I wasn't just upset by the "Tempest in a C-Cup", I thought the whole halftime show was trash. It really detracted from a pretty good football game. I really liked the halftime show a couple of years ago with the tribute to 9/11.

I also wish they could get someone to sing the National Anthem that actually knew the tune. I think these folks that they're getting now are an insult.

I am outraged by what I saw during the halftime show of the Super Bowl," Mr. Powell said. "Like millions of Americans, my family and I gathered around the television for a celebration.

I would guess the NFL is going to take much more interest in the content of next years Super Bowl half time show as well as the commercials. Maybe the half time show next year will be hosted by Ed McMahon, with singing by Tony Bennett and choreography by the Radio City Rockettes. The ads by Budweiser and Pepsi will be strictly mom, apple pie, and the American flag. Considering my age that would be fine with me.

I'd give the Super Bowl another chance. That said, I don't understand the appeal of halftime shows and commercials. Vote for your favorite Super Bowl commercial? Why? Who cares?

Why is the halftime show such an event? Because we are told it is.

The game itself is becoming a footnote.
