As you’ve surely heard by now, Bad Bunny delivered an epic performance during halftime of Super Bowl LX on Sunday night.

For many viewers, it was the most entertaining halftime spectacle in recent memory.

But others began criticizing this year’s halftime show months ago, when Bad Bunny — real name Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio — was first announced as the headliner.

They complained that the performance would be un-American, even though Benito was born in the US territory of Puerto Rico.

They griped that he performs primarily in Spanish, as though anyone watches the Super Bowl halftime show for the lyrics.

In other words, this is a situation where a lot of people got outraged first, and then worked their way backward to try and justify their furor.

The haters received some valuable ammunition on Monday in the form of a viral photo that appears to show Benito burning an American flag.

“Right here. This is why this fu–wad should be nowhere near the Super Bowl,” wrote one very angry X user who reposted the pic.

Needless to say, a lot of very pissed off patriots soon joined OP in expressing their outrage.

Few of those people could be bothered by the fact that the photo is very clearly fake.

Thankfully, community notes exist, and the post has now been updated with some important facts:

“The image first appeared on a Facebook account that says it publishes satire,” the note reads.

“The image contained a SynthID watermark, indicating it had been generated using artificial intelligence.”

Of course, the original poster still hasn’t deleted the photo, because being outraged is more important than being right.

It’s possible that no halftime show in history has sparked as much controversy as Bad Bunny’s.

As we previously reported, the folks at Turning Point USA were so angry that they prerecorded their own halftime show and aired it opposite the real one.

Donald Trump lashed out at Bad Bunny on his Truth Social platform, calling this year’s halftime show “one of the worst ever.”

“The Super Bowl Halftime Show is absolutely terrible, one of the worst, EVER! It makes no sense, is an affront to the Greatness of America, and doesn’t represent our standards of Success, Creativity, or Excellence,” the president posted, adding:

“Nobody understands a word this guy is saying, and the dancing is disgusting, especially for young children that are watching from throughout the U.S.A., and all over the World.

“This ‘Show’ is just a ‘slap in the face’ to our Country, which is setting new standards and records every single day — including the Best Stock Market and 401(k)s in History!”

How has Benito responded to all of this?

Well, it seems that he’s mostly just shrugged it off and kept living his best life. One thing he hasn’t done (as far as anyone knows) is burn an American flag — but don’t tell that to the AI-happy hate mongers.

Last year, Jill Duggar was the victim of a car accident.

She has now marked the one-year anniversary of that scary incident with an update.

One of the details that she is disclosing is that her children were in the car — and the family is still healing after hospital visits and physical therapy.

Some details are still under wraps — probably, fans believe, because she’s suing.

The details of the accident sound scary (and many fans can relate)

Late last week, Jill Duggar took to her Instagram page to share a distressing update alongside a selfie in a hospital gown.

“1 year ago today we were hit from behind,” she revealed, describing a vehicular collision.

Jill detailed that they were struck “by an unlicensed driver at full speed while we were stopped at a red light.”

This was not just her and her husband, Derick Dillard.

10-year-old Israel, 8-year-old Samuel, and 3-year-old Freddy were also in the vehicle.

“We had all of our kids in the car with us,” Jill revealed.

“And it was so scary,” she described, “and shook us all up.”

Jill wrote: “We thank God that things didn’t turn out worse.”

She admitted: “But due to the wreck, this last year has been crazier than we initially anticipated.”

Jill shared: “It’s been full of lots of scans, physical therapy, chiropractic and doctor appointments for all of us as we continue to evaluate things.”

Healing from a collision like this can take years

“I’m so thankful for God’s continued grace,” Jill then expressed.

“And,” she concluded, she will continue to “pray that this next year brings continued healing!”

If you have ever been in a family car crash, you know that it’s a little different.

You wonder about babies with their fragile bodies that have limited shock absorption compared to adults.

Parents fret over injuries to their children — and may discover that the shock of the impact has hurt them in ways that they don’t even notice at first.

As Jill suggested in her post, the pain from a vehicular collision can last for days, months, or even years — even with access to medical care.

Human bodies are resilient. But the impact of thousands of pounds traveling at high speed and then abruptly stopping, transferring that kinetic energy into flesh and bone? It can be life-altering.

Some people will find that parts of their bodies, particularly necks, are never quite the same after an impact. Especially if they were rear-ended while stationary.

The good news is that cars are much better at absorbing more of the kinetic force than they were generations ago. The reason that impacts crumple the exterior of cars, totaling them, is because an “unbreakable” car frame would transfer more of the force directly into the passengers.

Unfortunately, the bad news is that a car slamming into you is still a car slamming into you. You don’t want that for you or for your children.

They’re suing, right?

As you can imagine, commenters spent the weekend flooding Jill with support and sympathy.

Several cracked jokes about how the family is certainly suing the other driver.

(Derick may have stepped down from his job as an attorney, but he does have a law degree — even if he doesn’t handle his own case, which he should not, he’d have known immediately to advise Jill to document everything but post nothing until they were ready)

Obviously, we here at THG are not aware of any of the facts of the case. We have only Jill’s post to inform us.

But it is our hope that everyone makes a full recovery.
