Happy the about the wardrobe malfunction - jackmehoff - 02-02-2009
I said the same thing yesterday about Janet's nipple slip. I am so glad it happened cause now there are great bands that play instead of hip-hop, pop BS.

I hope you're being sarcastic. My friends and I were talking about how crappy the halftime shows have been ever since that incident. I don't think any normal person under the age of 35 has enjoyed one since then.

Petty's music crosses generational lines but I doubt there are many people under 50 who find Springsteen interesting or relevant.

The people in the target demo do. That's all that matters.

Yea! As I was watching last night, at first I was like, hey he looks kinda familiar. I totally forgot about all those times he's been gone from Conan because he's touring with Bruce.

Before, they at least attempted to appeal to all age groups. Now, "Lets just entertain the old folks!"
note: Don Mischer Productions was the producer on all shows since the "incident."

They're focusing on the money demographic. The ones who are more likely to spend money on the advertisers. Welcome to the television business!

I'm petitioning for the Foo Fighters next year.
My luck it'll be Journey or Chicago....

You really think so? Go Daddy, Coke, Pepsi, Doritos, E-trade, Sobe, Hyundai, Budwiser, Miller high life, and Gatorade all seem like things the 18-35 age group would be spending the most money on. Not to mention most of the movies, with the exception of Monsters vs Aliens, and UP which parents will spend money on for kids to see. The target demographic doesn't seem like the 35+ age group at all.

Or, they can go back to targeting every age group, like they did before 2004

Yeah, the commercials were better pre 2004 too..

The demographics recently shifted, RM, and the networks are looking at things differently than they ever had before. They've never targeted EVERY age group. They used to see the 18-49 demo as their prime audience, but now they're looking to include older crowds. There are a million reasons for this, the least of which not being that people are living longer, and there's a larger than ever percentage of people in the older crowd.

I just meant the halftime show...
Happy the about the wardrobe malfunction - hotzester - 02-02-2009
And the halftime show, like everything on TV, is there to attract the viewers who are most likely to spend money on the advertisers.

I'd love to see the Foo Fighters play the halftime show. It'll never happen, though.

not a huge Springsteen fan, but Born to Run was pretty cool, though I agree with what the guys said about the rest of it being pretty corny

I just found out Max Weinberg was in the E Street Band last night during that show.

I'm about 21 and I like Springsteen. You don't have to be old to enjoy good music. The Timberlake type music they used to play was terrible, now we get real music like Prince.
Happy the about the wardrobe malfunction - Biff - 02-03-2009
Springsteen makes good music? Since when?

Speaking of, if you're into penises (I'm looking at you Eric Zane) the Comcast porn blooper is available on the net if you look for it. No girly bits so have at it homos.
