Following Embarrassment, NFL Announces Paul McCartney to Perform at Next Super Bowl

update

Still embarrased by the last Super Bowl halftime show, the National Football League has announced Paul McCartney will be the featured performer at the championship game on February 6 in Jacksonville, Florida.

Janet Jackson's breast was bared last February during a duet with pop star Justin Timberlake, which spurred hundreds of thousands of complaints to federal broadcast regulators.

NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy says all facets of the upcoming 12-minute show have been reviewed, including talent selection, song selection and costume selection.

Watched by more than 144 million viewers in the United States last year, the Super Bowl is the nation's highest-rated TV program and the most-watched single-day sporting event. The game will be broadcast in more than 200 countries worldwide.
