Does M.I.A.'s flipping-the-bird-during-the-h alf-time-show-incident have a cool name like Nipplegate yet? Fingergate, maybe? Gross. Anyway, TMZ reports that if ... Read the full article at http://www.prefixmag.com/news/ mia-will-pay-fine-if-nbc-is-su ed-over-super-bowl-i/61519/

M.I.A. - Getty Madonna kept her part of her spectacular Super Bowl halftime show clean, but leave it to the always controversial M.I.A. to stir up some drama. During her verse on Madge's new single, "Give Me All You Luvin'," as she rapped "I don't give a sh*t," M.I.A. could be seen giving the camera the middle finger salute.

Our now greatest British export, M.I.A, last night "stuck it" to America during Madonna's apparently budget-free half-time show. Alongside Nicki Minaj, 152 million adorning American sports fans tuned in to witness the outrage, it's thought generating mass drunken fury across the country. Controversy travels quickly, with almost all national publications and blogs reporting the offense. The NFL were quick to issue an apology: "The obscene gesture in the performance was completely inappropriate, very disappointing, and we apologise to our fans." [...]

Filed under: News Christopher Polk/Getty Images The compulsively "controversial" singer known as M.I.A. is at it again. She traveled all the way Indianapolis to tick off network heads when, like an angry Cleopatra, she flipped the proverbial bird during her halftime show performance alongside Madonna and Nicki Minaj . The singer delivered the line, "I'ma say this once, yeah, I don't give a s---" and then let it fly to the 152 million viewers [...]

Madge played her halftime show at the Indianapolis home that Peyton Manning built for this year's Super Bowl. The hype machine that has been working around the clock (see collabos with M.I.A. and Minaj) in support of the new release from the Material Girl to be titled, "MDNA," reached it's pinnacle last night with a medley of treasured hits from the iconic superstar. But it looks like M.I.A. single-handedly highjacked the halftime show last night with her gratuitous crotch shot and lewd gesture to America by flipping "us" the bird. Aside from that slight hiccup and [...]

NBC and the NFL have issued an apology for the inappropriate gesture and language by M.I.A. during Madonna's set during the Super Bowl halftime show. In what should and shouldn't have been a surprise to some who know her unpredictability, M.I.A. flipped off the cameras while singing, "I don't give a [expletive]" during Madonna's new single, "Give Me All Your Luvin'" and on-stage with the "Vogue" singer and Nicki Minaj. An immediate press release was sent out by the NFL and NBC: "There was a failure in NBC's delay system," said Brian McCarty, the league's vice president [...]

Filed under: News Eamonn McCabe, Redferns NFL bosses have banned Gary Glitter songs from being playing at this Sunday's Super Bowl. The pedophile pop star created a stir when fans believed he stood to rake in thousands of dollars if his 1972 anthem 'Rock and Roll Part 2' was blasted at Indianapolis' Lucas Oil Stadium. It was also recently reported that Super Bowl contestants the New England Patriots use the song to [...]

In what appears to be the week of the M83 time-lapse, "Midnight City," was used to soundtrack a time-lapse at Century Link Field in Seattle and "Outro" graced the surreal Yosemite National Park time-lapse. The video couldn't have come at a better time with the Super Bowl looming around the corner. Thanks to Bodega Studios! It would be an event out of this world if M83 were to have a gathering at Yosemite Park under the millions of stars up above. However, we'll have to settle for a time-lapse of the majestic [...]

Ray Lewis delivers his post-game speech following the Ravens heartbreaking loss to the Pats last Sunday. This is the kind of thing Jesus watches to get inspired.

Maybe it's from having divorced parents, but over the years I've realized I have an innate ability to absorb the cruelest of disappointments with little more than a bemused shrug, which usually comes at the conclusion of the sports season for my beloved teams. For my baseball (Orioles) and basketball (Knicks) teams, that usually comes mercifully early; about a month or two into the season, either one of those teams are either burning off the last fumes of optimism carried over from the pre-season, or already stumbling around in a drunken haze hoping that they can crawl into a hole [...]

I nearly had a heart attack last night. My heart was beating right out of my chest. The San Francisco defense was relentless, the NY Giants offensive line could not stop the rush. Eli Manning was knocked down 6 times. The 49ers could not get a third down conversion. The Giants Defense won the game. This is the Superbowl rematch everyone wanted to see. The Giants are hot. They have momentum. This reminds me of 2007. The Patriots want revenge. But their defense is shaky. It has been all season. Defense wins championships. [...]

If you feel the absence of god in your life, it may just be because the big guy is a little busy these days - helping out Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow. Yes, he may be omnipotent, but he still has his priorities - whch many Americans seem to think, right now, is the NFL. 43% of Americans believe god is responsible for Tebow's success 54.2% of Republicans believe god is responsible 38.2% of Democrats believe god is responsible 81.3% of Hispancis [...]
