Is turning point online only? Be a shame if they got ddosd that day.

[–] SuiXi3D@fedia.io 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Even more of a shame for them to spend a whole bunch of money on a big production only to not make a cent off of it because nobody is going to watch.

They have a guaranteed audience from Moscow. Right wing media can't fail to find an audience.

They'd just spin it into their being so immensely popular, the site crashed. I like where your head's at though

Alternative halftime shows are just a way for broadcasters to clawback viewers and increase ad rates during a period where everyone’s eyes are on another channel.

This will be to Fox and local Sinclair affiliates what the Butt Bowl was to MTV, or the Puppy Bowl was to Discovery.

The Poopy Bowl

Let them in or let them out. I'm sick and tired of this halfway situation with Puerto Rico. Personally I'm down for letting them be a state, it's something Trump could do that has him remembered positively that no Democrat could manage. But we need to authorize them to choose statehood or nationhood.

I also feel that way about the pacific territories but that's more difficult as they're tiny and far apart with few people.

Eta: if made a state Puerto Rico would be the 33rd largest, between Iowa and Arkansas. DC would be the 3rd smallest if made a state having more people than Vermont or Wyoming.

Arguably Wyoming probably shouldn't have been a state and should've just been added to neighboring states, whereas Vermont was the first state to be added and fought in the revolutionary war as their own country, so their small population doesn't really count against them

But yeah, more united states citizens live in Puerto Rico than in both Dakotas and Hawaii combined (or Kansas if you feel those are too small), and it wouldn't be the first state to speak a non English language, looking at Louisiana and the entire Southwest

I don't think ol' leaky neck owns anything anymore.

[–] TheDemonBuer@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

I won't be watching either of them.

[–] carlossurf@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago

And like 0.00000001% of the audience will watch that instead of the bad bunny show lol

[–] caboose2006@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I miss the days of the kitten superbowl halftime show

[–] titanicx@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

They still have it. Puppy bowl.

[–] caboose2006@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

The only halftime show that matters

[–] heavy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago

Seems like making a mountain out of a molehill. Nobody is forced to watch the superbowl or the halftime show lol.

[–] DaMummy@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Why do they have a foreigner performing at the Superbowl halftime show? Why not get a real American artist like Immortal Technique?
