Awesome. I like M.I.A.

Can I has Coldplay next year please?

I will kill you for suggesting such utter garbage. That's worse than Madonna.

She is, ostensibly, a singer. Why else would you hire her if not to sing? That's like hiring Martha Stewart to be the 4th on your bowling team or Maya Angelou to paint a replica Mona Lisa.




I have not seen Slumdog Millionaire.

Won "Best Picture."

I can't read all the replies, sorry. Was there a reason for her doing this? Or is she just this way?

On the scale of "give a damn", the meter is sitting at a solid 1.

Dear PTC, shut up, and die, you bunch of social fossils.

Meter reset to zero.

Really don't expect what the NFL/NBC expected to happen when they hire these ass clowns to do the half time show.

I would bet that most people didn't know who the fuck MIA was before this mess and now almost everyone does.

100% pure publicity

I think NBC blocked it in my area. There was about second where the screen went fuzzy and I wasn't sure what it was. At any rate, I wasn't watching the halftime show too closely, so I may have missed it pretty easily.

Cheap publicity for MIA.

 

[zinfamous]

The ironic part is that she was, quite literally, MIA from my interests until now.

lolthis. never heard of her, didn't even see her last night. what is this all about?

 

[zinfamous]

It was still roughly 1,098,387,254 times better than the Guns 'n Peas show last year.

that was my thought, as well.
watching that show, i was surprised how "classy" it seemed compared to most of the other superbowl halftime shitfests

(excluding Prince and McCartney, of course).

Why is it that they are making such a huge deal of this, when there are much worse things on TV? Heck, every movie out there has swearing in it these days, some play on TV. There is even porn on TV. So why is a singer flipping the birdie considered such a huge outrage? I'm not saying it's right, I just find it funny they make a huge deal of it, when worse things are considered completely normal.

America flips out over a finger gesture but cheers on two teams of 200lbs+ men beating the shit out of each other for three hours straight. Which would you rather your kid imitate?

Same country that glorifies gutfights but freaks out over an exposed tit.

NBC was thinking she would attract viewers, she has 2 platinum+ album. After her stunt she now has a much larger group of people who know who she is. But any artist who has platinum albums and gets booked for the Superbowl Halftime show's already going to be well known.

The e46 m3 is the affordable doucehbag car of 2010, it's basically EXACTLY what the chevy cavalier z24 was back in the 90's.


You see, most douchebags make in the $50k range, which puts them right at the ability to get approved for a loan for their $28k 30k mile thrashed off-lease e46 m3. Of course they have to make suuuuch a huge deal about their insecurities I mean decisions about why they picked an 10 year old car over a new one... As I'm sure you can guess, it is never about the money since they could afford an $80k brand new m5 if they thought it was even a slightly better car... You see, they like the 'driving feel' and interior of outdated technology.



It's really too bad, as the e46 wasn't a terrible car 5 years ago. Of course nowadays it's slower than the pontiac gxp cars, and most of the camrys and accords out there but hey... It's a beemer right? What better to drive down a1a beachfront avenue while sticking your neck crowing out like an idiot.

lol

not really, when an artist trolls its more outrage about what a jackass they are. very few people are offended about the finger itself. its the attention whoring aspect of it.

You do realize our musical 'pop' talent are performers first and artists second usually.

There are tons of artists without record labels that would play most of the top 100 under the table.

She's a pretty active, controversial and awarded artist.

I would agree 'most' probably had no clue since 'most' simply have no clue in life.

I hope you're kidding. Any parent would rather their child be a built, muscular, successful, athlete than be a vulgar gesturing, explicit, thug/brat... ignoring vulgar gesturing thug/brat's success from being vulgar and explicit (she's not nearly as bad as most in the industry).

First that Arab music video, and now she flips off America. Someone needs to bomb the British over this.

you basically did the same thing whenever the only emotion you felt on 9/11 was happiness because you got the day off.
