Whelp. Lesson learned, eh, parents? The time-honored tradition of letting the kids stay up late to watch the New Year’s ball drop in Times Square is now NSFF: Not safe for families.
Both ABC and NBC came under fire for airing inappropriate and excessive filth.
Thanks @CarsonDaly and @nbc for the family-friendly "girl-on-girl" (<–actual words uttered) during the ball drop. #sarcasm

NBC so busy promoting homosexuality and other filth they missed the Ball Drop… of course… Idiots. #RevokeNBCLicense

Makes my heart heavy @nbc – Wanted to let my boy see the ball drop and countdown with us and we get barraged with constant filth.

Sad that I had to change channel off NYE show on ABC because I can't trust Miley Cyrus and my kids are watching.

#abc, #NBC & others. I've seen more garbage in the last 15 min than all year. I'd like to remind you parents keep kids up for the ball drop.

For many who endured all the vulgarity and trash, the disappointment only grew worse:
Kids are crying after making it to midnight and then @nbc didn't show the ball drop. Let's hope 2014 improves from here on out.

What the heck?! Was the director of @nbc Carson Daly's New Years Drunk? Didn't even show ball drop. My daughter's disappointed.

Good pro-tip:
NYE Pro Tip: Show your kids last years ball drop on YouTube and put them to bed early!
