Is there any question that Prince is the only living human who could go on stage during halftime at the Super Bowl wearing an AUNT JEMIMA HEAD SCARF — possibly because it was raining and he didn’t want to ruin his hair — and still be cool as hell?

Plus he was wearing a turquoise suit with an orange shirt…IN THE RAIN. Dude is hardcore.

We were more alarmed by the appearance of Katie Couric, who had a very, very unfortunate hairdo, and in a bumper for the CBS Evening news, she — honest to god we aren’t making this up!–praised “America’s can-do spirit.”

Can-do spirit!

Best Super Bowl ad for our kind:
Evil Mapasaurus

  1. No way, Ace. Great commercial, but the best was the Snickers commercial.

  2. Martha Thomases says:

    It would have been better with four hours of Prince and twenty minutes of football.

  3. ~chris says:

    I thought it was a Rosie the Riveter head scarf, since he didn’t tuck in the the ends of the bow.

  4. david says:

    The Mapasaurus commercial was very cool.

  5. Peter Krause says:

    Since Prince, like myself, is a mid-1970s graduate of a Minneapolis high school, how could it help but be cool?

    He’s right around 50, people! Wish I looked that good, though…..

  6. Austin says:

    That is EXACTLY what I said: he looks like Mammy!

  7. Tag says:

    No, it’s Aunt Jemima; remember, after he schools you in a pickup game of shirts vs. blouses basketball, he will make you pancakes.
