Apparently 127MM watched the half time show, a little under 5MM watched TPUSA. Most Americans didn’t need a safe space. Nature is healing.
That doesn’t really say anything. For an alternative broadcast, that’s actually really good numbers. Compare it with any other broadcast or steaming at the same time.
I wasn’t really evaluating it from the standpoint of
mere preference, many more than 5MM would have preferred the alternative music. I was looking more at the number of Americans who were in such desperate need of a safe space from the big bad bunny that they went to the trouble of seeking it out. It was a refreshingly low number.@jon-nyc said in The stupidest controversy ever:

Easily the best part of all this is American Christian conservatives who typically clap on the freaking down beat enthusiastically promoting some faux rapper from Detroit who's been outspokenly in favour of sex with underage girls.

I’m sure we can all stipulate that everybody in the other tribe is a pedophile. But baw wit da baw and God Knows Why are still great.

I'm afraid I disapprove enormously of this sexualization of traditional Christian rap music. Who can forget Joseph of Arimathea's "Nothing but a J thang in ma' Garden, biatch!", and the uplifting rhythm's of Lil' Saul-Paul's "Straight Outta Tarsus"?

That last one is, after all these years, still one hell of a Saturday night toe tapper.
I think Mark Farner might have even done a cover of it back in the day.

I thought the set was great. All those sugar cane plants were worn by a person, that's how they got such a huge set out there so fast. Opera-like subtitles would have been useful, but maybe they didn't want us Gringos to know what he was saying.

I agree. For example, K-pop is big right now. If they would have had a K-Pop group singing (in Korean) and no subtitles, I think people would have complained.
