Sir Paul McCartney has been chosen to provide the half-time entertainment at this year's Super Bowl game - the slot filled by Janet Jackson last year. Organisers have promised there will be no repeat of her nipple-baring incident that sparked thousands of complaints on US TV's most-watched broadcast reports BBC online. A National Football League spokesman said they were "comfortable" this show would be acceptable to a mass audience. TV network CBS was fined £300,000 by watchdogs after more than 542,000 complaints were made about Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction". The NFL's spokesman Brian McCarthy said they knew they would be under a great deal of scrutiny this year. "We've looked at all facets of the show including talent selection, song selection and costume selection, to ensure we wouldn't have a repeat of what happened last year," he said. In a statement about his appearance at the game on 6 February, Sir Paul said: "There's nothing bigger then being asked to perform at the Super Bowl. We're looking forward to rocking the millions at home and in the stadium." |
