All my girls (and guys) at the party, look at his/her body
I question the logic of theming this year's Super Bowl halftime show "The Hits of Three Years Ago, As Performed By Has-Beens." As far as I know*, the only one in the mess who has a song currently playing on the radio is Kid Rock, and rather than sing that one, he sang his Big Hits of 1998 or whatever they were.
The worst offender in this category was Michael "Janet" Jackson, who hasn't had a hit in years, but was for some reason the headlining performer. He has got to be the richest person in the world. He owns all of the Beatles' music and has two separate musical identities bringing in revenue. That way, even when his "Michael" persona takes a hit from child molestation charges, he can just slap on a wig and some makeup and for some reason, "Janet" will be invited to sing at the Grammies.
He sang one of his big hits from about 1991. Is it old enough to be considered a "classic" and that's why they unearthed it after all these years? I don't think so. Then Justin Timberlake came on to inform his idol/beloved that he was going to have him naked by the end of the song. Justin helped by ripping part of Michael's top off, and CBS quickly had to go to commercial before the seam of Michael's Lee Press-On Boob® was visible and his "secret" was out on national TV.
* Although I will admit that I am nowhere near as "cool" or "hip" or "up on what all the kids are listening today" as my mother. Today's music is nothing but noise to me. Turn it down, you damn kids! Come on over here so I can tell you about, uh, Soundgarden. Now there was a band who could-- HEY! Get back here!

Due to my extreme hatred of Soundgarden, I'm going to pretend that you didn't mention them. Of course, I pretty much hate the music of all of those who performed at the Halftime show as well. Which is why I chose that time to watch The Surreal Life. Quality family entertainment.

I hate the new stuff too, but man, is Janet a hottie! I mean I identify as straight, but I just might have to make an exception for her :] And Justin is "ok." I think this will start a new trend of breast-baring and I say that's a good thing - bring on the titties! We need to cast off this sexist fear of seeing what every woman sees every day.

THAT IS THE FUNNIEST BLOG OF THE DAY (that I've read here, at Sarah's website).
In totally unrelated news, here's an update on Active Solutions, the motorized carts I mentioned back in September. The latest ad? They're all square-dancing. In a big, white, empty room. All except the poor man who hasn't yet gotten his Active Solution chair.

Um... did I jump through a timewarp or something? It seems like when I was growing up that halftime shows involved marching bands with pompom people making neat moving shapes when viewed from the air. I thought those were way cooler than the crap they have now.
And, um... excuse me? Don't you think that the actual lyrics and choreography of the song were already indecent enough to NOT be aired in front of children?

Soundgarden rocks!

Hehe. Yes, my middle name is Overreaction. ;)
Nah, I'm only 24! But I distinctly remember watching marching bands. And pompom people.
Pompom people. Doesn't that sound like some cheesy 1950's horror film, that would be on MST3K? "Attack of the Pompom People!" The sequel could be "Return of the Pompom People!" and then a straight-to-video third film: "Son of Pompom People!"

Lee Press On Boob. LOL!
I can't believe "Rhythm Nation" is 13 years old. I feel really old.
