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,

RE: So, is it okay to ogle women and see them as sex objects again?
Look, don’t touch :)
I purposely scheduled a #2 restroom dump for half time. It was a wise use of time compared to watching the half time show.
Jennifer Lopez looks very good at 50, but she’s a lot closer to the traditional hispanic thick-hipped “Lita” than a young and curvy Mamacita.
Sort of like the movie Showgirls
Once again, this is all part of the toxic feminist movement. This constant need to exclaim self affirmation, as in, “I’m a girl and I can do anything!” is now becoming vulgar in itself as it finds its root in innate narcissistic selfishness. I am tired of these women attempting to exploit me (men) sexually through obscene provocative dress and movement, and then demand that anyone who looks at them in the manner they demand through this dress and action is guilty of assault.
Every commercial last night was from a female supremacy standpoint, and that is what I find truly vulgar.
I turned off the half-time show and read a few chapters of General Longstreet's memoirs - that was more entertaining that what was on the field.
I hope tons of you folks that watched the Super Bowl (Over 100,000,000 million people across the world remember the “Arnold” movie, “The Running Man”, because the Super Bowl ads, most of them & half time gig...were right out of the movie of Big Brother plays the people as slaves and servants to big government.”
Yep....give “em tons of sex as “The Running Man” did, and whacko ads that make ‘em drool and stay in line to do whatever we order them to do. Those peons that don’t fall into line get a quick release from life courtesy of Big Brother, Uncle Sam, The Democrap Party Socialist, Communist leadership!!!
Don’t get me wrong there were a good number of well done ads that were fine...funny, to the point, good messages, entertaining....but as you could see for yourselves Big Brother is knocking on the door!!! Beware Americans...you are being led slowly to your own “HITLER” slaughterhouse or Democrap Party slavery forever!!!
Wise Up...Americans...fight & vote to keep your freedom, your liberty, your equality, your opportunities , your futures...destroy the Democrap Party politically forever and support our great POTUS, Donald J. Trump!!!
Lol. They shove their half naked tw**s in your face and then demand they be respected. ROTFL.
Half time shows make me think of the last days of Rome.
They've moved on to transgender.
pretty much a porn show and most it looked like a giant orgy.
“I think it should be limited to rock-and-roll bands”
The last good concert was Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.
I don’t know why the producers of this stuff think everyone wants to see some tasteless gaudy overdone disco style act during a football game.
I find it very odd.
Being “vulgar” was the best description. But then again, we live in a vulgar society.
Agreed. Distasteful and inappropriate.
I hope the producers get a load of negative feedback. There should have been a warning to get kids out of the room before showing it.
* Shakira ululated while flicking her tongue at the camera.
I didn’t watch the entire thing, I listed to all of it and got glances of the performances, I saw that part and didn’t understand why she would do that. Just seemed odd for a super bowl show.
Interesting. I skipped the whole Super Bowl and listened to Ron Chernow on YouTube talking about his biography of General Grant (next book I want to read).
They’re just trying to sell their product a couple of levels down Maslow’s pyramid. I’m just concerned that I live amongst the fan base.
Well they did tell us that the Super Bowl was going to feature two all-pro tight ends...
