So, it’s long been understood that Superbowl halftime shows suck. It’s a fact of life. My personal theory on the subject is that since the commercials are so good, the halftime show sucks to balance out the universe. You can’t have too much good in one sitting while watching TV.

Getting back to the topic at hand, I find the current Media trend of oversensationalism to be rather amusing at times, but generally, I think it’s just ridiculous. Take this AP Wire article for example. It was horrendous enough that the networks made us listen to Prince (much less Prince playing Foo Fighters!). The Media, perhaps were a bit more unhappy than the average Joe, have decided that Prince’s silhouette guitar solo was a bit to phallic for their tastes. Since when does the modern media call something too sexy? I suppose Janet’s little malfunction caused some tightening of the collective media sphincter, but come on, media! Sometimes a guitar is just a guitar.
