Super Bowl Halftime Show Has Become National Joke

OK, since everyone else has, I guess I’ll weigh in on the Super Boob incident.

Janet Jackson’s Super Bowl Boobage is such a clear example of pop stars and their creative handlers hitting the bottom of the barrel. Seems all original ideas are taken and all the limp-brained music world can do is top one ridiculous stunt with a ridiculously more ridiculous one.

It was planned for sure. No doubt. All the corporate denials are a joke. The whole thing is the culmination of the death of honest talent. What happened to the music? What happened to talent? What happened to actually singing a f’ing song rather that lazy lip synching? Everything is so over-produced that no one even knows what a real performance sounds like anymore.

It’s equally amusing to see everyone get suddenly all puritanical about this like no one has ever seen a boob before. OK, it was on national TV and kids could have seen it but I’m quite sure there are not many kids out there that don’t know what a boob is. There’s nothing wrong with nudity per se but the way Janet used it was a cheap attempt at out-“Britney-kissing” all the other pop stars rather than displaying some actual talent.

The half time show has become a national joke. And so have pop stars’ lame attempts at stardom.

Anyone hear of a team called the Patriots that won the Super Bowl yesterday?

The habit of stacking your own plates and wiping up your own mess before leaving a restaurant table costs nothing and asks nothing of anyone else, which is probably why it stands out so clearly to the people whose job is cleaning up after everyone who doesn’t.
