99 problems
This link is to a cover song done by the indie/alternative band Hugo of the song 99 problems originally done by Jay-Z. The band uses the cover hook from the original song while replacing the verses with their own lyrics. The songs meaning is changed in the remix. In the original, Jay-Z is singing about certain hardships that young African-Americans face in the ghettos of America. Obviously, a bunch of white guys would know very little about these things, especially seeing as they are from London. The song was recorded and released by Jay-Z, and is very much a tribute to the original.

Controversy in the super bowl
I watched the super bowl and honestly was quite disappointed with the selection of commercials this year. There were very few that made me smile, and even fewer that made me laugh. As for controversial advertisements, I failed to find any that I thought were outright vulgar. Obviously, Godaddy always toes the line with their scantily clad women, but they never go too far with it. The only other one that I can think of that was even remotely controversial would be Chrysler's advertisement featuring Clint Eastwood. I personally was not bothered by the commercial. However, this one had a lot of buzz about it on the internet.
