Engineers and scientists apologize for the Super Bowl half time

On behalf of all the engineers and scientists that invented and then perfected all the technology on display at the Super Bowl half time, let me apologize. The fact that you CAN suit up several hundred people in radio-controlled LED light suits and send them prancing around a football field does not mean that you SHOULD. And the fact that you can put lampshades on the heads of some of those, uh, "dancers" and have them prance around behind Black Eyed Peas does not mean that you should.

It is hard to decide what was worse: the abuse of technology, or the millions of gallons of ear bleach needed by those of us who perversely refused to turn the sound off during the half time performance. If nothing else, it is now established that all four members of Black Eyed Peas can't do that thing with their throat and lips that some of us call, um, "singing."
