Well, folks and loyal readers, it happened again: A morality malfunction in the halftime show of the Super Bowl. Allegedly, one of the support singers, apparently a rapper named M.I.A., apparently flipped the bird to the audience. The parties are blaming each other:
“There was a failure in NBC’s delay system,” said Brian McCarty, the league’s vice president of communications. “The obscene gesture in the performance was completely inappropriate, very disappointing, and we apologize to our fans.”
“The NFL hired the talent and produced the halftime show,” NBC said. “Our system was late to obscure the inappropriate gesture and we apologize to our viewers.”
The parties should be blamed. Madonna was great although I prefer other kinds of music. (I thought Madonna was AWESOME in Evita, one of my favorite movies!) But, the best way to protect from things like this is to select clean-cut groups and singers for this type of show. One example would be the Zac Brown Band, or a troupe from American Idol. (I would go with Vince Gill and Amy Grant myself!) So, my advice to the NFL and NBC or whoever does the Super Bowl is this: Let Tim Tebow select the Super Bowl halftime show in the future…
Ditto on TEBOW!
