The Internet Loved, Hated Beyonce’s Super Bowl Halftime Show
If you weren’t watching Downton Abbey last night, chances are you were one of the 110 million people who tuned in to watch Super Bowl 2013 (the Roman numerals thing is so cumbersome). Beyonce’s dazzling Super Bowl halftime performance, which included lots of leather and a pyrotechnic guitar, was the subject of much debate on social media. Here, a sampling of the love and hate from Twitter and Facebook.
