In reply to the discussion: What you "young turds" are missing about halftime show [View all]Moostache
(9,895 posts)I watch the Super Bowl because I am a football fan and this despite only having witnessed 4 Super Bowls that had the participation of my favorite teams. I do not watch to see over-produced music videos and hate the fact that halftime - which in the regular season lasts a very heavily scripted 15 minutes - is nearly triple that for the Super Bowl. I would rather have them pack that time with all their bullshit advertising feces and just get back to the game.
Last night's ridiculous "show" and the ensuing power outage came dangerously close to influencing the outcome of a sporting event. San Francisco was on their ass and in real danger of getting blown out before the power outage saved them...minus the 45 minute halftime, that power outage would have been 30 minutes later and to anyone watching the game, that 30 minutes seemed very likely to be a knock-out blow to the Niners...
Beyonce and Prince and Madonna and all the rest are great perrformers, but we do not have an opera at halftime or a symphony or a Broadway production or a short movie...oh well, if nothing else Beyonce was not over the hill and completely washed up like most of the rest of the halftime shows of late...
