McCartney, Super Bowl Ads Target Of FCC Complaints

POSTED: 3:39 pm EST February 9, 2005

NEW YORK -- As clean as Paul McCartney's Super Bowl halftime show was, four people still found something to complain about to the Federal Communications Commission.


Mediaweek magazine says two people complained that McCartney's performance was too boring.

Another two found drug references in one of his songs.

Eight people complained about the GoDaddy.com spot with the busty brunette.

Pepsi was a target, too. One person didn't like Carson Kressley of "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" checking out a hunk in the cola drink's ad.

compared to what the SB has produced in recent years, McCartney was a major improvement-- maybe he should do it every year

It was actually scheduled to play again in the second half. However, the NFL made them pull the spot after the first one aired. Hence the lack of decent commercials in the second half. That was the first time a commercial has ever been pulled after airing. :roll:

Could be worse, they could be the NHL, then there would be NO commercials.
