Real Tweets From Real People: Super Bowl Halftime

The Black Eyed Peas played the Super Bowl halftime.  It was terrible.  The following are real tweets from real people as the Peas "played."

Be sure to not thank your wardrobe designer.



Darren Rovell of CNBC: I assume Black Eyed Peas outfits will be auctioned off to Raiders fans?

Mike Tanier of Football Outsiders: For better or worse, they really are singing.

Andy Borowitz, political satirist: The Blackeyed Peas' autotuner needs an autotuner.

Joe Posnanski of SI.com: Hey, Oregon is playing football again! Oh, no, sorry, it's just the Black Eyed Peas show.

Sklar Brothers, twin brother comedians and sports fans: The Black Eyed Peas performance has a better plot than Tron.

Borowitz: The Blackeyed Peas' have erased the boundary between a musical act and karaoke.

Timothy Burke of the website 30fps: If aliens invaded right now they'd see what we were watching & leave, thinking another species beat them to the punch

Borowitz: Slash has arrived to remind us how much we'd rather be watching Guns N Roses right now.

Doug Farrar of Football Outsiders and Yahoo: Oh ... no. Fergie trying to imitate Axl. I may have to kill myself.

Keith Olbermann: What? They couldn't afford to get Slash an electric hat? A hat with "Lion Tamer" on it that lights up in big neon letters?

Borowitz: Slash made an appearance at halftime, meaning that Axl Rose will show up four hours after the game.

Tanier: Next, polamalu and a.j. hawk duet on Mr. Brownstone.

Keith Law, baseball writer for ESPN: My favorite way to listen to the Black Eyed Peas is with the sound off.

lionsinwinter: I'm not sure how to say this . . . they sing like they're used to a machine changing their voices to the right note

Sklar Bros: Somewhere Axel Rose and Brett Favre are watching this Superbowl and thinking about some of the choices they made.

Borowitz: The Blackeyed Peas set the bar high for totally unjustified enthusiasm.

Sklar Bros: Are we sure that's not just an Usher from the stadium section 125?

Borowitz: I can't help feeling that a performance by the Peas could be helpful in making Mubarak quit.

Burke: Slash backs away from Fergie, because even in his lifetime of trashy chicks she's a bridge too far

Posnanski: How cool, they're just letting an usher perform at the Super Bowl, I mean, oh, wait, sorry, a misunderstanding.

Randy Cross, CBS color cam: Whoever is in charge of this audio should be embarrassed, terrible + bush league

Brian Burke of Advanced NFL Stats: Steelers have a 15% chance of coming back to win. Black Eyed Peas have a 5% chance of not sucking.

Law: I'm starting to think the best thing about the World Series is that it has no halftime show.

Olbermann: Well, after seeing The Black Eyed Peas, the Steelers can feel a lot better about their performance before the 2nd Half

Borowitz: If Reagan were alive, he would say, "Mr. Goodell, tear down this halftime."

Dan Rubenstien, Sirius host: "Just make me look like Robocop's condom." --Will.I.Am

Borowitz: The Blackeyed Peas' next appearance should be in The Hague.

Terrible?  Yes.  Memorable? Absolutely.
