If you were offended by Beyonce's performance last night... [View all]
...that was kind of the whole point.
YOU, whoever you are, were supposed to be offended so that others would enjoy it all the more. Beyonce was counting on it. After all, there's nothing particularly sexy about being inoffensive to absolutely everyone, and there's nothing particularly exciting about giving a performance so bland that absolutely no one says "Now hold on, Miss Beyonce Knowles! You've gone too far!" In other words, the fact that you're outraged means she did everything that was expected of her. She had a job to do, a persona to maintain, and she succeeded perfectly. And I say this as someone who's not a huge fan of her music.
But anyway, carry on with the naysaying. It's a thankless job in our culture, but someone has to fill the role.
