No one can convince me Billy Eilish is not half fish, i have no proof but no doubts either, check her DNA.
Can guarantee they don't give a fuck about the half-time show, and might actually leave until the game starts back up. It's a nobody that's there for DEI purposes. That or they'll be booing constantly, we all know it's going to be a shitshow anyway. Seriously, this has got to be the most stupid fucking thing they've done.
Might as well go while the NFL slowly crashes and burns.
I spent a year playing the organ for a national hockey team (I won't name them so I don't get hit with TMI stickers lol). I used to have to wear a headset and they would tell me when I can play and when to stop. For example, when the broadcast went to commercial, they'd tell me to play. When they were coming back from commercial, they'd start counting down in my headset and it was up to me to wrap it up. I could choose
what to play, but the
when was always up to them.
One time, one of the teams calls a time out. Someone in the office had the big brain idea to tell me to play during the time out, so they chime in my headset and tell me to play. I start playing and somehow it was interpreted by the fans that they were keeping the teams from playing so I could play the song. Literally like they had called a time out so I could play. I'll tell you this - you haven't lived until you've been booed by 15,000 people. My girlfriend was in the crowd (I used to get her comp tickets) and she said some guy in front of her was screaming, "YOU SUCK!" at the top of his lungs.
Within seconds, the dude in my headset popped back in yelling, "Bad idea! Bad idea!! STOP PLAYING NOW!" I stopped and the booing stopped immediately. Then the game continued as planned.
If I learned anything it's that - I assure you - fans of whatever team - Islanders, Flyers, Red Wings, etc. absolutely do not give a rat's fucking ass about any of the frou-frou shit, including the organist, and if they think anything is getting in the way of the actual game, they will riot. I'm pretty much in agreement that sportsball fans probably give as little shit as possible about the halftime act and if it was completely removed, they'd probably be much happier.

Lol I'd love to know the story behind that. Maybe Nissan didn't give enough of a shit to take the name back. A lot of companies were slow to register their names which is why so many people were cyber-squatting. I mentioned Panasonic specifically because I remember being the first case I had heard of, where a big brain registered it and tried to extort Panasonic over it, and Panasonic just had their lawyer rub his balls all over the dude's face and take the name.
Her copyright application:
Just want to mention, as I have experience with this - that's a trademark application, not a copyright application. Very big difference.
Copyright is pretty easy - I write stuff for TV and shows and copyright constantly. Copyright you just upload your song, file your paperwork and pay the $50 fee and it's copyrighted.
Trademarking something is completely different. She'll never get the trademark.
One time when I was hired to write a musical, I invented a word used in the musical and trademarked it. First of all you can't just trademark a normal word like "Birthday" and then try to extort money from every greeting card company. You can only trademark a newly invented word (Like how Verizon is made up of Veritas+Horizon) or a phrase that uses a specific combination of normal words. Like how GE Light Bulbs has the tagline - "We bring good thing to life". They can trademark that phrase, which is a unique combination of words, but they can't trademark a single, common word like "life".
Anyway, I had invented a word and so I wanted to trademark it. Right off the bat you have to get a trademark attorney to file the paperwork. The very first thing the trademark attorney will do is an actual trademark search to make sure the thing you want to trademark hasn't been trademarked before because it's illegal to try to trademark something that's already trademarked. Of course that costs a nice amount. If you pass the trademark search, then the trademark attorney will want to file paperwork for it and submit it. Once the paperwork is filed, you get put in a queue where eventually your paperwork gets looked over by someone at the trademark office.
At his point I was already $2,000 in the hole with the attorney and this is just to do the search and file the paperwork. This in no way guarantees that I will be awarded the trademark. I can be rejected and that's that. After they overlook your trademark application, (and this is where her plan falls down) they will request actual, physical proof of usage of your trademark in order to consider it. So in my case, since I was trademarking a word, I had to provide actual physical proof I was using the word. If I remember correctly, they needed three different usages. I had to provide huge promotional concert posters with the word on it, the playbill for the musical with the word mentioned in it, and copies of the lyrics of the songs where it was used. These were physical items I had to have printed up and provided to the trademark office. Then it goes before a committee and they actually rule on whether I have provided strong enough usage to award me a trademark for my word.
As a side note, I wanted to provide merch like shirts with the word on it, but I couldn't because using the word on "apparel" is a completely different trademark! The trademark I was applying for was solely for print media. If I wanted to use the word on merch, I'd have to file for an additional trademark for usage on apparel and go through the whole thing again, and provide merch with the word on it! You can see how quickly this becomes a bureaucratic nightmare. Literally government nickel and diming you to death.
This is in stark contrast to a copyright, where you can copyright whatever the fuck you want just by uploading it to the copyright website and paying their paltry fee.
Now here's the kicker - if / when you get awarded your trademark, you have to
keep using it because if you stagnate on it, you
will lose it. In my case, just before the musical opened, everything came crashing down. The chick who wrote it was some BPD nutcase, completely raided the bank account for the show, stole everything, and disappeared and the whole show never even got to open. I no longer had a use for the word and just let it sit there. About a year later I had checked the trademark site and looked myself up and indeed, the trademark office had marked my trademark "inactive" and had revoked it and I lost my trademark because I wasn't using my trademark. What a waste of fucking money.
TL;DR: This chick is batshit. She will never be awarded a trademark for something she can't provide physical evidence that she even owns. She's literally wasting her money, and everyone's time to get some temporary internet ass pats from liberals.
