NFL - Why not just cut to the chase and have a strip show for your half time interlude?

[pinto]

It would be simpler, more to the point and spare some performers a bit of time, however beneficial their reimbursement.

1. I've not watched a Super Bowl (or any) half time show....well, ever!

just not my thing, I guess....

[pinto]

3. The 49ers are getting buried...

Baltimore's got the game it seems at this point.

[babylonsister]

2. Huh? You were apparently offended. I wasn't.

She's an entertainer; what should she wear to a venue such as this? If I had it, I'd sure flaunt it, all of it!

[flamingdem]

4. Seriously, she's more like a sculpture in motion

than a sleazoid dancer. It seems to be more about physical power an agility than seduction.

[SalviaBlue]

11. Good description.

[Drale]

6. SHE SHOWED TO MUCH ANKLE DAMN IT!!!!

HOW DARE SHE BE A SEXUAL BEING!!! SEX IS EVIL!!!! RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE!!!!

[flamingdem]

12. She should have worn a hijab

or a burka!

5. Maybe it's because the porn sites' traffic drops a lot during games.

I wondered the same thing, Pinto, in a less overt manner.

I posted a related question, maybe less succinctly: what are cheerleaders not ok, but Beyonce and her cheerleaders OK?

I don't have an answer.

Maybe it's because the porn sites' traffic drops a lot during games.

7. Because a "tease" is sexier and more effective.

Seriously, do you not know anything about human sexuality? A "tease" allowing the imagination to go wild is much more effective than reality.

Oh, you were trying to make a statement. Carry on.

[pinto]

16. Good point. I get the tease thing. Burlesque is burlesque, and I like it.

Just found it odd in this venue.

And yeah, I have a clue about human sexuality. Most all of us do.

Don't appreciate your pointless personal snark though. This is where I'm supposed to reply in kind - Oh, you were trying to make a statement. Carry on.

8. It's Beyonce, she can wear anything she likes to.

If I were to try some of those high level dance moves in flats, I'd throw a hip and be in the hospital (and I'm her age). She had a baby and has the legs and agility to dance like that, and end the night singing a very tough, slow song, live.. Crazy good. And like ginger Rogers she did it in heels.

[RudynJack]

18. Exactly.

One of the better half-time shows. Whether one likes her or not, she's beautiful and can certainly sing and dance.

Great show. Only Prince was better, in my memory.

[obamanut2012]

10. Beyonce is not the least bit "sleazy"

Good God.

(And, neither are Kelly and Michelle.)

I though the Half Time Show was kickass. Better than last year, for sure!

[Warren Stupidity]

13. It ain't my type of music, but where the fuck have you been since um, uh, Madonna?

[pinto]

19. Madonna 2012 halftime performance -

[EastKYLiberal]

14. Now that I would watch. nt

[Initech]

15. Lewis Black had a pretty similar rant a couple of years back.

[RudynJack]

17. I thought she did great

and she showed some leg. Shall I grasp my pearls and faint?

Not a single thing was inappropriate about that show.

[Jennicut]

20. I didn't see anything wrong with her performance.

Ever been to a dance recital or broadway show?

I prefer rock to pop music but she is a good performer.
