NBC & NFL apologize for M.I.A. flipping middle finger at Super Bowl
by Petar Kujundzic / News / February 6, 2012 / 5615 Views

M.I.A.'s controversial appearance on the Super Bowl's Halftime Show earlier tonight has already forced NBC and the NFL to issue statements about the incident. In what wasn’t planned by the network to show, it appeared the decision came directly from the artist and M.I.A. didn’t let anyone know gestures she might be planning. NBC said, "We apologize for the inappropriate gesture that aired during halftime. It was a spontaneous gesture that our delay system caught late." The NFL said, "There was a failure in NBC's delay system. The obscene gesture in the performance was completely inappropriate, very disappointing, and we apologize to our fans." Then NBC responded by saying, "The NFL hired the talent and produced the halftime show. Our system was late to obscure the inappropriate gesture and we apologize to our viewers." What do you think of this affair?

    Actually, the rest of the world thinks we're stupid because we're the best country in the world and everyone else wishes they were us. It's okay to admit your jealous.

    Madonna got the SuperBowl gig! Only reason M.I.A. was on it was because they have a song together.
