(NOT trying to get into politics here but censorship is rearing its ugly head!) By Nikki McCann Ramirez & Maya Georgi, Rolling Stone | Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show continues to live rentfree in the minds of Republican lawmakers and conservative commentators. Plenty of right-wingers were outraged that the NFL tapped the Puerto Rican star for the show, and criticized the Spanish-language performance in real time. The GOP isn’t letting it go, and has since called for multiple investigations into those responsible, while making a hilarious show of translating and dissecting Bad Bunny lyrics in public
It started on Monday morning. Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) wrote a letter to the House Committee on Energy Commissions, calling for a formal inquiry into the NFL and NBCUniversal over their “prior knowledge, review, and approval of indecent content” from Apple Music’s halftime show.
“The Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show was pure smut, brazenly aired on national television for every American family to witness. Children were forced to endure explicit displays of gay sexual acts, women gyrating provocatively, and Bad Bunny shamelessly grabbing his crotch while dry-humping the air.” Ogles wrote. “The performance’s lyrics openly glorified sodomy and countless other unspeakable depravities.”
Ogles claimed in a post on X that the show “depicted gay pornography” (we couldn’t find any) and that the performance was “conclusive proof that Puerto Rico should never be a state.”

[Why am I continuing this debate? Because the censoring of music is happening AGAIN! Sounds like the ladies from the RIAA have been found and are stating their campaign against lyrics AGAIN! The next thing you know, the “ladies” will be fuming that Lady Gaga’s Die With a Smile (originally sung with Bruno Mars) is talking about committing suicide or murdering someone. It is not. It’s like having a catastrophic event happen that you can’t escape from so you want to die with someone you love who brings a smile to your face! Think the two entwined skeletons found in the ruins of Pompey.]
