2008 Lingerie Bowl canceled

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Jan. 30 (UPI) -- Organizers of the Lingerie Bowl, a Super Bowl halftime show featuring scantily clad women, said in Scottsdale, Ariz., that this year's event has been canceled.

Horizon Productions, the company that promotes the event, which in previous years was held in Los Angeles, said the city of Scottsdale took too long to process its permits and organizers were left without enough time to find an alternative venue, the Arizona Republic reported Wednesday.

The Bowl was widely publicized in Scottsdale since the location was announced last February, and more than 200 women auditioned for a spot in the lingerie-clad football game at the Jackrabbit Supper Club & Lounge in August.
