Apparently some singer flipped off the camera during Madonna's half-time show last night. And the world is in an uproar over it.

 

Apologies from NFL, NBC after M.I.A. flips bird

 

British hip-hop artist M.I.A.'s obscene gesture in the Super Bowl halftime show is prompting apologies from NBC and the NFL. But it isn't immediately registering as a moment that viewers latched on to.

 

...

 

"The obscene gesture in the performance was completely inappropriate, very disappointing and we apologize to our fans," said Brian McCarthy, spokesman for the NFL, which produced Madonna's halftime show. He said that M.I.A. had not done anything similar during rehearsals and the league had no reason to believe she would pull something like that during the actual show.

 

The risque moment came during the biggest TV event of the year. The screen briefly went blurred after M.I.A.'s gesture in what was a late attempt - by less than a second - to cut out the camera shot.

 

"The NFL hired the talent and produced the halftime show," NBC spokesman Christopher McCloskey said. "Our system was late to obscure the inappropriate gesture and we apologize to our viewers."

 

 

 

Couple of questions: Did you see this? If so, were you offended?

 

i didn't see it until they made a big deal about it.

Never saw it either.

New York 28 and New England 17

A touchdown off.

Sorry for going off topic but nice sig spooky tooth haha. Havent seen that one around here before.

Ontopic, its not a great class but we do have a bunch of walkons that hopfully will produce some starters.

Our walkons are usually hardworkers and some of them can usually make it happen.

we had a block party yesterday. everyone helping everyone else push snow... then standing around on the driveways drinking beer and single barrel jack... people driving by where like "wtf"....

Sounds like a good time lol.

Haha this is funny. I don't like them too. They sound tacky and its like a 3rd grader picked the names.

Can't wait until he completes the mission.

 

Not with SADler as coach.

It wasnt a bump

It was merely a fender bender.

Hey guys, I started a new twitter account. I could use some followers. This twitter account will have many "You know you're stupid when you" jokes every day. Follow me and share with your friends. Trust me, it'll be worth it.

Up here in Sioux City, IA we got NO SNOW.....put that in your pipe and smoke it

Lucky...for now. The storm is probably on the way.

My wife just checked roughly 10-15 minutes ago and said that its going to miss us and stay south. My in-laws live in Columbus, NE and every time we get snow they didn't but this time they got all of the snow and we didn't and we're the ones laughing lol.

That's where I live haha. We got drilled with about 6 inches and someplaces 8 inches.

We got it bad but I bet there are other places that broke a foot in nebraska.

I lost my Buick...cant find it anymore. Maybe its on the bottom of the mountian outside of my house.

Last post in this thread before:

 

Some places are gonna get hammered. Over a foot of snow in one day, plus its supposed to get worse on Saturday.

Looking forward to it.

Ill give you one lol.

Did this last night to a cop. Oops but its all good. They just started laughing their asses off.

Wow soccer is intense...in Europe.

Here we don't give a rat's ass about it.

The Lauren Cook thread is in Other Sports since we no longer have a dedicated Volleyball Forum. LINK

Why don't we have a volleyball forum? Just wondering.

Bo probally chewed out the person who crashed him before the cops came.

i could not be more embarrassed of this program. i mean 'tats are 'tutes are to be expected. but extra books!!! in america!!! to student-athletes!!! frankly, i am disgusted.

I agree. They are student-athletes. The student part is so why not help someone who maybe doesnt have enough money and is not on a scholarship or someone who is struggling?

I am in disbelief that the NCAA picks on the little things like this and take about 7 years for the bigger infractions like the Penn St. scandel.

Nice fight for it being his first time.

RIP Al Eveland. Cancer sucks and we really need a cure.

you just love spongebob for all the dirty jokes and inuendos

 

Just dont tell me that your favorite place to eat is the crusty crab in bikini bottoms.....

Maybe...but it does depend on how good the bikini bottoms are.

The off season would go faster if we had another Bubbageddon thread like last year

PEATAGEDDON

 

PEATAPOCALYPSE

 

Well the difference between Bubba and Peat was that Bubba went well past signing day and spring game all the way until summer and fall camp when he finally signed with the Royals.

Anybody know how Bubba is doing and if he's ready to throw in the baseball towel and come back to play football?

Is it legally possible for him quit and join Husker football?

I thought it wasn't because he signed that big contract with KC.

He was a kid who isn't afraid of adversity. Good luck Zac!
