FOX Sports – Super Bowl – Controversy raised over Prince performance — Geez, get a life people. In the worst case scenario, this is actually funny.
In the sensitive post-wardrobe malfunction world, some are questioning whether a guitar was just a guitar during Prince’s Super Bowl halftime show.
Prince’s acclaimed performance included a guitar solo during the “Purple Rain” segment of his medley in which his shadow was projected onto a large, flowing beige sheet. As the 48-year-old rock star let rip, the silhouette cast by his figure and his guitar (shaped like the singer’s symbol) had phallic connotations for some.
A number of bloggers have decried “Malfunction!” — including Sam Anderson at New York magazine’s Daily Intelligencer. Daily News television critic David Bianculli called it “a rude-looking shadow show” that “looked embarrassingly rude, crude and unfortunately placed.”

i watched the performance and didn’t see it that way… i guess i’m clueless. Prince’s histrionics don’t do it for me, but the guy can play the guitar… i was just enjoying the music.
are you kidding me? it’s funny to me.
Little kids probably don’t get it. Then hears a thought don’t watch the half time show if you have little kids. especially if prince is going to be on. he’s notorious for doing this kind of thing. The goverment shoudn’t have to Regulate everything. some people need common since.
LOL…I am the proud owner of Prince’s very first album (which he references screwing his sister) and all subsequent music. I was expecting him to show up with his ‘ass out’ pants sooooo…I gather all the people who had never heard of him were offended…LOL!
