They took our household skin head away....

So black people are naturally cast as the help now?

Democrats really are the real racists.

Professional Lady Gaga

She was classy like Jimmy Fallon was after the election with the "we're here to entertain everyone" mindset.

Yeah that was actually a really good show. No stupid guest cameos, no lip syncing. Thumbs up.

Best commercial goes to Christopher Walken.

Lady Gaga really did have a great half-time show and I do really like that Christopher Walken commercial. I also like the tank commercial as well- kind of stupid but funny.

They should have just gone with Kali Muscle. After the divorce, with alimony and child support, he will need the additional sponsors.

Apparently the WAPO thinks Gaga's performance did make a political statement or two.

I'm not sure what to make of WAPOs claim. If she was trying to get in some subtle statements, they were lost on me at the time. She sang 2 songs that I have always thought of a patriotic, and she did it in front of a US flag (made of drones). Maybe it was a slightly hidden statement, and if it was I don't care. To me that was a nice way to open the show and (to me at least) was a statement that we are all in this country together.

Now I just found this, also from the WAPO:

Ultimately, the performance was a mix of feel-good throwback songs with a dose of patriotism. Starting on the roof with red, white and blue lights in the background, Lady Gaga sang a brief medley of “God Bless America” and “This Land is Your Land.” She ended with the final line of the pledge of allegiance: “One nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all” … before jumping off the ledge, suspended by wires, and flying gracefully to the stage on the field.

Apparently the statement (if there was one) was so veiled, even WAPO didn't initially notice it.

I'm happy to take it as a show of patriotism and "let's be one" rather than dig for obscure skeletons looking for another reason to take sides. The only sides in the Super Bowl should be (football) team you are rooting for.

Agreed. I'm surprised that they'd be digging so hard for controversy.. But that's just how our media rolls now, sadly.

Lady Gaga could have turned herself into an epic hero if she played this after the anthem:
