For all the pomp and excess of Madonna's Super Bowl halftime show, it is likely to be a single extended middle finger by guest singer M.I.A. that is most remembered.
The gesture, accompanied by a barely disguised expletive, came during a performance of Madonna's new single, "Give Me All Your Luvin." At the end of her lines, M.I.A. appeared to sing "I don't give a (expletive)," although it was hard to hear clearly.
The incident was reminiscent of Janet Jackson's infamous "wardrobe malfunction" eight years ago -- a surprise risque moment in front of tens of millions of unsuspecting viewers. The brief exposure of Jackson's nipple during the 2004 halftime show raised a storm of controversy and put CBS in hot water with the Federal Communications Commission.
The Super Bowl, shown on NBC this year, is routinely viewed by more than 100 million people, the biggest TV event of the year.
The screen briefly went blurred after M.I.A.'s gesture in what seemed like a late attempt to cut out the camera shot. The NFL, which produces the show, had no immediate comment.

It seems to me that they could just bring in a few chimps and turn them loose on the field during the halftime to entertain the fans. I don’t know why they need all this other crap. The chimps alone could get the job done.
Another one of Eric Holder’s people. My but aren’t they typical trash.
Whatever happened to the traditional Marching Band halftime show? Why do they think they’ve gotta have some Hollywood Slut/weirdo/fag display their ignorance? A sign of the times I suppose.
I’m confused about their “World Peace” message and this MIA antic. It’s pathetic. “Poor people”, it’s going to hurt.
LMAO at your comment!
I doubt you missed anything.
She said I don’t give a $hit....I heard it quite loud & clear
It’s easy to flip the finger when you’re a lip synching fraud
I thought I was the only Freeper thinking this while I was looking at the half time show. Oh yeah I get their message. It's amazing is it not?
LOL
At least McCartney and the stones truly performed songs they wrote instead of lip synching covers
Yes. It was absolutely the worst half-time show that I've ever seen twice.
Great Wrights think a like. With a full 31 minute half time, I took a shower. Seems like those who watched the halftime feel like they need a shower.
Twice?!! LoL!
I’m still mad at Janet Jackson.
Her nipple cost me 3 days in the hospital.
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it
Millionaire pigs and piglets.
Yes, amazing because it’s all deliberate and under our noses. The black illuminati is especially weird because as conservatives, we can’t understand why blacks don’t wake up and take charge of their lives but there is an evil intent, through the black illuminati, to keep blacks enslaved and distracted. If you all watch a few of the videos on Youtube, it all makes sense. Especially when you see the same no-talent entertainers making big money all of a sudden, entertainers “suddenly” having a drug problem or mental issues (Dave Chapelle) and other weird things associated with blacks and fame. Really sick stuff.
I think that they booked this cretin because they knew she wouldn’t behave. Her fans are the demographic that the NFL is looking for in order to sell lite beer (there is no such thing) and Go Daddy tarts.
