Madonna, the star of the above-and-beyond Super Bowl half time show this year, is now very angry at M.I.A. for ruining a segment of the performance by flipping off the cameras. Madonna claims it was an "irrelevant thing to do."
When Madonna called in to "On Air with Ryan Seacrest" she said, "I was really surprised. I didn’t know anything about it. I wasn’t happy about it."
Madonna told Ryan, "I understand it’s punk rock and everything, but to me there was such a feeling of love and good energy, and positivity, it seemed negative. It’s such a teenager ... irrelevant thing to do ... there was such a feeling of love and unity there. What was the point?"
I've only listened to one M.I.A. song ("Paper Planes") because it was in the trailer for "Pineapple Express," but I'm fairly certain that M.I.A. isn't a punk rocker. Just so you know, Madonna. I know you really want to be hip and with it.
And hey, I'd rather have M.I.A. flip me the bird than have Janet Jackson show me her ta-tas.
