| Desperate NFL Goes Full Caligula in Super Bowl Halftime Show |
| 2020-02-03 |
| [Breitbart] The Super Bowl LIV halftime show in Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium saw pop megastar Jennifer Lopez, 50, swinging and hanging from a supersized stripper pole, a compilation of crotch-grabbing, and singer Shakira co-headlining. Shakira hit the stage first performing her list of hits ‐ "She Wolf," "Empire," "Whenever, Wherever"‐ and even bust out a guitar, belted lyrics en español, and treated the 100 million worldwide viewers with a tongue wag in front of the camera. But this show’s star was Jennifer Lopez. The Grammy-winner ran through some of her biggest hits ‐ "Jenny From the Block," "Get Right" and "Waiting for Tonight," ‐ launched into a duet with her 11-year-old daughter, brandishing the American flag on one side and the flag of Puerto Rico on the other. And then there was J-Lo on the stripper pole, siding down, a la her (Oscars snubbed) turn as a stripper in the blockbuster hit Hustlers.

| #27 Scorcese appearing in a drink commercial after his denunciation of "theme park ride" movies was unintentionally hilarious. Forced penance for the Hollywood sinner. Corporate Father, forgive me, for I have sinned... |

| #26 I don't care much about the show. The game was excellent. |

| #25 I don't see the problem. The half-time show was full of cuties; Jenni-PURR Lopez and CAT-ira were adorable, and the only wardrobe malfunction I saw was when CAT-ira's wig fell off. Oh, wait - we're not talking about the Puppy Bowl? :-D |

| #24 #11 After watching the commercials thru the game, I came away with the conviction that the country is doomed. Thankfully, I never saw the one with the tranny in my sporadic viewing, but there seemed to be a lot of ads with celebs all hanging around together, like I'm supposed to give a shit. Scorcese appearing in a drink commercial after his denunciation of "theme park ride" movies was unintentionally hilarious. And the one with Yawn Legend-In-His-Own-Mind and his yapping chihuahua of a wife was just skin crawling levels of cringe. |

| #23 The little one actually has some musical talent but she's totally ordinary looking. The bigger one has big league T&A but zero musical talent. Neither one can sing or dance worth |

| #21 Raj, if you were getting a beer or vodka instead of watching that booty show, you did the right thing. I'm usually washing dishes at halftime, which is fine when real musical turds are onstage (Maroon 9 and Justin Timberlake, anybody?) but I watched this one at home because my buddy (who I've been watching the SB with for over twenty years) has a girlfriend who threw a ill-timed and fairly ugly tantrum during Christmas. I walked out and told him 'If I never see her or speak to her again, I'm fine with it'. So I caught a lot of this one. Katy Perry wasn't too bad, either, but I wasn't watching any of them for the choreography... |

| #18 Ti**y bar stuff. They've devolved from 'wardrobe malfunction' to ti**y bar pole dance. Eros and Himeros are pleased. |

| #15 If it had been actual Latin dancing that would have been nice. Instead there was spastic, ridiculous herky-jerking, some twerking and that stupid pole dance stunt. |

| #14 Whole lot of tushy shakin goin on. |

| #13 As the halftime shows slid down from "Oops my top came off" To the twerking and stripping I always said that all we need is a stripper pole and glass bottomed floor. Well, we are there, but kids in cages??? I bet Bill loved it and Epstein would be proud. The NFL should be proud to be a role model to our youth, young men can be gang bangers and their sisters strippers... Keep it classy. |

| #12 Mullah - yeah, looks like I missed more of the halftime show than I thought. That's what I get for buying a bottle of vodka for the game. Still, I'm not gonna get bent out of shape because Latin dancing is closer to softcore than most Americans are used to, at least on TV. |

| #9 Sorry Raj, but it was Shakira first on stage, playing the guitar (which she actually can do pretty well) and then later a drumset (where she's also fairly proficient). How do I know? Well, I've been kind of a fan of her's since the late '90's. |

| #7 Looks like I was wrong on the crotch grab thingy; prolly getting a beer when it happened. I still think this column is borderline ridiculous. Caligula? Really? Come on... |
| Posted by: Raj 2020-02-03 08:19 |
| #6 The guy who wrote this column did not watch the halftime show or is distorting it on purpose. There was no 'crotch grabbing' and it was J-Lo attempting to play the guitar, not Shakira. Furthermore it was J-Lo who went first, then Shakira. How do you miss that? Other than that, it's a completely accurate column! To me it was a typical Latin / South American (read - Brazilian or Argentinian) dance show where the chicks dance in slutty outfits and there were a few annoying guys with microphones running around like they're cool or something. |

| #5 She actually looks pretty good for her age. But she still can't sing, and the dancing was vile and vapid. |

| #2 It's Miami. No big deal re waving the P.R. flag there. That said, the show was really vulgar. The "music" was unlistenable and the "dancing" was spastic. The stripper pole was a low point. Too bad they couldn't have just done traditional salsa, etc numbers |

| #1 ..well, technically, Puerto Rico is an American Commonwealth and has been since the Treaty of Paris. They've fully embraced the corrupt politics of the Donks on the mainland. What could be more American than that? (do I need to put a /sarc on that?) |
