This year, Super Bowl LIV took place in Miami. It was, therefore, appropriate for the halftime show to have a Latin beat, with Shakira and J-Lo as the headliners. Still, some people asked, "Did the show have to be so vulgar?"
On the pro side, Shakira and J-Lo are both superb entertainers, the songs they used were fun and energetic, the Latin beat rocked, and the backup performers were excellent. All in all, the show was a polished 14 minutes of top-flight Latin-infused pop music and dancing.
Any people who attended a stadium show just to see these two performers, both of whom sing and dance extremely well, would have felt they got their money's worth. Bravo!
But on the con side, the show was vulgar, and that's not just because, in keeping with all Latin dancing going back to the early 20th century, there was a lot of hip-shaking. Few people are going to get bent out of shape by that traditional Latin American dance dynamic.
While shaking hips are now old hat, there were still a lot of vulgar moves and costumes in the halftime show:
* Shakira implied bondage by wrapping a rope around herself.
* Bevies of athletic young women thrusting their pelvises at the TV cameras.
* Shakira writhed on the floor as a rapper bent over her body.
* Shakira ululated while flicking her tongue at the camera.
* J-Lo and her back-up dancers wore leather bondage outfits reminiscent of the leather gear fetish gay men wore in San Francisco's Folsom District in the 1970s and 1980s.
* J-Lo wagging her half-naked butt at the camera. J-Lo and her male backup dancers kept grabbing their own crotches.
* J-Lo did some pole-dancing in a minimalist costume that barely covered her lady parts,

The microphone she was holding looked like some kind of sex toy.
I was appalled by the blatent and glaring lack of diversity among the performers. Why aren’t liberals up in arms!
Yeb! loved it because it was half in Spanish.

Stripper poles, twerking....
Yet another thing Yeb, Slow-Joe and Hunter can agree on.
Hmmm... Must have missed it... When was the NFL Superbowl played? Did Kapernuts play QB for the Niners?
Dang! A porn show might have made watching the Superbowl worthwhile...
As soon as it started I said “where’s the pole and donkey?” The pole then appeared and I guess the donkey next year.
I've heard the same thing - that's why it's on my "must read" list.
Ben Franklin's autobiography was quite good, also - not a hard slog, but a delightful read.
I only heard about this part of the show when ABC News mentioned that they were showing images of kids in cages.
Obama can’t catch a break.
I highly doubt that the term 'tight ends' applies to either of those two.....
Besides lots of flesh, the show revealed that the US entertainment industry is cleavage and crack addicted.
