Super Bowl fans whine over Kendrick Lamar's halftime show and 'DEI'
www.irishstar.com
X users are calling out Kendrick Lamar's halftime show performance for not having one white performer on stage with some saying it's the worst halftime show they've ever seen.

Lamar filled the stage with performers, but none of them seemed to be white. While most may not even have noticed, some particularly upset users took to X to express their frustration.

“There’s no diversity in the half time show. DEI only goes one direction and this horrible halftime show perfectly represents why DEI needs to die,” a user wrote.

    "Not a single commercial was memorable "

    The fact that commercials are seen as anything else than annoying is already strange to me. But reading that it really is seen as an entertaining part of the Super Bowl takes it to a whole other level.

      It’s been like that for decades. At one time people would watch FOR the commercials. Commercial companies used to bring their A-game, and debut unique ads that you’d talk about for years.

      This year felt mostly like just average commercials you could have seen during any commercial break.

      In the 80s, Energizer had ads that you thought were ads for other products. Then they’d switch it up, and surprise! It’s the energizer bunny.

      In the 90s, they had the budweiser frogs, the taco bell dog, and the wassup guys.

      Now though? Ugh. Nothing funny or memorable happened.

        Yeah. It’s supposed to be part of the fun. Corps will corp, and will advertise no matter what. Having an event that is effectively an advertisement competition was great. Supports artists enjoyable. Losing that is a big of a shame tbh

        More recently we had such gold mines as Dietz Nuts and the PopCorners x Breaking Bad crossover.
