Is turning point online only? Be a shame if they got ddosd that day.
Even more of a shame for them to spend a whole bunch of money on a big production only to not make a cent off of it because nobody is going to watch.
They have a guaranteed audience from Moscow. Right wing media can’t fail to find an audience.
They’d just spin it into their being so immensely popular, the site crashed. I like where your head’s at though
Who’s Charlie Kirk
Some racist guy that got shot, idk they’re butt hurt about it
And an advocate for what killed him.
A gumball machine all outta gumballs and the toddlers are tantruming in the store because mommy can’t fit them all back in the clown wagon again.
Be happy you don’t know the name, be happy you haven’t seen the shameful behavior of people world wide when he got shot, and I’m not even talking about people being happy about his untimely passing
Charlie Kirk would be proud. He was a racist piece of shit.
He’d be proud his staff is taking a shot at this.
I miss the days of the kitten superbowl halftime show
They still have it. Puppy bowl.
The only halftime show that matters
That show is going to be the worst show ever
Star War Christmas Special look out!
I don’t think ol’ leaky neck owns anything anymore.
Maybe I missed something along the way but what in the ever loving fuck is up with this obsession over Lee Greenwood from the right? He is not a generational talent and has absolutely 0 appeal to a majority of people.
The RW is not exactly known for their great taste in…well, anything.
I’ve never heard of them.
what in the ever loving fuck is up with this obsession over Lee Greenwood from the right?
They have almost nobody else to choose from. The vast majority of artists lean left (or at minimum lean away from the rightwingnuts).
Bad Bunny is not All American? That is news to me.
This is why they’re so good at what they do and are winning. They never take a loss. They constantly flip these things to their advantage. The left just yell “Fuck off nazi scum” for the millionth time and then wait for tomorrows news to forget about the thing that pissed them off yesterday. Like fucking goldfish. When was the last time the left did something like this?
The left can’t even manage to sway the charts in any meaningful way. It’s not like people are sharing his music and giving him a bump. Cause why would we ever do that. Rally around someone. Just passively watch and comment hoping for some victory to just materialize on it’s own.
hahaha I just scrolled down after posting this and the second comment is “Just blatant, bald faced racism. Just non stop racism from these nazi loving racists.” never fucking change guys, never change.
“They never take a loss”
I’m gonna stop you right there.
you need to find another job, Israeli trolls on r/world_news do a better job than you can ever do.
Culturally, the left doesn’t press these issues. They happen. Everybody writes a lame comment that’s usually about 15 years old. They move on.
Charlie Kirk getting shot was at least a small moment where a few started creating content and others shared it. That energy is needed for those two articles you linked. Cause without it, nobody cares.
So where the fuck is that energy?
Instead you call me a shill. Like get real. How about looking at what I’m saying. The left are involved in a game they’re not even playing.
Protect your neck.
Protec*
Perfect example. Someone else responded with some story that nobody knows about. Their response was like “yea they take losses” but then shows me two storeys that barely anyone can remember. We don’t remember because we’re not keeping these things alive and fresh. Charlie Kirk was the last time we could muster a half ass attempt at what they do every single fucking day. Where the hell is that energy on the left.
He’s fucking American, I genuinely don’t even understand their issue with him is. I get that it’s just racism but how do they rationalise it without admitting its just racism? What are their talking points because it makes no sense
they are racist…
I totally get that but usually they have some talking point to avoid directly admitting that
They don’t do that anymore. Not since January 21st 2025.
They are going full blown Nazi.
They’ve been there since 2015
I literally don’t think that the raciats understandthat Bad Bunny is American.
I’m not even American and even I know Puerto Rico is an American territory 😭
Yes, but many Americans don’t know that. The name is Spanish. Hell, so many Americans don’t realize that New Mexico is a state in their own country.
And it wasn’t until the U.S. invaded Mexico and forced it to cede large swaths of its territory. Same with California, Arizona, Nevada, etc.
Puerto Rico didn’t exactly beg to be annexed, either.
I think a lot of this panic about Latin American people illegally taking over the United States stems from repressed colonial guilt.
Less guilt and more the expectation of revenge.
It’s more based on fear, since the US Latin population seem to be maintaining a healthy birth rate, while the white people seem to have either lost wood, can’t find the right hole, or have 'nads packed with PFAS. In some US states, whites are already a minority, and the various schemes to impose minority rule are unstable and require increasing effort as demographics keep on shifting.
This is just the mask-off, “We don’t care that he’s a US citizen…he’s not white”, kind of racism. They aren’t even pretending that there’s more to it at this point.
Oooooh that explains a lot thanks
He technically isn’t American. Puerto Rico is a colony. So I get their argument.
That being said Puerto Rico has been part of America for 200 years.

Ya my bad, even though they can’t vote or receive citizen befits.
They can if they move to a state and register there. It is kinda weird that they could then move to another country and vote as an ex-pat but not if they move back to PR.
That’s nice but also very naive…
My bad 😅
Not the end of the world - it’s just a few downvotes on Lemmy…
Maybe if comment clarifies your perspective or whatever, reply instead of editing?
Normally I’d put it under an “edit:” but I thought I was quick enough this time that I wouldn’t need to haha
I literally just edited another comment and thought about this exchange and how that would probably work too.
And like 0.00000001% of the audience will watch that instead of the bad bunny show lol
He’s an American citizen. Like … There’s not even a way to plausibly deny that this is solely because he is brownish and speaks Spanish.
Laugh in the face of anyone who praises it
Alternative halftime shows are just a way for broadcasters to clawback viewers and increase ad rates during a period where everyone’s eyes are on another channel.
This will be to Fox and local Sinclair affiliates what the Butt Bowl was to MTV, or the Puppy Bowl was to Discovery.
The Poopy Bowl
Pessimistic take: Given how much weird involvement presidents have always historically had with the Superbowl, I honestly just kind of assumed the Bad Bunny as “such a controversial pick” was intentionally meant to stir shit up for marketing purposes.
It provides the left with a feeling of control by knowing that people that buy into the outrage (see the recent cracker barrel controversy, that was mainly bot driven marketing) are triggered. Tons of people who don’t give a shit about football (or even Bad Bunny) will now make a point to at least watch the half time show for the chance to see the right wing outrage machine being owned on a national stage.
Everybody who buys into the “this is a disgrace and I am personally offended and outraged” machine, can tune into the TPUSA half time show, and feel their own little slice of control. There’s even a chance many of the sponsors of the TPUSA half time show will be part of a parent conglomerate that also owns the sponsors of the Superbowl halftime show.
Create a controversy and market to both sides of the controversy. Americans spend money to support “their side,” but it turns out that both sides are owned by the same people. Example, Dove might sponsor the Superbowl while Axe Body Spray will sponsor the TPUSA show. Unilever still makes money regardless.
I won’t be watching either of them.
