Bee-otched For: turning Super Bowl LII's halftime show into a giant douchefest

--

During the first many years of the Super Bowl, the halftime show was a royal suckfest.

Usually, it was loaded with marching bands, singers whose audience was mostly made up of the nursing home crowd and an annoying group of performers called "Up With People".

However, things changed in the 1990s when the NFL got more pop, rock and country performers because other networks were airing counter programming that was more entertaining. Hell, I remember the infamous Beavis and Butt-head episodes that MTV aired during the halftime show. However, the counter programming ended because, well, the halftime shows got better. Not perfect, however, unless you like Boyz II Men, Britney Spears, Gloria Estefan and Phil Collins.

But now, after years of decent halftime shows that are somewhat watchable, the NFL has decided to make it suck again.

That's right! The organization that is trying to make their players stand for the National Anthem is now making their fans kneel... to Justin Timberlake.

The former 'NSuck singer will be headlining the halftime show this February in Minneapolis, 14 years after the infamous halftime show where he yanked off Janet Jackson's bustier by mistake. Thanks to Timberfake, the FCC boosted indecency fines for broadcasters and Cheap Channel dumped the Stern show from all their stations.

And yet, the NFL's giving the douchebag another chance.

Look, Timberlake made a mistake for sure. But let's face it: his music sucks. I've always hated him and anything having to do with boy bands. The late 90s were a dark period for music because the labels wanted to overhype these dorky New Kids wannabes while bands with real talent started taking a backseat. Even worse, I was stuck living up in northern Michigan, where our beloved local rock station, WKLT was too busy catering to the local meth addicts. It wasn't until after I graduated high school and moved downstate when The Zone (now Rock 105/95-5) started growing a pair. Until then, I was stuck with country, oldies, classic rock and a shit ton of stations overplaying this shitty-assed music.

So yes, I hate Justin Timberlake. Hell, it makes me happy that when it comes to late night TV, it's either Colbert or Kimmel. Every time I see Timberfake with Jimmy Fallon, I get douche chills. When he does the Super Bowl Halftime Show this year, damn right it'll be on mute. I'll be listening to myself eat my weight in potato chips and French Onion dip instead. It just sounds better.

Now, if he does "Dick in the Box" with Andy Samberg, he might be able to redeem himself.
