OUGHTN'T WE BE MORE WORRIED ABOUT....

Prince's halftime imagery questioned (Associated Press, February 7, 2007)

In the sensitive post-wardrobe malfunction world, some are questioning whether a guitar was just a guitar during Prince's Super Bowl halftime show.

Prince's acclaimed performance included a guitar solo during the "Purple Rain" segment of his medley in which his shadow was projected onto a large, flowing beige sheet. As the 48-year-old rock star let rip, the silhouette cast by his figure and his guitar (shaped like the singer's symbol) had phallic connotations for some.

..folks who look at Prince sporting an Aunt Jemima 'do rag and see a symbol of masculinity?

This non-story is pretty silly, but nowhere near as silly as the Snickers brouhaha.
