I was surprised, and pleased, by the BEPs calling out Obama on jobs and education. Perhaps some Obama voters are realizing that Obama hasn’t delivered on jobs or education. It was good to see.

I wonder what the reaction was at the WH Super Bowl party. Was Obama thrilled that BEPs gave him a shout out or did he realize he was dissed.

I’m not a BEP fan but I may download a BEP song in honor of their dissing Obama.

All I could think of wen I saw these talentless musical hacks, including Fergie, is that young people must be masochistic to settle for such boring tripe. Bob

They were so bad...(fill in the blanks)

1. I called my dentist to do an emergency rootcanal- it would have been a relief!

2-My wife called the local 24/7 vet hospital, she swore there were a few sick cats outside the house from the sound.

Blackeyed Peas; overexposed, overhyped, and prostituted.

When talent alone can't stand on it's own two legs, all the production in the world can't save you if you're not in a studio.

Their agent and manager should be fired for just making them McBlackeyed Peas.

The only thing this 52 year old got out of that performance was the neon lights looked kind of cool on my brand new HD TV. But the music? Don’t expect me do add them to my CD collection anytime soon.

I had never heard Fergie sing before, but her voice is flat and pedestrian, which fits perfectly in this farcical group. Bob

Except for Usher’s all to brief appearance the show was bloody awful.

Maybe I'm out of it but I never even heard of this group before. To me they were ALL about futuristic techno-hype on the stage and very little about singing. Did Dean Martin really need to have flashing robo-people performing hi-tech stunts all around him? Okay, he did have to put up with Jerry Lewis antics in his early years but the only bit of techno that Dean Martin needed was a microphone. Same thing with a lot of other singers.

So the Black-Eyed Peas to me was all techno-hype and very little to do with talent. I can't even remember today the tunes they were singing last night.

The French company that designed their weird Olympic show must have planned the SB halftime entertainment. If they were trying to entertain Martians, I guess they succeeded.

As for the music, you couldn’t hear it at halftime, but unfortunately, we could hear that old bleach-blond bellowing her mangled version of our National Anthem with her big red mouth.

I truly hope no Texans were responsible for this fiasco. Happily, the game was great, so we may be able to forget the hapless “entertainers.”

Did Fergie Piss in her pants? She's such a pig. Actually I found the commercials last night very sexual and offensive for me (a women). Such things as degrading women by referring to their (rack) I though was inappropriate along with the porno Big Daddy commercials.

I always go out to the garage at SB halftime shows - fiddle around a bit, have a smoke, you know . . Who are the Black Eye Peas, again?

“I can’t even remember today the tunes they were singing last night.”

That was a big problem. Unlike the Who, they dont have a huge number of recognizable hits that appeal to alot of people. I only recognized one or two songs in their medley.

With all due respect, the commercials in a superbowl game are not really aimed at women. I didn’t find the the commercial that mentioned “rack” to be offensive (big surprise), especially since it was making fun of men, not women.

And Fox thinks that Super Bowl was all about BO and BO’R, since that’s about all they’ve had on this morning. Had to change channels to ESPN to get away from all that slobbering over the weak BO interview Fox aired before the game. Pathetic.

"...Usher rescued the half-time show (I guess it’s the dancing, not sure). ..."

Maybe it was his outfit that looked like he took a big dump in his pants.

Lowest. Crotch. Evah.

It’s a good thing the game was exciting, because nothing else about the superbowl was.

FWIW, the football announcers did take a moment to show the good SSG and identify him as the only living MOH recipient in recent history. (This was early in the 3rd quarter, IIRC)

Like Obama, the halftime show was an EPIC FAIL!!! I would have better spent my time washing the dishes.

Super Bowl halftime shows are the pits. There is absolutely nothing uplifting about them. Was there a theme to the halftime show beyond the Black Eyed Peas sucking up to Onada? I think not. There was no volume to the vocals—I will not call Rap music.

All it was was a bucket of visual and audio noise. Aguilera’s flubbing of the National Anthem is witness to the Super Bowl entertainment committee’s course subterranean standards. It was simply pandering to lowest common denominator.

Some of the ads were effective and funny. But none too subtle sexual innuendo was entirely inappropriate for a family show. I’m not a prude, but I was embarrassed as I watched the game with my 13-year-old granddaughter. And please, the shot to the male groin has been done already. It would be nice if the ad writers could be a bit more original.
