Where Are The Ham Hocks, Just Kidding

Twitter is buzzing with reaction to the Black-Eyed Peas' Super Bowl halftime show. The Grammy Award-winning group kicked off its futuristic show with their 2009 hit "I Got a Feeling." But technical problems marred the performance, which included separate cameos by former Guns N' Roses guitarist, Slash, and Usher. The show is also generating attention because frontman Will.i.am inserted politically tinged lyrics into the Black-Eyed Peas' 2003 hit "Where Is the Love?" He called out, "Obama, let's get these kids educated" and "create jobs so the country stay stimulated." A sentiment that was probably lost on most of the 100 million viewers whose eyes were drawn to the glowing dancers who ringed the stage throughout the performance.
