The Super Bowl Halftime Show

The Super Bowl with Shakira and Jennifer Lopez…

I deserve a good slap in the face and a poke in the eye after succumbing to the marketing hype and wasting almost two hours watching this tripe, before switching off.

The highlight was not the inexplicable game, where you can´t actually see the ball most of the time as dozens of players whizz around in their gaudy gladiator outfits, but the appearance of super-celebs, Shakira and Jennifer Lopez during the 13-minute interval.

They “sang” and “danced” – 50-year-old Jennifer looking particularly embarrassing in a leather outfit aloft a pole – in celebration of Latin “culture”. Just to drive the message home, a bunch of Latin kids sang “Born in the USA”. I hope The Donald got the message and will now open the gates to the floodgates of talent from South of the border.

These caring, sharing moms each received US$13 million for their act, i.e. US$1 million a minute. No wonder the cheapest seat at the stadium cost US$7,000.

  1. The missus just said ( in response to Flacky’s death) “i bet Harry styles and Olly Murs are devastated “. I just looked up and her and said ” and ?”.

      • LL hopefully they will die as a pair , i grew up watching those two on TV from the Byker Grove days as they are the same age as me , or there about’s . They used to make me laugh when they did the saturday morning programme SMTV live , then things changed . The pair of irritating over televised bastards are everywhere and every time i see them now on TV it eats me away like a fucking cancer . Torture ? , the old Greek brazen bull suit these two.

  2. Whenever anyone mentions Jennifer Lopez I just can’t stop thinking about that South Park episode.
    Or indeed that other South Park episode.
    Ben “bum chin” Affleck too… 😆😆😆

  3. I just watched it for about 10 seconds – utter shite. Zoomed forwards 3 minutes or so, there appeared to be someone in fancy dress having a fit which lasted less than a second. My watching it that is, not the fit. Perhaps there’s something wrong with me? I thought sport was something one did — and although I’m not a sports fan, every sport I’ve played has been “fun” in its own way — but sitting around watching other people play, anything, is well down on my priorities. There is however a radio station for blind people which I listen to (if I can find it) when driving. They read out newspapers translated into braille. Newspapers from around the world. It’s not bad (when driving) but in their coverage of the blind cricket event, sporting reportage scintillated! If they ever do gridiron-in-spandex I’ll listen to that.

    Otherwise I just wasted eleven seconds.

  4. On the topic of silly tarts singing shite: I have just seen the Reynolds Girls on a 1989 edition of Top of the Pops on BBC4… What a pair of talentless cunts they were… Pete Waterman should be in the Hague behind a sheet of bulletproof glass…. Crimes against music is putting it fucking mildly….
