Fundamentally Transforming the Super Bowl

Yes, I watched the Super Bowl start to finish. I had no dog in the fight butt was rooting for the Broncos, against all odds, just because I’d like to see Peyton hang up his cleats before he breaks his neck again. So yay! I’m happy; apologies to all the Panther fans out there.

A few random observations on the annual pre-Mardi Gras American Bacchanalia:

• I did not see one - not one - commercial worthy of mention. What has happened to America’s creative class? Are all the copywriters members of the disaffected Millennial generation? Most of the spots were supposed to be funny butt fell short, some by an inch others by a mile IMO. Perhaps the 7 years of Obama has sucked every last speck of joy out of life. I don’t know, I’m just asking. And who paid for all those whiny public service announcements? Pretty expensive spots to remind us that we should save evergy, not waste water or drive drunk.
• The half-time show stunk; nothing new there, butt this year’s was particularily stinky. Coldplay, Bruno Mars and…Bey
• Behold Lady M’s concept of a great role model for girls, the ever skanky, always slutty Beyonce. This time she also threw in a political statement for good measure: Black Panther formation, Malcolm X tribute and BLM references. You just go girl.

• On an upbeat note: Lady Gaga delivered an outstanding version of our national anthem. And she was even clothed appropriately, considering we’re talking Lady Gaga. Ignore the red glitter eye shadow. Although with pipes like hers you would think she could just sing without turning herself into a human meat market. Then what do I know about show business?

NOTE: the NFL has apparently decided to block the patriotic part of their show for blogger use, so you’ll need to click YouTube to view.

I’m sure this is just a coincidence butt all 4 Super Bowl halftime performers are FOO (friends of Obama); Coldplay even featured BO singing Amazing Grace on one of their albums.

Bruno Mars (rumored to be gay butt I guess he hasn’t officially come out of the closet) performed with the Won’s at a Fourth of July party.

Kiss, kiss, just like I do with my gay boy

Beyonce has been to the White House almost as frequently as Al Sharpton:

And Lady Gaga performed  there (with Tony Bennett) at the 2013 inaugeral after-party.

I confess, I’ve not always been a Peyton Manning fan, although I don’t even remember why now. Butt I’m glad he and his team won. Sometimes, even if you don’t like the star of the team right upfront, they grow on you over time and one day you wake up and find yourself cheering for them. Maybe it’s because their toughness and tenancity just makes you believe that America can be great again.

Of course I could be wrong; I suppose Bernie and Beyonce could make America great again too.

You go girls!

Butt nah, I don’t really think so.

GaGa was so-so. Too much vocal gymnastics.

It's not supposed to be sung that way. It's a straightforward, manly anthem, and should be sung with a sense of anticipation in the first two verses, and strong resolve in the third and fourth. For public performances I would not suggest a woman sing it at all.

Speaking of commercials, did anyone notice the Xfinity commercial that went through the different movie/TV genres? When they got the to the romance part, something caught my eye. The two in the phone booth were women. Way to sneak in the agenda, and guarantee I’ll never buy the product.

[Sicon]

But there's nothing racist about Beyonce-skank being out on the field with 30 accompanying dancers, all of whom were black...

Got it.

[georgia peach]

I knew the pro-abort crowd would hate that commercial.And is it just me but did Peyton twice have to tell American kids that he was going to celebrate by drinking alot?

[Crusher138]

Coldplay has been coy about the meaning of the lyrics of Viva La Vida, but some interviews may lead you to believe that it is a song about Jesus.

[NOBO2012]

It’s an intentional misspelling used by MOTUS and her regulars as a constant reminder of MSM bias. Stems from the MSM ignoring FLOTUS’ big butt and dubbing her a fashion icon by photoshopping every image of her.

[frankenMonkey]

Yep. Caught it.

[MinuteGal]

The half-time entertainment was an ear-splitting orgiastic freak show, 'nuff said.

Lady Gag Gag started out by flattening her notes, then finally ending on key when she hit the high notes straight on, much to everyone's relief. She gets a "B" for bravado.

The National Anthem is pussified and wussified down now from the manly war song it used to be....but then, I'm from the old, out-of-touch, not-hep, ossified codger generation that still values music over blaring noise in entertainment....including patriotic songs that reflect the musical theme's history and intent, not the singer's vocal tricks and narcissism.

What's with all the butts?

Aha! That's what was missing yesterday ... the half-time Butt Bowl on MTV.

[OKSooner]

NFL halftime shows are like Jackie Chan movies; once you've seen one you've seen them all.

It's always the same contrived, over-staged lip-synch pseudo-music.

Whichever pop artist is having their 15 or 16 minutes of fame, synched to musicians pretending to play instruments while jumping up and down in the air, like the 100 or however many young violinists were on stage with Coldplay, jumping up and down in unison, at the same time as a few hundred young people comprising an "audience", also all jumping up and down, in unison...

I can recall some good musical acts playing the Super Bowl, live, like Tower of Power once upon a time, which makes about the last... decade or two, maybe longer, even all the more insulting.

Maybe they oughta try just a real choreographed dance show from Las Vegas at halftime without the pseudo-music.

Beyoncé particularly deserves the prize for just plain ol' vulgarity though. Look what she's cultivated and made of herself over the last, what, 15 years?

"What's with all the butts?"

I thought the montage of all the first 50 acts was nice, especially Whitney and Michael Jackson . . . then they blew it with the stupid “Believe in Love” crap.

THIS IS A GAME WHERE GROWN MEN BEAT EACH OTHERS’ BRAINS INTO BANANA PUDDING!

What has happened to America’s creative class?

It is very hard to be "creative" in the stifling PC atmosphere of today's culture.

Some retired NFL player is in deep doodoo because he used the word "boy" when referring to Cam Newton. I read his tweet and I knew he was referring to his immature behavior at the press conference. However, the "culture" decided he was using it as a racial insult. So, I guess the word "boy" is now off-limits even when speaking of a grown man throwing a temper tantrum. The retired player explained that he was using it to refer to his immature behavior, but, one can't let a chance for racial greivance to go unmet.

[LibertarianLiz]

So de facto it was great

I laughed at only two commercials; both, Doritos. Never liked them, don't eat them; but, the commercials were mildly entertaining. I was greatly disappointed in all the rest. Nothing special.

[LibertarianLiz]

The next NFL commissioner should go retro, ditch the halftime show and invite a marching band to play patriotic and traditional tunes.

I have often thought that they should invite the two top college marching bands in the country to perform in a sort-of play-off. Winner gets a national title. It would be more appropriate for the venue, and infinitely more entertaining.

[Hot Tabasco]

I got creeped out by that puppymonkeybaby thing. That's something that belonged in a horror flick about evil mutating monsters....

I just now watched it again on youtube and for the life of me, I still can't remember what they're trying to sell......

[donna]

I can’t make that application myself; but, I can see the crash of our country.

[sphinx]

and infinitely more entertaining

That's an understatement. The lavish halftime spectacles must be expensive, and I have yet to meet anyone who thinks they are worth the proverbial warm pail of spit.

[raybbr]

I heard about that. I didn’t see it. Not sure I want to.

[HLPhat]

Maybe next year the Owners of the Corporate-collective Hive can dig up Eva Von Braun's bones and have her auto-tuning bisexual clone sing the National Anthem for Der Super-Ubermensch Bowl I ?
