Sadly, the general public don't take the Stones seriously these days. Aside from that, recent publicity stints don't help. See the "Salt Lake Incident" (Credit to Mr. Pug for coining the ever-so-classic phrase). |

It's a ESPN poll! BFD!! I could give two shits who watches the Stones during halftime. If the game is anything like the the games yesterday the Stones will be the most exciting aspect by leaps and bounds anyway. The most boring football I watched all year was yesterday even though the teams I wanted to win did,in fact,win. Boring!

it was one of our lowest points...only redeemed when it was released that we crushed U2 in gross ticket sales!!!!!
Many fear humiliation on the largest scale possible...this is probably their largest audience ever.....we all know what happens when tv is involved (see Whoopie Goldberg, Salt Lake Incident, etc) |

Exactly! I never watch the Super Bowl. I'm only interested in seeing the Stones. |

When, exactly, did the incident take place?
ESPN is for sports junkies. It seems as if most sports freaks aren't into the best music. For example that dumb song da da da HEY! chant. They won't watch the half-time because they are so affixed on the tv screen that when half time rolls around (pardon the pun) they will go piss and grab more chips and beer. It's not like they will turn the tv off during the show, they will just not pay much attention to the screen. I'm not dissing the sports fan... Afterall, I only wan't to watch the half-time show because of the Stones. Who cares about the rest and these filler polls? |

44% is probably higher than normal. Halftime is for taking a piss, getting more beer, kissing the wife so she doesn't get too pissed at being ignored, getting another bowl of chili, plate of wings and some pizza. Burp, back in time for the second half.
Since this one will be over by halftime, we can watch the Stones and a replay, then do the above tasks, watch the Stones replays a few more times and then watch Seattle's 4th and 5th turnovers to start the 4th quarter. |

I expose my breasts (as a big/tall man, this has lasting effect) annually at the super bowl since the late nineties. |

I will watch.
granted, I will be curled up in the fetus position in the corner of the room behind the couch, buried under a blanket and nervously peering out at the tv screen with one eye closed, clutching rosary beeds and praying that they dont perform RFD and, thus, permanantly embarrass themselves for life in front of millions.
but, nonetheless, I will be watching. |

Unfortunately I'll be working on SB Sunday so I won't be able to catch half-time. The ONLY thing that would have me watching the SB would be for half-time this year.
Who cares what a bunch of sport nuts are talking about? They're probaly more worried about their SB bets going wrong lol.

60% of polled ESPN viewers won't watch the Stones? Sounds about right for that crowd. Now, correlate that result with the percentage of their audience who voted for G.W. Bush and you'll see why some of us believe Stones fandom is incompatible with reactionary politics. |

Yeah, and there are all pansies.
All real men will be hucking suds, watching the Steelers paste the Seahawks, and gearing up some fine Stones action. Thats what real men do. Fuck the rest of those fuckers. |
