The second-half kickoff of the Super Bowl was delayed after a man dressed as a referee ran onto the field, stripped down to a G-string and shoes, then started dancing at the 30-yard line.

New England linebacker Matt Chatham leveled the man, identified as Mark Francis Roberts, as he ran from security personnel. The 39-year-old Roberts, who had the name of a gambling Web site scribbled across his chest, was hogtied and carried off the field by police.

I'm lifting this from another thread.

Freeper Hillary's Lovely Legs nailed it!

"He cut a hole in the middle of the flag and wore it like a poncho. How in the world is that not offensive?"

And as Freeper DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet pointed out:

"He clearly just cut up a flag to make himself a poncho. And then he whipped it off and handed it to one of the other guys who crumpled it up and tossed it on the drum stage."

Kid rock may "support" the war in Iraq, but he's still an ignorant a-hole with no talent. He sucked just as bad as the rest of the halftime "entertainment".

In addition to what I just said, he's also displaying our flag upside down.

THAT signifies distress. Kid "rock" sucks!

The entire halftime show sucked...

And then the winning New England people rioted, burned cars, killed one individual, and they WON. Thank goodness they didn't lose... Think what they'd have done in that scenario.

Nope, he is a opportunist streaker. Rugby matches, soccer ( football) matches , marathons , Tour De France , swimming events, tennis events, etc..... The list is long. This is the first time I think he has hit anything in the US though.

But one thing has bothered me about this deal. How in the world did he get on the field? Or even in the building. He came in with a valid ticket, but the nut was dressed as a ref !! You would think someone would have had a few questions for him coming in dressed like that. I would have thought security would have been very tight at a event like this. Yet this nut waltzed right in and got on the field.

Makes you kind of wonder if it wasn`t a set-up by the event coordinators. Food for thought.

Excellent point. Hopefully the authorities are asking a lot of questions today.

US Code Chapter 1 the Flag:

(d) The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery. It should never be festooned, drawn back, nor up, in folds, but always allowed to fall free. Bunting of blue, white, and red, always arranged with the blue above, the white in the middle, and the red below, should be used for covering a speaker's desk, draping the front of the platform, and for decoration in general.

Well you're going to have to go after quite a few people then. I can think back and remember seeing artists of all sorts wearing the flag in some form. Personally I would be more offended at those that ignore the document the flag is supposed to represent

There's a difference between wearing a representation of a flag, say, something with stars and stripes on it, and actually wearing A FLAG. That's what Kid Rock did. I noticed immediatly it even had the loops and gromets for attaching to the lanyard. That said, I think it was in poor taste, stupid and offensive to a great many people. But I don't suggest he be prosecuted or fined. I doubt he realized what he was doing, he probably thought he was expressing his patriotism. I just hope he doesn't do it again.

I see that no one responded to your request about posting pictures. Here's how:

<img src="http://website.com">

Just replace the text inside the quotation marks with the web address of the picture you'd like to post. (Leave the quotation marks in.)

Finding the web address for the picture in question is easy. To get the picture address, right click on it, click on "properties", and then copy the address.

When I type in this:

<img src="http://www.strangecosmos.com/images/picturejokes/14417.JPG">

You see this:

If you want to limit the size, do this:

Didn't Mike Curtis of the "Baltimore" Colts set this precedent?

I think he clotheslined a guy and knocked his teeth out.

Call it the Mike Curtis Solution. When a fan made the grave mistake of running onto the field during a game many years ago, Baltimore Colts linebacker Curtis delivered one of the vicious hits for which he was noted.

The fan crumpled and Curtis stood over him and said, "It's dangerous out here."
