The gay and lesbian news outlet Xtra is predicting that the 2012 Superbowl halftime show will go down in history as the gayest Superbowl halftime show ever.
The NFL announced on Sunday that the shows feature performance by Madonna will be imagined by Cirque du Soleil under the direction of Jamie King. The show is the most-watched musical event of the year with more than 162 million U.S. viewers tuning in last year.
While the content of the show will be kept under close wraps till its game-day unveiling, and whether or not Xtra!‘s somewhat tongue-in-cheek predictions ultimately prove true, parents watching the show with their children should be forewarned about what the duo is capable of producing.
Madonnas music and stage presence is synonymous with sexual provocation. The 53 year old superstar has also mocked Christian signs and symbols including Christs crucifixion. Her music, lifestyle, and role-modelling is contrary to traditional family values.
Cirque du Soleil is famous for stunning acrobatics and for pushing the human bodys physical capacities to the extreme. But the circus also has a lesser known sexual side-act. Cirque du Soleils Zumanity is a seductive twist on reality which makes the provocative something playful, and the forbidden something electrifying. The pornographic production performed in New York and Las Vegas informs those who are 18 and over to leave all inhibitions at the door so as to enter into a sexy thrill ride full of sensational acrobatics and naughty fun.
Zumanity includes homosexual tangos, nude sadomasochist bondage routines, and a smorgasbord of sexual positions by the entire cast where they touch, stroke, moan and embrace until the tension builds to an orgasmic conclusion.
Welcome out of the closet, Superbowl halftime show, wrote Rob Salerno in Canadas Gay and Lesbian news outlet Xtra!.
During the 2004 Super Bowl halftime show, Justin Timberlake infamously ripped off part of Janet Jackson’s costume, exposing her right breast which was adorned with a nipple shield. The so called “wardrobe malfunction” took place during the closing lyrics of Rock Your Body, just at the moment of Timberlakes final words Im gonna have you naked by the end of this song.
The game will take place at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis on February 5th, 2012.
Children watch “Glee” also, but what does that prove?
A family event refers to content.
I guess they can stay in all day playing video games..but wait! Aren't many of those not "family friendly"?
“Its a family event if children are watching it, and they are.”
It is not a family event, but rather an event to encourage those between the ages of 18 and 49 to watch the commercials during the game and halftime show.
The commericials are designed to sell products to that 18-49 key demographic and not kids as kids do not earn money.
“Here’s who they need to have at the halftime performing:”
While the WVU Marching Band may be interesting to some, it does not add as much value to the NFL product as does Madonna.
Therefore, the network and the NFL can sell advertising at a much higher price with Madonna at halftime than they could with a marching band.
You see, it is a massive profit conspiracy between the NFL and the TV network.
Your family may not watch football, but millions and millions of families around the world do. This choice of Madonna and the Cirque de Soleil group is unacceptable.
This is really dumb. Even if she stays within the limits, asking Madonna to do a Superbowl show just doesn’t make sense. Her whole career has been based on blasphemous confrontations—beginning with her name.
It’s like NASCAR inviting Bam and Michelle to kick off a race. Good way to alienate their fans.
It would appear that the guys who are writing the $3,000,0000.00 checks for their 30 second ads to be aired during the Super Bowl do not believe that Madonna and the Cirque de Soleil are unacceptable.
However, if for a future Super Bowl, if you want to influence the content of the halftime show, you can write nine or ten three million dollar checks and the people at the NFL will listen to you. .
Shame the NFL can’t have a halftime show that doesn’t star trashy has beens.
ugh, I won’t be watching it.
Personally, I’m not going to be in the same room as a
football game. I have no TV, and we’re not a big football
family, and I don’t frequent bars, so it’s no big vow.
Half-time game or not.
Nope. I’m mocking grown men who act like morons in order to give the appearance of their being politically correct while beating each other’s brains out over a little ball.
Like it or not, that's what it has become. No, I wouldn't let my children watch this abominable display nowadays. The commercials are bad enough in themselves.
The fact that many, even conservatives, do not recognize this speaks to the deplorable depths to which we've sunk in our thinking.
BAHAHA!!! Now that was funny.
Thanks for my laugh of the day.
I thought that Tom Petty had a great half time show. No dancers, just a bunch of songs that you knew, could understand, and the sound was crystal clear.
I’ve never been much of a Tom Petty fan but I have to admit it was a pretty good show.
