500,000 less complaints


While this year’s Super Bowl halftime show did not draw as many complaints to the FCC as last year’s, a couple dozen people complained about this year’s broadcast, including two who were “bored” by Sir Paul’s set. The NY Times reports: Even Paul McCartney Offended Somebody: “The F.C.C. received at least 31 complaints about the Super Bowl, the commercials or the halftime show, including two questioning the decency of Sir Paul’s performance, within 24 hours of the broadcast.”
