Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Monday, February 06, 2012

The rapper M.I.A., who joined Madonna on stage in Lucas Oil Stadium for the song "Give Me All Your Luvin" during the Super Bowl halftime show, briefly raised her middle finger -- an act NBC tried unsuccessfully to censor during the broadcast. "We apologize for the inappropriate gesture that aired during halftime," NBC spokesman Christopher McCloskey said. "It was a spontaneous gesture that our delay system caught late."

Sums up pro football.

What I don't get is what her middle finger was intended to convey.

This is what is considered "entertainment".

No doubt he will be invited to the White House.

So what, Madonna rocked out a religious experience. The finger just highlights what she'd say to the poope.

Madonna ~ Halftime Super Bowl XLVI

"What I don't get is what her middle finger was intended to convey."

It conveys: Hey, tens of millions of people are watching me. But that ain't good enough because most of them have no idea who I am. This is a great opportunity for me to do something obnoxious and self serving that will get my name out there...

Sounds about right, Sully. Look at me, everybody - I know how to flip the bird on worldwide TV!

Although I've never been particularly interested in her music, Madonna looked pretty darn good for a 53-year-old mama, and the special effects were cool.

True. But finding a reason to appear angry during a bubblegum song like "Give Me All Your Luvin" had to be difficult.

Perhaps she was angry about that outfit.

I think it means, "fuck you."

Maybe she wants all your finger luvin'?

Typical. No class. So she acted stupid(ly). Maybe Obama will hold a beer summit, wait never mind. It's a race thing...........She will become Czar of Middle Fingers.

Next time, don't hire rappers. The NFL should refuse to pay.

I actually didn't hate the Madonna performance, which is amazing. This other group was just trashy. Know how they say you can't judge a book by its cover? Some books, yeah.

I think it means, "fuck you."

That's the first thing that came to my mind too.

There ain't no deep hidden meaning to it. Its just 'fuck you'.

The sad part is that it seems many of you actually watched Madonna.

I think she had just scratched her ass and was just getting ready to sniff.

"Next time, don't hire rappers. The NFL should refuse to pay."

Bwahaha!

This tool thinks the NFL pays for shit like this!

See, not unlike the tax payer funded, $500,000 flyovers the NFL gets you dip-shit "conservatives" to pay for; most acts that perform at the Super Bowl aren't paid, according to Forbes.

Yeah we watched Madonna what are you some type of gay homo that only likes to watch men fondle each others balls and jump on top of one another? Madonna>Man with his hands between another mans butt cheeks yells at the guy and he hands him a ball.

PS MIA has no boobs to flash.

WATCHED THE PUPPY BOWL

#15 | Posted by JOE

Good for you! Most of the grownups watched something else.

The bird is at 8:20 in the video-link in #4.

Ever notice how these "conservatives" seem to get really upset over the most benign issues while ignoring the elephant in the room?

The gesture wasn't even discernable until it was slowed down and magnified.

But $500,000 in taxpayer moneys blew promoting a private corporations event ... not even a whimper.

Thanks. I saw the blur but didn't know why. I still don't see why Madonna's bubblegum pop song about love angers MIA so much.

If the city paid for it, I'm sure the many 10s of thousands of fans more than made up for it. They would have spent a lot and I bet a lot more than 500k would have been brought in with sales taxes.

As for whimpering, you have that area covered quite well.

they strategically didn't censor it?

I thought Madonna was great!

It looked at one point she was almost going to fall.

She has a new album and movie coming out.

"If the city paid for it"

It didn't. You did.

There is a good reason they failed to censor it though, you couldn't see it unless you slowed it down and magnify. Only after the MSM pointed this out did the MSM haters jump all over it because apparently the people who hate the MSM the most, are also its most devoted and easily manipulated viewers.

But hey, it's always a good laugh to see the "get government out of our lives" dweebs reaching a new level of irrelevancy by complaining about how the government failed to shield their sensitive eyes to a barley discernable hand gesture while still ignoring the fact that the NFL gets a free pass to promote its event at tax payers expense.

Back-up bands do get paid for halftime shows.

"If the city paid for it"

I swear, some of you will make up the craziest shit just to run cover for your idolatry of an increasingly inconsistent ideology.

well what do you expect..

the guy is a 'rapper'.....

Madonna is a hit the wall cunt and MIA's talent? Well!!! is Missing In Action!

skank times two

Dont even know or care about this loser bitch!! Why is everyone commenting on her ugly ass. Didnt see it, care about it, or will remember it!!

Perhaps she was angry about that outfit.

Seriously WTF was that?

She looked like a superannuated cheerleader from Cleopatra High School.

Are back up singers supposed to dress ugly, like bridesmaids or something?

Is that how that works?

Be Well.

They're trying to create outrage where non should be. Who cares if she flipped the fucking bird. She AND Madonna shouldn't have been there in the first place. It was a trash performance in an environment that has no interest in pop music! The NFL failed with the Black Eyed Peas last year and they failed again this year.

The NFL is so fucking desperate in trying to make the Super Bowl a "family affair" that they will probably turn to the Disney Channel to plan out next years super bowl. Can anyone else see Selina Gomez running the half time show next year? I guarantee she will provide everything the NFL wants in a crap performance all the while providing ZERO risk in flipping the bird or flashing her tits.

Where's the news article?

You're not giving many details and I haven't seen the story. Otherwise, it just sounds like you're whining.

www.businessweek.com

The $720 million Lucas Oil Stadium, where the New York Giants meet the New England Patriots on Feb. 5, has prompted local officials to raise hotel, restaurant and rental car taxes, and make other payments on top of about $43 million in unexpected financing costs related to their sports and convention facilities.

My, what a controversy. (lol)

"The NFL is so fucking desperate in trying to make the Super Bowl a "family affair" that they will probably turn to the Disney Channel to plan out next years super bowl."

I understand what you mean but I think they'll always want someone who they hope will keep adults tuned in for the half hour. Its all about selling very expensive commercials during halftime. I was at Superbowl XXI and the halftime show was local high school marching teams. That's as wholesome and family and traditional as you can get for a football halftime show. They will never go back to that.

...all the while providing ZERO risk in flipping the bird or flashing her tits."

Naw...screw that...in keeping with the gladiatorial spirit of the spectacle, I say we have every costume character from every amusement park in the world, from Bugs Bunny to Mickey Phreakin' Mouse, give them baseball bats and turn 'em loose at halftime with a $1,000,000 prize to the last one standing. That way all you prune-pussed church ladies won't have to see a exposed woman's breast or be permanently scarred by a inappropriate hand gesture cranked off by some feral rapper representin', and can settle down with the kids and finally watch some old fashion barbarism like Jove intended.

I'm surprised there weren't trucks circling the front of the stands between quarters throwing loaves of bread to the mob. At least the game was close.

I thought MIA was on the terrorist watch list. She was, at least, when she was recording Kala a few years back.

This does not even surprise me.

they oughta put in the best high school bands and cheerleader for the year as the half-time show. fly some F-22s over the stadium for the patriotic bit, and call it a day.

Just another p.r. move! Btw I thought Madonna was skank

Madonna is 54 years old. For a 54 year she is not in bad shape. I certainly wouldn't kick her out of bed for eating crackers. I particularly enjoyed those black panties she flashed at us with the big white star over her crotch. Least I think those were her panties and not a star shaved into her pubes.

just so that we are clear...

exactly stizz!

it is ridiculous what we consider "indecent" these days

Was it better than The Who in 2010? Yes.
Was it better than Bruce in '09? Yes.
Was it better than Tom Petty in '08? Yes.
Was it better than The Rolling Stones in '06? Yes.
Was it better than Paul McCartney in '05? Yes.

I want to be entertained during the Super Bowl halftime. Watching Roger Daltrey struggle to sing within an octave of his original songs is not entertaining. Watching Paul grind a hole in the ground, mailing in Live and Let Die isn't very entertaining either.

I saw bits of the halftime show. Didn't hear anything after I muted the volume, about 10 seconds into the usual, lame Hollywood/Las Vegas style glitz. Too bad Madonna didn't fall on her ass. That would've made it interesting.

She is the only artist in history to be nominated for an Academy Award, Grammy Award, Brit Award, Mercury Prize and Alternative Turner Prize, and the first artist of Asian descent to be nominated for an Academy and Grammy Award in the same year. M.I.A. is named as one of the defining artists of the 2000s decade by Rolling Stone in its "Best of the Decade" list. Esquire magazine ranked M.I.A. on its list of the 75 most influential people of the 21st century and Time magazine named her one of the world's most influential people.

And I had never heard of this idiot until yesterday...

Well the idiots that booked her got what they deserve,you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

Rappers are trash. The "music" is trash. No surprise they act like trash.

Do you want me to attribute your disgusting generalization to willful ignorance or bigotry? Your choice.

And wonder why main stream America hates the rap shit? I want to know when the Super Bowl planners are going to hire someone other than the nut grabbers and tit flashers and finger givers!
What horseshit that is. We want someone like the Charlie Daniels band or ZZtop or some top country band...ANYone that is a real American instead of the weirdos they have had the last few years.
