INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 6 (UPI) -- NBC and the NFL have apologized for rapper M.I.A. extending her middle finger at a TV camera during Sunday's Super Bowl halftime show in Indianapolis.
The hip-hop artist was seen making the gesture as she performed alongside headliner Madonna in the mini-concert. The gesture aired live on television in millions of homes despite the network's delay system, which has been employed to prevent the broadcasting of objectionable material since Janet Jackson's notorious 2004 wardrobe malfunction.
