Has this what the worlds come too?? Scrutinizing hidden meanings of celebrities in their shadows, during performances?? What! When has the guitar not been a phallic symbol.
This is such bullshit.

Prince had the whole world watching. He could’ve done whatever he wanted. The people who are pissed off about his guitar shadow should take a listen to Darling Nikki, for old time’s sake.

He could’ve sung that.

Isn’t the guitar always a phallic symbol? And speaking of “Darling Nikki,” I thought it was cool that Prince showed some reciprocal love for the Foo Fighters (who’ve covered that song before).

at this point these people are just looking for a reason to cause controversy (no pun intended) — i’m sure 7 year olds across america were thinking “wow, that looks like a big cock” — give me a break — BEST HALFTIME SHOW EVER — PERIOD!

I am so sick of how the world acts and reacts. Its a joke. Maybe we should just have nothing at halftime. Would that make you happy?

I think Prince and the halftime show at Super Bowl 41 will go down as one of the best ever, right up their with McCartney. But then again, everyone was offended when Sir Paul sang Get Back and the line about Jojo being a man and all. If you dont like it, dont watch it! Or hire a pastor to talk or somethin’.

how many baby did britney squirt out in one year? she a ho or something, like slut. maybe prince is baby daddy, yes? oh my.

Well if parents think that the shadow was something that their poor little children should not have seen then those parents should attend one day in the public school and even most private schools where they send their children everyday and they would learn they see and hear alot worse at lunch and in the halls then what they see on TV and guess what you have control of the TV ya know the OFF button!! wake up and get a clue

What about all the grown men in tights forcefully tackling each other? That encourages violence towards gays, right? This whole “sports” thing is despicable.

F’ all of you!!! This is the pussification of this country! You are turning the country into a bunch of pussies. Can you possibly get any enjoyment out of life when all you do is look for the hidden penis in every TV show? That was one of the greatest performnaces ever and all these people can see is a supposed penis!! Get a life and stop sheltering your children unless you intend on paying for their therapy later in life.

People need to lighten up. the halftime show was great, and family friendly. People get upset over stupid things. I guess Prince’s performance isn’t appropriate for the family, yet seeing grown men tackle eachother is perfectly fine.

Yes, it looks phallic, however it looks more like a dildo. It has an anal tickler to it.

A lot of people don’t know about Prince being born again. Heck a lot of my misinformed friends had no idea that he changed his name back from the symbol or that he has released two CDs in the past few years. Sad.

but they were fine with his lyrics?

U see I called my old lady
4 a friendly word
She picked up the phone
Dropped it on the floor
(hah, hah) is all I heard

but a “shadow” was a problem?

This is a fake controversy, like the Kfed ad and the snickers ad, the publicity is bigger than the non-story

Wish Upon A Dogstar sounds pretty good… I like it so far… cant wait to hear the rest of the album

goddamn phil is right,just cuz the country is being runned by right winged two face stick up the asses,doesnt mean the country should be run that way either!!!
this is some ed sullivan shit!!

We’ve returned to the Victorian times when they covered the legs of pianos because the mere fact they were legs had sexual connotations. Don’t dare show that ankle in public!
Really, whoever thinks that shadow is phallic just needs to get laid. Then they can stop thinking that every guitar neck and two by four is a penis. This is all just plain stupid.

He got 2 wangs.

The so called phallic Prince image looks more like a santanic image if you ask me .(but whose asking me)

this is retarded, i dont get whats so bad about the image of a penis, if it was so offensive i dont know how we would reproduce

Princes halftime report was outstanding!! Im a soldier in Iraq and it is sad to see people trying to ruin what turned out to be a pretty decent game with an awesome half time show. Im sure Prince meant nothing by it, cuz look at his two female dancers. They were not dressed scantily, nor were they dressed provocativly. People just need to shut up!!!

I’m sorry to burst anyone’s bubble, but Prince’s performance wasn’t at all sexually charged. The kinda person who finds sex in everything is the person who needs to be looked at. It’s kinda like that guy who only sees boobs when he meets a girl. That’s what we call a pervert. So these freaks who are pointing fingers at Prince need to take a look at themselves. The next time they see a guitar they will need to repeat “It’s just a guitar. It’s not a penis” over and over and over until they stop seeing penises.

Uptight out-of-touch self-righteous puritanical bungwipes have been trying to take the fun out of rock & roll for ages – just ask Elvis. These “cultural critics” are unoriginal, hypocritical, no fun to hang out with, and just plain fugly.

ATTN SPOOKY

Are you living in a cave or something? Satanic? How did you arrive at such a primative conclusion. Your comment, an opinion yes, reminds me of the gieco caveman commercials. I guess you just discovered fire yesterday huh? GET A LIFE OR BETTER YET…..GETT OFF!

Nowhere else in the world could some people be so sheltered and plain old stupid

please note “some”

PRINCE IS KING OF MUSIC.. NO ONE CAN TOUCH HIM.. PEEP SOME BOOTLEGS.. MAN HE KILLED IT.. SUPER BOWL WILL NEVER BE THE SAME.. WHO CAN TOP THAT?

Just to be safe, we should probably only film Prince from the waist up from now on. We don’t want the viewers getting any more “ideas”. : )

Prince’s halftime show was the best show ever! But if people see penis’ in everything, then these people need to get some therapy, or laid!! One or the other!!!!

The new Perry Farrell song sounds beautiful. Can’t wait for the album.

They (Some of the MEDIA don’t have anything else to do. They trump up these stories for headlines. Of course most of them have not kept up with Prince over the last 10 years, so they wouldn’t know that he is a Jehovah’s Witness. Hell, we can’t get him to do anything raunchy at his shows, never-the-less the Super Bowl.

What about the images we see coming out of Iraq? Those images are “SATANIC”.

MEDIA BLITZ…U see what they want U to see.

I don’t see what the big deal is…this performance was extremely tame by Prince’s past standards (imagine if he had sung “Pussy Control” instead).

The idiotic bible-thumpers in this country won’t be happy until the Superbowl Halftime show is nothing but Julie Andrews singing “Do-Re-Mi” on a JumboTron.

I was watching the superbowl and all of a sudden there was this silhouette of Prince with this huge evil devil dick, and I got a stiffie and then seeing those two rednecks making out with chocolate smeared on their faces pushed me right over the edge, but what I really want to know is when is the NFL gonna pay to have these trousers cleaned?

Ridiculous. That image is in no way phallic or satanic. Why do people waste brainpower (or lack thereof) thinking about things like that? Dana is right, public school will expose children to much more than whatever that shadow might.

I hate to disagree with most everone, but I thought it was about the WORST halftime show I’d seen ever!! He looked RIDICULOUS!!Why get a singer that mostly 40 year old women like?

Sorry, he can really play the guitar though

My parents took us to see Frankie Lane when we were little. I have no idea why, but he kicked ass.
I think they should get John Simpson, John Frusciapepper, and that Butch dude to play at next year’s Super Bowl halftime Show. Cause they are so fucking great. They will “reinvent” the halftime show. Yeah.
Gary Glitter should have been made Head Of Urban Music at Island Records.

And why are people always putting down “Brit” for not spending enough time with her kids? Have you ever spent time with kids? Kids are ASSHOLES! No wonder people are always abusing the little monkeys. You think anybody ever became a rich Pop Star so they could stay home with their kids? Fuck that!
Hey, standing up for “Brit” is FUN! I’m going to do it all the time as soon as I learn how to spell her stupid fucking name.

It is interesting how we as americans can always find fault with any and everything, do we ever see anything as good or great. It would be something if we all could spend time in 3rd world countries to get an understanding of what is important and what’s not.

Spend time in 3rd world countries? Fuck that! Them countries is fucked up! They ain’t even got John Mayer records! Damn!

It’s a puppet show. Clap. His performance was terrific. There is no one like him. One of the greats.
People need to put there penis thoughts back in there pants.He was great.

it’s puppet show featuring spinal tap!

i wanted to watch the prince super bowl segment but my dad changed the channel!?…

A couple months ago I was flipping around the channels when I came across a concert w/ big band era vocalists. Frankie Laine was on, and at age 93 still had a little bit of a voice left. Not bad.

*giggle* his guitar looks dirty… hehehe

I watched that ten times last night and only the most perverse could come up with something that would be sexual about that “silhouette”. That was one of the most dominant, rocking SB halftime shows since U2 in 2002. He TORE UP that guitar and that stage…even the non-fans (including myself) at the party were blown away! its pathetic that people have to ruin it…

Sam Sam I am green eggs and ham, thats one heck of a wang-doodle on his silhouette.

Could it be true that Prince is actually Italian from the waist down??

The best part of the whole superbowl was Prince’s Telecaster sound. Pretty badd guitar solos too.

The people that are whining about Prince’s shadow are just embarased that they were aroused…

Sadly, when I was watching what was quite possibly the most amazing half-time show ever, I couldn’t help but think that some people were going to lose it over that “phallic” shadow instead of just marveling at Prince’s brilliance. It was a truly transcendent performance and all people can talk about is a shadow?! Please get a grip and recognize how lucky we have been to bear witness to the experience that is Prince! Sure, he has been controversial at times but he has always had the musical goods to transcend that controversy. Can anyone say that of such people as Britney Spears and Madonna?

the great prince has u all fooled and has the controverversiatist right where he wants it he is thinking this is hilarioos and it is funny all the way to the bank so that is what he wants are you all blind
