The Phallic Bowl
Posted Feb. 3 at 5:21 pm by Michael Alan GoldbergSo during last year's Super Bowl halftime show, Prince unleashed his much-talked-about phallic display:
Which prompted one blogger to post recently, Tom Petty, begin plotting your subtle phallic symbol now.
And if you saw the opening to Tom Petty's halftime performance this evening, you know he succeeded — the headstock of a huge, lit-up Flying-V guitar gliding purposefully toward a big, red, waiting heart ... sorry to say I don't have any photos handy, but I'm sure one will make the rounds soon enough.
UPDATE — See what I'm sayin'??:

Posted Feb. 4 at 9:28 am by BrianIt's a flying V guitar. That's what it looks like. If it's phallic, it's not Tom Petty's fault. Furthermore, why is it suggestive because of the heart? Is there some kind of artery sex I'm not aware of?
Posted Feb. 4 at 9:52 am by BarryChrist people. It's not even a guitar. It's an arrow flying through a heart. And by "arrow" and "heart" I mean "penis" and "vagina".
Obviously.....

Posted Feb. 4 at 10:40 am by MarkSo Cupid doesn't shoot arrows into hearts - he shoots penises into vaginas? It's not really love we feel deep inside - it's just raw need for hot, sweaty sex?
