Lemme just confess right off the bat, the three of us - Dr. Alice, major dad, and I - watched no halftime show whatsoever yesterday.
Remote control boss major dad switched the channel to Fox's Big Weekend Show as soon as the second quarter ended, and we all sat down to eat and reminisce about how much we missed the In Living Color halftime specials (We just rewatched the Men on Football segment again and holy crap - that was TV comedy they'll never be able to make again, guaranteed.).
I figured - correctly, it turns out - that I'd be just as entertained by reports and fights about the show afterward.
I just heard Sage Steele on Fox going 'What the heck was he saying? Who knew? And who cares if it's 'the language of fifty million people who live in the United States? Spanish is NOT the language of the United States,' as Martha McCallum added, 'The other three hundred million people who live here.'
That's certainly true.
And I guess Bad Bunny meant it half jokingly when he suggested everyone learn Spanish, because, from what I understand, if they had, there would be even more people pissed off about it right now.
Super Bowl fans 'sick' after translating Bad Bunny's X-rated lyrics https://t.co/alK4kNU4ea pic.twitter.com/PBuvTUKrHO

Remember when Baby, It's Cold Outside was too offensive and degenerate for playing on the air?
...The backlash erupted hours after the show, when conservative commentator Megan Basham posted screenshots of translated lyrics, which she described as 'the most obscene lyrics ever to be performed at a Super Bowl halftime.'
In his track, Safaera, Bad Bunny boast about explicit sexual acts, drug use and casual hookups, with repeated references to arousal and sex performed while intoxicated.
One widely shared translation paraphrases a line suggesting that a woman’s partner is inadequate if he does not perform a specific sexual act.
Other tracks of his, like Tití Me Preguntó, reference juggling multiple sexual partners and genital size.
'Why are you so worried about the translation instead of looking at the pret-tee production, you RACISTS' is not the flex they think it is.
...Progressive commentator Christopher Webb questioned why the religious right was fixated on lyric translations rather than the show's broader themes, which he said included marriage, family, small business and community.
His post was swiftly rebutted by conservative pundit Liz Wheeler, who challenged him to identify which lyrics actually celebrated those values.
Others accused critics of hypocrisy, pointing out that American rock and hip-hop artists with explicit English-language lyrics have long been featured at major events without sparking comparable outrage.
One viral post contrasted Bad Bunny with Kid Rock, who headlined Turning Point USA's MAGA-friendly halftime show on Sunday, claiming the latter had faced less backlash despite past controversial lyrics.
While some joked that they were 'wondering why there were no subtitles' during the show, others insisted the performance was 'fun, upbeat, & more patriotic than MAGA understands.'
Everyone knows white people have no rhythm. That's gotta be it.
Well, they also have online translators that they use, too. Ay Dios mio.
That's also definitely part of it.
Whatever one's impression of the show (or not), the Puerto Rican crossdresser has decided for some reason to scrub his Instagram accounts.
Seems an odd thing to do after such a big night.
Bad Bunny has inexplicably scrubbed all of his Instagram posts in the hours since his Super Bowl Halftime Show performance in California on Sunday evening.
Bad Bunny, real name Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, deleted his profile picture, the people he follows, and all his content on the Meta platform sometime after the game.
His reasons for doing so has not yet been revealed, but People magazine has speculated it could be related to a “big” announcement, or in response to backlash from the MAGA crowd — including President Donald Trump himself — over his performance.
It could well be just another attention-getting stunt.
What I didn't expect post- Super Bowl was the drubbing the Bad Bunny supporters are getting as they rush to defend all things Puerto Rican and find themselves bombarded by history and facts they've never encountered before in their progressive world of colonizers, race grievances, and white saviour ICE protests.
This part is the absolute hoot, as sad as it is.
It's also an indictment of both the progressive movement and the pathetic state of education in this country. There are boxes of rocks in any quarry in this country with more on the intellectual ball than these moo-rons, most of whom I will bet you are carrying tens of thousands - if not hundreds of thousands - in obviously worthless student loans for degrees they don't deserve.
Check out some of this - you will die - I guarantee it.
Here's one answer to a prog whose heart was moved to realizing a terrible truth about how the US treats Puerto Rico after watching Bad Bunny's 'documentary.'
The residents of Puerto Rico do not pay U.S. federal income tax on income earned from sources within Puerto Rico, as they are exempt under IRC §933. However, they still pay federal payroll taxes (Social Security, Medicare, and unemployment), custom duties, and federal income tax…

...He’s forcing America to confront an uncomfortable truth: Puerto Ricans are treated like second‑class citizens in a country that insists they’re fully American.
For the average, non-disaster year, Puerto Rico gets over $34.8B in handouts.
We are pretty lousy 'colonizers.'
Yes, the US colonized Puerto Rico so hard that we liberated it from the Spanish and immediately handed it over to a Puerto Rican-led civilian government.

You guys just throw around the word colonization without any idea what it means. https://t.co/Dvdzv59FEV
So lousy, we give them citizenship without income taxes, their own government, territorial protections, and they march as their own country in the Olympics.
Libs are tripping over themselves to remind everyone that ‘Bad Bunny’ is an American while Puerto Rico itself makes a point to field a separate Olympic team that competes against American athletes.

...Seems to be some cognitive dissonance on whether or not Puerto Rico is a distinct national identity.
But we're the bad guys.
Okay.
It's been fun watching the education being handed out, not that it does any good.
Besides - unlike the Bunny, I like to be in Ah-mer-ee-kah the best of all places on earth.
His loss.
Beege ADDS: I feel for y'all.
