll admit that my 11 and 9 year old kids were curious why bikinis were the "necessary" uniforms of our world's best beach volleyballers. (We actually had a pretty healthy discussion about sports and sexuality and marketing.) And there is no doubt that sex sells. So I'm curious: Parents, did any of you have reservations about your kids watching any of the Olympics due to potentially inappropriate content? Post your thoughts in the comments below.
