Controversy rises over Prince's phallic halftime projection

[ifilus]

Daily News television critic David Bianculli called it "a rude-looking shadow show" that "looked embarrassingly rude, crude and unfortunately placed."

Re: Controversy rises over Prince's halftime projection

I thought it made him look like the devil, with curvy tail and pitchfork.

Jesus Christ. If this is the only thing bothering these morons, they need to do all of us a favor and join the ****ing Amish.

Does he really think it looked like a ****? How many dicks out there are shaved to a point, with a giant 'S' curve looking thing protruding out the back end. On second thought, if you know of one, keep it to yourself.

See, and I don't think of phallic symbols when I think of Prince. To me, he's more like a eunuch who sings very sexy songs.

Let's talk about the real point...Prince put on a hell of a halftime show, he had these Beyonce-look alike twins dancing with him, and he looks great for a 48 year old man. I noticed those things a lot more than the fact he was sticking a guitar between his legs.

The only thing I kept thinking was: Damn, those are some surefooted dancers Prince has there to never slip with the wet stage and all.

If you find yourself bitching about a "phallic" symbol in Prince's halftime show, you've got a damn good life. Because you're obviously so starved for something to ***** about that you're searching hard.

And yet nobody has a problem with a commercial where a man throws a rock at another man's head from point-blank range over a beer.

Sex bad, violence good !

You know what Prince is saying about this right now?
"No matter what anyone is saying, they're talking about me."
That's the same thing Janet Jackson said three years ago.

If he's going to get crucified by the loonies, he should have at least performed Darling Nikki.

I only needed seven seconds watching him that night.

Nevermind Prince, wearing 4-inch Stiletto high heels while playing a very underrated guitar for 10 minutes in the rain.

People in serious need of constructive activity. That's about like kid games of looking at the clouds and seeing bunny rabbits. I guess if he was a parent and saw a Playboy Bunny symbol, he'd scream about that too.

Was he playing the guitar during all of those songs? I'm pretty sure he was for Purple Rain, but the others seemed to be piped in.

I'll give him the 4-inch heels, but he wasn't moving like those women.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the guitar shaped like the symbol that used to be his name?

Yep, that's the one.

I love the irony of how those most opposed to big, throbbing cocks are the ones who always see big, throbbing cocks even when there aren't any big, throbbing cocks to be seen.

Tipper Gore would have approved.

Halftime performances at the Super Bowl (with my first-place votes in parentheses... yes, I have given myself more than one first place vote):

1. U2, XXXVI, 2002 (53)
2. Prince, XLI, 2007 (46)
3. Michael Jackson, XXVII, 1993 (1)
T4. 38 piles of **** (0)

Sigh. Let's face it. Anything anybody does offends somebody.

I've always wondered why we're so quick to accept violence but not sex. F-ing Puritans. We'd have been better off if the friggin' Dutch hadn't sold New York (or if the Brits hadn't butted their noses into New Amsterdam to begin with).
