The NFL and a major television network are apologizing for another Super Bowl halftime show.

There was no wardrobe malfunction, nothing like that glimpse of Janet Jackson's nipple eight years ago that caused an uproar and a government scrutiny. Instead, it was an extended middle finger from British singer M.I.A. during Sunday night's performance of Madonna's new single, "Give Me All Your Luvin.'"

In front of some 110 million viewers on NBC and uncounted others online, she flipped the bird and appeared to sing, "I don't give a (expletive)" at one point, though it was hard to hear her clearly.

If that is her best picture maybe she should stay away from people that beat her with ugly sticks.

That would explain her P.O.'d attitude.

She's so ugly, when she was born the doctor took one look and slapped her parents.

When her parents took her to the zoo the ticket taker said "Thanks for bringing it back."

Oh! Who cares? I watched and enjoyed the spectacle and didn’t even see it. I wonder how many did. I like the idea of hitting their contract for big bucks, but it’s hardly shocking to see anyone flip the bird. I don’t like it, but I’m also not shocked. It’s what we’ve come to expect from the mostly talentless herd referred to as ‘celebrities’ these days.
