Halftime Ironies

Has anyone noticed these two ironies about this year's Super Bowl halftime?

1. It was CBS, home to the oldest demographic of all the networks (and therefore the least likely to offend anyone other than teenagers) and built on shows like Murder, She Wrote that got stuck with the wardrobe malfunction of all time whereas Fox, the network that never met a cultural standard it didn't smash and built on shows like Married With Children, That 70's Show, and The Simpsons, will be presenting what will probably be the most family-friendly halftime show in recent memory. (Excepting the inevitable ED treatment ads, with their side effect warnings about 4 hour erections, and bikini-clad women cavorting and shilling for beer.)

2. Paul McCartney, once a leading member of a rock band that was perceived as a bigger threat to cultural standards than Janet Jackson could ever dream of being, is the safe choice as performer to ensure a G (well, maybe PG) rated show.
