What will they find to be outraged about in this year's Super Bowl?
Will they find something in the the Pre-Game or Half Time Show to be outraged about? Will something about the singing of the National Anthem give them their target? Will it be someone in the stands who blemishes the Super Bowl this time? Will their wrath be all about Bill Clinton? Will there be any kind of protest made by anyone at the Game? Will their big stink be made about one or more of the Commercials? How about the Players? Will they fight? Will they swear? Will the horror of some Player shaking their butt at the crowd be avoided? Will they seize on something one of the Announcers says, and blow that out of proportion? What will the Right-Wing Media Whores find to be outraged about in this year's Super Bowl?

2. I am guessing the Dennis Rodman in the bubble bath commercial
will draw their fire!

8. They might go on about how much they hated the Beatles for their message.
They might go on about Paul McCartney being a foreigner, if Britain wasn't part of the "Coalition of the Willing", for now.

22. Wouldn't that be great? At the very least I want him to flash a peace sign
Or wear a t-shirt saying "US SIGN THE LANDMINE TREATY"

His Mrs. is keen on that. ;)

Or....bring out Yoko! Yeah, that's IT! And they can sing "Give Peace A Chance" and dedicate to John.

None of that will happen so I'm not turning the TV on.

11. Very little, according to this:
"Gosh darn it! Super Bowl cleans up":

http://www.guardian.co.uk/international/story/0,,1406279,00.html

Good bit:
'As McCartney himself announced on his arrival in Florida: "I don't have a wardrobe to malfunction."'

12. Oh, they'll still find something, they've got to.
Gosh darn it! Super Bowl cleans up

Richard Luscombe in Florida
Saturday February 5, 2005
The Guardian

It was a racy show with an eye-popping finale that left viewers spluttering over their half-time popcorn. Now it appears that Janet Jackson's breast-baring antics, which shocked millions during America's biggest sporting jamboree a year ago, have had the unexpected effect of sanitising this year's Super Bowl.
Off the field tomorrow night's American Football showcase in Jacksonville, Florida, will be a pale imitation of its former self as a result of the outrage that greeted the singer's well-publicised "wardrobe malfunction" - and which led to furious debate in Washington over the country's moral direction.

Risque dance moves and naked flesh are out, and the half-time entertainment awaiting more than 800 million television viewers worldwide will be nothing more controversial or pulse-quickening than Paul McCartney tinkling a piano.

In addition, two of America's biggest companies have withdrawn multi-million dollar TV advertising considered too near the knuckle, and uneasy network executives have renamed the pre-game Best Damn Sports Show Period to The Best Darn Super Bowl Road Show Period to avoid causing offence.

15. Could a game between Eagles and Patriots be any more patriotic?
I suppose there is the Army vs. Navy game, but that's non Pro.

26. No streaking naked Grandma Bush yet.
This has got to be one of the most boring Super Bowls for things other than the Game ever. Watch ad revenues plummet even further next year.
