Superbowl halftime-sex and sucky sound standard.

I'm not a die hard fan by any means, but enjoy watching the game every year ( didn't even know who was playing until a few days ago).
What is with these crappy " performers" and burlesque shows?
Kids watch this for crying out loud.

Youre not being sex positive enough InfidelSerf!

Seriously this is the society that dresses their kids up for halloween as little pimps and hos. That should answer your question. Gotta push sex in everything, dont care about kids watching.

[Fly320s]

Gotta appeal to the target demographic.
Appearance is more important than ability.

Thou shalt be sex positive!

God is only half displeased.

That is why he only killed half the lights in the dome. 

[Jamisjockey]

Seriously, if that weak "burlesque show" offended you.....wow.  I'd barely consider that racy.

[Brad Johnson]

No wardrobe malfuntion? :(

Just a bit of a wattage malfunction.

I didn't think it was that bad, either.

I think all the stripper/singers plugged in their hair straighteners and shorted the circuit.
I'm so out of touch with entertainers that I'm ignorant of the fact that Beyonce is a living legend in the minds of many. The only comment my 17 hear old daughters had, was that the songs were "really old".

I hold any artist that thinks they rate going by a single name suspect. 

That said,  and not knowing the first thing about her,  she's definitely easy on the eyes.

Yeah! Like, Beethoven.

She is a looker...and accoring to Wiki, a descendant of Joseph Broussard...the original ragin Cajun.

Touche   

Limit it to the past century

And she has a last name that apparently the "popular" press chooses not to use because that lets us all be on a first-name basis with her.

Beetoven has a first name, but it uses up too much fund-raising time on the PBS classical music stations to say it.  U&nlike that Bach family, where you often can't keep them straight even when you use all three names.

By the way, who won the World Series tonight?  (TV has been unplugged for months, don't listen to "sports" radio, and have no idea how many innings in a home run.)  I do watch the commercials afterwards, when they are not cluttered up with men in gaudy-colored shirts and tight pants prancing about.

stay safe.

Budweiser has failed me.

Not a single Clydesdale or talking reptile. 

Fail.

You missed the Clydesdale commercial.

Only saw the lame Black Crown and Superstition ones.

To Youtube!

Liberace. Grandma liked him. Never did try to explain his . . . orientation . . . to her.

There are also some rather well-known Russians that are generally referred to by one name (Prokofiev, Shostakovich, Rachmaninoff, etc.) but they're better known as composers rather than performers.

[Bigjake]

Bono. The Edge (still only counts as one!).  Madonna.  Cher. Oprah. Ochocinco.

Call it a matter of taste.  I think the most pretentious ones are also the most annoying.

[Gewehr98]

No brass pole for the strippers on stage.  Bummer. 

[Perd Hapley]

The fact that you don't know a performers first or last name doesn't mean they "go by" one name.

Just off the top o' the head, Rachmaninoff's first name was Sergei. Beyonce Knowles' last name is, uh, can't remember.

Unless it's the school teachers on their own time and in a private location. Then the world freaking ends.

[freakazoid]

Since I'm floating around on the ocean, and also because I'm not much of a sports watcher, what did I miss?
Also, since when do people go around calling each other by their full name? Why is it weird that a singer is known by their first name?

If you're actually talking to a person, then using just the first or last name would be normal. When you're talking about someone that isn't in your immediate social circle, you won't just say "Johnny," because people won't know if you mean Johnny Depp or Johnny Cash. Even if they have an unusual front name, like "Beyonce," using just the first name implies a familiarity that you probably don't have with that person. Calling Beethoven by his family name does not.

Then we have people like Madonna, that purposefully choose a one-name nom de celebrity.
