I thought Cyndi Lauper did a nice job with the National Anthem, aside from Mendenhalling the lyrics a little bit. I think that girl just wants to have fun.
My editor just informed me that Cyndi Lauper did not sing the National Anthem. Instead, it was Christina Aguilera. Sorry for the mistake, I offer 2 photos to explain the confusion:
You can't tell which is which either, can you?
Now that I'm aware it was Christina Aguilera, I find the botching of the lyrics less shocking. I remember watching Mickey Mouse Club as a child and seeing her screw up the lyrics to my then favorite song, "Love Can Move Mountains". Ruined my whole afternoon. Here's the video for those of you who didn't have your mom set the VCR to record every episode of MMC:

Did you know there were 4 Black Eyed Peas? I always thought it was Fergie, Will.I.am and an autotune machine. Much to my surprise they also feature a token Asian and some androgynous creature with a mohawk...
Base on the reviews I read online, I might be one of the few people who was entertained by their performance. They tight roped in from the rafters, brought Slash up from under stage to play Sweet Child O' Mine, and then dropped in Usher. All the while, wearing costumes that registered somewhere between "stroke inducing" and "fire hazard". Were these reviewers expecting a reprise of last years performance by The Who? The most entertaining part of that nonsense was when the whole geriatric band got Bo-tox injections between songs.
Those of us hoping for Fergie to suffer a Janet Jacksonesque wardrobe malfunction were disappointed, but considering the fact that they had about 500 dancers in electrical suits perhaps it worked out for the best. One short in the wiring and we would've had a backup dancer shortage for a generation. About those costumes, I couldn't help but think that if you went back in time to 1960 and asked someone what the people of 2011 would be wearing, the answer would be pretty close to Will.I.am's attire.

The game? I'm pretending that Pittsburgh didn't miss that field goal in the 3rd quarter, got the ball back late down only three, drove down and tied it up with no time left, and won in overtime. If you remember the game slightly differently, that's your problem.

Further evidence, if any was needed, that the razor is funnier and more entertaining when you link other peoples work.
