Jennifer Lopez's Super Bowl show labelled "borderline pornography" following over 1,000 complaints

While more than 100 million viewers watched Jennifer Lopez and Shakira's sultry Super Bowl 2020 halftime show during the flagship NFL game at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida in early February — it seems not everyone loved what they saw.

According to Texas television station WFAA, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) received 1,312 complaints from viewers in regard to the halftime show, with some branding the performance "borderline pornography".

Apparently one disgruntled viewer wrote: "The halftime show last night was beyond inappropriate. Shakira laying on her side gyrating like sex, Lopez on a stripper pole, Lopez bending over to expose her butt crack, both performers grabbing their vaginas, Shakira grinding her butt against some tinfoil wearing man's penis. This was incredibly offensive. My children were watching."

And another complained: "Completely inappropriate half time-show with simulated orgies, stripping, and borderline pornography. This is a family event during prime time and should never have happened."

A family in Tennessee were horrified to have their "eyes molested" by the short segment.

They wrote: "I do not subscribe to The Playboy Channel, we do not buy porn for $20 a flick, we simply wanted to sit down as a family and watch the Super Bowl. God forbid we expected to watch football and a quick concert but instead had our eyes molested ... JLo's movie Hustlers was rated R so since when is rated R viewing allowed on network TV at 7/8:00pm?"

One viewer vowed to "boycott the NHL" as a result of the show.

They fumed: "Strip clubs have that c*** with s**** performing like this! This is soft porn! Fine the NFL or stop the HALFTIME shows! Beyond INAPPROPRIATE!!! BOYCOTTING THE NFL!!!(sic)"

Despite the complaints, the two Latina stars have attracted over 136 million views on YouTube for their show.
