Madonna Miffed At MIA of the Day

Feb. 10, 2012

Madonna Miffed At MIA of the Day

Madonna Miffed At MIA of the Day: Madonna is finally opening up about the now-infamous MIA bird-flipping incident that took place during her Super Bowl halftime show.

Speaking on Ryan Seacrest’s radio show this morning, Her Madgesty said she didn’t even know about the digital malfunction until after the show.

“I found out about it in the elevator to get to the car and get to the airport,” she told the American Idol host. “I wasn’t happy about it. I know it’s kind of punk-rock and everything, but to me, there was such a feeling of love and good energy and positivity, and it just seemed negative.”

She later added that she thought it was “kind of a teenager irrelevant thing to do.”

After hanging up with Seacrest, Madonna phoned Carson Daly and spoke with him about the middle-finger fiasco as well, revealing that M.I.A. has since apologized.

It was reported earlier that, should the FCC fine NBC and the NFL for M.I.A.’s behavior, the singer would be required to pay for it out of pocket.

This Is Funny, You Should Watch It of the Day

Feb. 7, 2012

This Is Funny, You Should Watch It of the Day: Team Coco sent Billy Eichner of Billy On The Street fame to interview fans and football players at the Super Bowl.

Why? Because when it comes to hard-hitting questions there is only one man America can trust to ask Giants center David Baas if he saw Madonna’s halftime show.

This Is All Kinds Of Wrong of the Day

Feb. 7, 2012

This Is All Kinds Of Wrong of the Day

trong>This Is All Kinds Of Wrong of the Day: Even though the Super Bowl was officially the most watched TV program in US history, one person at Lucas Oil Stadium was completely invisible to viewers: Miss Deaf America Rachel Mazique.

Mazique, a representative of the National Association of the Deaf, was invited to sign both the national anthem and “America the Beautiful” as Kelly Clarkson, Miranda Lambert, and Blake Shelton belted the words.

Unfortunately, as Mazique was not placed near the singers during the performance, her signing was not shown on television nor, reportedly, on the stadium’s jumbotron.

The University of Texas Ph.D student, who has been an inspiration to many in the deaf community, says she was “very disappointed” at having missed an opportunity “to showcase ‘America the Beautiful’ and the national anthem in ASL on television.”

NAD has launched a petition through change.org demanding an apology from NBC and the NFL.

“I truly hope that this becomes a teachable moment for everyone involved,” Mazique said, “and that American Sign Language renditions of these iconic songs are broadcast in future Super Bowls rather than being a token gesture.”

Super Bowl Ad of the Day

Feb. 5, 2012

Super Bowl Ad of the Day: While Ford and GM duke it out on the sidelines, Chrysler looks poised to take home the championship ring yet again with its inspirational “Halftime in America” ad spot starring American institution Clint Eastwood.

The New York Times notes that the ad’s placement — halftime — will keep it off traditional post-game ad polls. I just hope it won’t be too embarrassing for the other ad agencies when they’re beat by a write-in candidate.
