'Unflattering' photos of Beyoncé during Super Bowl's halftime show become instant meme

An 'unflattering' picture of Beyoncé performing at the Super Bowl's halftime show has transformed into a fully-fledged meme; one to rival McKayla Maroney's now-iconic 'Not Impressed' scowl. After Beyoncé's publicist, Yvette Noel-Schure, emailed Buzzfeed earlier this week to ask that the site 'respectfully change' several images of her client to 'some better photos' from the halftime show, her attempt backfired in epic proportions. Buzzfeed published the email, and in the Internet phenomenon known as the Streisand Effect, one image in particular circulated so virulently it became an instant meme.

who is Beyonce?

Put me on the "don't know don't care list" also. During halftime I glanced at the TV, and thought they hired a black transvestite for the entertainment. The ExLax comment upthread was funny and appropriate.

Y’all need to get over your obsession with Ray.
He was more of a liability to the Ravens than an asset.
Vernon Davis owned him. Frank Gore owned him. The niners O line owned him. He looked like Manti T’eo in the Alabama game grabbing at air.

Honestly, I don’t know what the big deal is with that skanky ho. I wouldn’t give her the time of day.

I remember thinking she looked like a dominatrix and not sexy at all despite the physical attributes. After she was done and the applause cranked in, she was flushed in a way that appeared sexual in nature. I long for the days when a vocalist was high on the like list because of the vocal abilities and not for being a peddler of soft porn while being mediocre in the tubes.

Occasionally there is justice well-deserved. The foul presentation at half-time deserves all this and more.

For years, I have written the NFL urging them to dump the garbage masquerading as entertainment and go to a marching band competition through the fall college season to see who would make the final cut and do the super bowl.

Every time they come up with a Black Eyed Peas and I think things couldn't get worse, here comes Madonna or BeeYoncie.

If they don't do Marching bands, I'd vote for Cirque d' Soliel.

It seems that the primary goal of most female performers these days is to hump the audience.

Any sort of musical talent does not matter and is usually electronically manufactured.

I have no interest in any of them.

They are hollow shells, and much like almost everything else in America these days, they are fake.

I love marching bands, but those dance and jive ones in the early eighties can just disappear.

i love the uniformed Sousa bands that can really play.

and pretty dressed cheerleaders who can really jump

i have better times at highschool games than at pro games.

One can easily sing along to the songs that Diana Ross, Whitney Houston or a whole range of the MoTown artists sang. How does one even begin to recall a Beyonce song lyrics no less sing along to it? All her halftime act was just overkill visual stimulation with some lights, fire and smoke thrown in.
Too bad the power didnt go out on her instead of during the game.

Marching Band? I think not. Just about any classic rock band would be fine with me. Just scrap this pop / rap garbage :-)

Last year’s superbowl show with Madonna and Celo should have left no doubt. The whole show was a devil worship fest. Just look at the imagery of the all-seeing eye, dressed in black, that “OK” sign with the three fingers up, etc. Lots of info on YouTube about all of this. Lady Gaga is even worse, with her goat costumes. Search for “black boulay” on YouTube or Yahoo, as well.
