Prince waves three-foot penis at America

[JackRiddler]

From the Super Bowl half-time show:

/print

Isn't the message here a tad more obvious than Janet Jackson's breast?

[butterfly77]

1. Wasn't it just beautiful...

[NashVegas]

36. I Thought It Was a Hoot

...

[Cleita]

2. LOL!

:rofl:

[Bucky]

3. I dunno. I think it kinda looks like an elephant head.

Or is that curly thing supposed to be a devil's tail?

[Breeze54]

4. Not the first time that's been done! (lol)

Washington Monument remodeling

[orpupilofnature57]

5. Give the people what they want.

[Cabcere]

6. Best thread title ever.

As for the obviousness...well, *I* picked up on it, so that's saying something. ;) (Of course, I'm also a horny twentysomething, so there ya go.) Still...yeah, you'd think. But I guess maybe since there was no actual ZOMG TEH NUDITY!!1111!!, then it's okay. :shrug: Who knows, man? Who knows.

[The Count]

7. Love the title, where's the pic???

[PresidentObama]

Right click....

And get the link to the picture, it shows up there.

Pretty funny stuff. I always knew Prince was hiding something...

:rofl:

[JackRiddler]

(oops dupe)

[JackRiddler]

12. Actually...

The testicles are even more prodigious!

[The Count]

18. Is that what that was? Confused here...but laughing!

[Alamom]

9. ..

[JackRiddler]

11. Link corrected...

Yahoo news is coded so that you can't embed the picture here. I think the link now works.

[Breeze54]

21. You needed to

remove the /print ...at the end. ;)

/print

I right clicked the actual pic, at your link, and then removed anything after .JPG

[JackRiddler]

23. I don't think so...

try your two test links again. The one with /print after .jpg works, the other one gives an error page.

20. Here's Prince-- in silouette!

24. Wonder what Heather Wilson thought of THAT.

Heh, heh, heh.

[kestrel91316]

28. I saw that and was pretty shocked that they would give that a pass.

Very overtly phallic.

[liberal N proud]

8. And there was nothing the FCC could do about it.

When I saw that, I said to my wife, that is more obscene than a naked boob. At the same time I was thinking, there isn't anything the FCC can do for that move.

[BurtWorm]

10. I didn't realize Charles felt that way about this country.

Or that he had the equipment...

:patriot:

[damntexdem]

13. So that's who that guy was! I wasn't paying much attention.

The music was so mediocre.

[Plaid Adder]

14. I'm glad I'm not the only person who noticed that.

Our entire Super Bowl party erupted with screams of scandalized laughter at that moment. I can't believe he got away with it. Actually, I can. America sure does love the phallus.

This is why they call Prince His Royal Badness. It was the highlight of the Super Bowl for us, as we were all rooting for the Bears.

[Dudley_DUright]

16. I was totally oblivious

I guess I was more interested in his guitar licks than his phallics. ;-)

[Plaid Adder]

17. The guitar playing was in fact a notch above the usual SB halftime fare.

Also, I would add, "heh heh...you said 'licks.'"

15. Take that FCC!

[smoogatz]

19. That's not just a penis--it's a curly DEVIL penis.

The fundies can't figure out why they've all got hard-ons today.

[teriyaki jones]

22. I saw it and it was immediately obvious to me

And I'm a 53 year old woman. I also thought it was hysterical. Ain't it ironic that it's OK to show a giant thrusting penis to our poor impressionable children but not a boob.

[JackRiddler]

43. Well it's not okay

And I'm sure if the fundamentalists could go crazy over it they would. But a) it went over their heads and b) there's no rule for this... what would you prohibit? Shadows?

Drape malfunction?

[Dean Martin]

25. Probably not on purpose

Prince recently converted to Jehovah's Witnesses, and they have a very strict moral code on sexual stuff.

[JackRiddler]

26. That may be the case...

But this is Prince. Author of lines like, "Baby let's ball." And very meticulous as to detail.

[Dean Martin]

27. Yes, but he's not singing most of that old stuff any more

In fact, I found a concert dvd of him at a Vegas casino and he didn't do a single number from any of his early works, including Purple Rain. There isn't a single song on there that has any offensive lyrics in it. My girlfriend, a major Prince fan who keeps up with him, says he does not do any of his offensive lyrics stuff in concert anymore since becoming a JW.

Sunday night was the first performance in a long time where he sang anything from the Purple Rain days. I read a review on his opening night at his new 3121 club in Vegas, and he didn't do any of the old popular stuff.

[NashVegas]

38. HaHa! My Thoughts, Exactly

"He's still Prince."

I would like to think this was the Artist's challenge to America to stop being silly. He's not dirty anymore, you know :)

[liberal renegade]

31. his conversion won't last

he'll come to his senses...

[Dean Martin]

35. well we can hope!

[Generator]

29. Proxy penis by guitar syndrome

So Princely.

[lonestarnot]

30. Weenie wagg'n in the shadows. Tee hee!

[undeterred]

32. Prince is and always has been TRASH

you couldn't pay me to watch him

[NashVegas]

39. I Always Thought He Was Quite Brilliant

But that's just me, I guess.

[The Gunslinger]

33. It looks like the shadow of a guy playing a guitar.

[JackRiddler]

40. a guitar?

Technically, yes. It's actually a custom job with a very long shaft and an arrow at the end.

[Lint Head]

34. Purple Vein Purple Vein

Purple Vein Purple Vein

:spray:

[Cabcere]

37. OMG...

:spray: :rofl: You so owe me a new keyboard. :P

[Hailtothechimp]

41. And on top of that, he clearly was stroking it

The way he moved his hand along the neck of the guitar made it very clear what the intention was.

And I thought Prince's performance was brilliant. Could any song have been more fitting for the conditions than "Purple Rain"?

[WillyT]

42. Damn... Last Time I Did That, I Got Arrested !!!

:evilgrin:
