NEW YORK (AP) - Madonna says she's not happy that M.I.A. made an
obscene gesture during the Super Bowl halftime show.

Madonna said on Ryan Seacrest's radio show Friday that the
gesture was pointless and "seemed out of place." The British
hip-hop artist, invited by Madonna to participate in Sunday's
halftime show in front of 114 million people, extended her middle
finger to the camera.

Madonna said that "I understand it's kind of punk rock and
everything but to me, there was such a feeling of love and good
energy and positivity, it seemed negative." She said it was
something a teenager would do.

The singer said she didn't learn what M.I.A. had done until
someone told her after the show.
