Finally, finally, Madonna has spoken out about M.I.A. flipping off the cameras for less than one second during the Super Bowl Halftime show. Specifically, during HER MADJESTY's Super Bowl Half Time Show. No one would have ever even noticed the finger-flip if it weren't for close scrutiny of photographs after it aired, but the gesture led to a parents watchdog group lashing out on M.I.A. Anyway, back to present day: in an interview with Ryan Seacrest, Madonna's first interview since the incident, she said:
Madonna Not Happy About M.I.A.'s Middle Finger During Super Bowl
Madonna's Super Bowl Halftime: M.I.A.'s Middle Finger, LMFAO, Nicki Minaj And Cee Lo
Shockingly, Madonna kept her guns hidden and left the distaste for the bourgeoisie to M.I.A., who gave the finger to America (or just a camera guy).
Lady Gaga Buys Hot Dog, Flips Another Bird
Apparently gearing up for her middle finger meltdown at Citi Field on Thursday, last Wednesday Lady Gaga was content to just flip off whoever was around while she was trying to buy a hot dog. And really, who can blame her? It's not like striking the Captain Morgan stance while seemingly not wearing any underwear is something any normal person would stare at, right?

Rex Ryan Discusses His Middle Finger And Belly
Jets coach Rex Ryan discussed two of his big off-season moments—Flipping the bird while in Miami and showing off his belly while at a hockey game—at the NFL Scouting Combine yesterday. "I am no Boy Scout and I don't pretend to be. But I am certainly trying to mature a little bit more," he said.
Witness: Rex Ryan Flipped Bird After Being Taunted, Spit On
The latest revelation in Rex Ryan's Finger-Gate: Fox Sports reporter Jay Glazer says the Jets coach was repeatedly harassed and even spit on by "a guy who was going out of his way to incite a fight." The man allegedly told Ryan, "Hey. I eff-in hate you. I hate you. I hate you. You're an eff-in piece of eff...I hate you. I hope you die, you fat piece of crap,' and then spit at him." Ryan and his group ran into the man two more times, and third time being a charm, Ryan flipped off the man. Glazer declared that Ryan's $50,000 fine for the incident "is the most ridiculous thing. If (Jets GM) Mike Tannenbaum or (Jets owner) Woody Johnson was there, they would have hit the guy."

After flipping off some folks at a mixed martial arts event in Miami—and being caught doing so on camera—Jets coach Rex Ryan was fined $50,000 by the team. According to the Daily News, "The size of the fine shows that the organization was embarrassed and upset by Ryan's behavior."
Rex Ryan Sorry For "Stupid, Inappropriate" Bird-Flipping
Unfortunately for Jets coach Rex Ryan, what happens in Miami doesn't stay in Miami, thanks to technology. When apparently provoked at a mixed martial arts event (yes, a mixed martial arts event), Ryan flipped the bird and someone—naturally—caught the gesture on his cellphone. Now the NFL is looking into whether it will fine Ryan.
