Prince: a videography
Following Prince's recent performance at the Super Bowl halftime show someone sent this complaint to the FCC:"It was obscene to show Prince, a HOMOSEXUAL person through a sheet, as to show his siluette [sic] while his guitar showed a very phalic [sic] symbol coming from his below-midriff section. I am very offended and I would preffer [sic] not to have showed it to my 4 children who love football. One of them has hoped to be a quarterback and now he will turn out gay. I am actually considering to check him for HIV. Thanks CBS for turning my son GAY."If the halftime show caused this much consternation, I can't help wondering how this concerned parent might have reacted to Prince's infamous 1991 MTV VMA performance in the yellow ass pants. Watch them both for yourself and let me know if you're suddenly feeling gay. Or, you know, gayer than usual.
