madonna superbowl A middle-finger salute and an apparent s-word may trigger controversy about Madonna's half-time show on Sunday. Guest performer MIA apparently ad-libbed the gesture and the apparent naughty word, while broadcasters scrambled to cover them. The add-ons came during Madonna's new single, "Give Me All Your Luvin'." Decency groups are already lobbying to keep the FCC's Pacifica rules about indecency and obscenity in place, as the Supreme Court grapples with the issue brought up by awards-utterances by Bono, Cher and Nicole Richie – not to mention the 2004 Janet Jackson "wardrobe malfunction."
