As you might expect, this story is all over the wingnut blogs this week. While the majority of the second-grade parents were in support of the field trip, the school is under fire by a handful of parents* who questioned whether the Castro is an appropriate destination for 8-year-old boys. One parent in particular reached out to SFGate and expressed frustration, anxiety, and confusion around the field… Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : Joe. My. God.

Our 2011 tournament begins on March 14, but early favorites Linkin Park already proclaim, ‘We’re winners. That’s our motto.’ By James Montgomery Linkin Park Photo: Warner Bros. Last year, whether it was due to oversight by the selection committee or just plain bias, Linkin Park did not make the field of 65 bands that competed in MTV’s inaugural Musical March Madness tournament. In the end, after weeks of fiercely contested matchups , more than 2 million votes and precisely one accusation of cheating, it was Coheed and Cambria that ended up taking home the championship, shocking the world and inspiring this hilarious photograph in the process. And while we’re not going to discount the valiant efforts of Coheed and their fervent fanbase — after all, winners were determined by fan voting — we couldn’t help but wonder if things would’ve turned out differently had Linkin Park made the tournament in the first place. They are, after all, one of the biggest rock acts on the planet, commanding a vast (and loyal) army of fans that most certainly would’ve carried them to the Final Four … at least. So this year, we’re determined to put that claim to the test. Because while we’ll reveal our full 2011 MTV Musical March Madness bracket on Monday (March 14), we’re going to let it slip right now that not only did Linkin Park make the field this year, they’ll enter the 2011 tournament at a very high seed. This is what happens when you release a jaw-dropping, envelope-pushing album, A Thousand Suns, and then convince the entire world to listen . So, does Linkin Park have what it takes to claim the 2011 MMM Championship? We decided to ask them, and as it turns out, they’ve already got their game plan in place. “Well, I think what we’re going to have to do is, we’re going to have to be smart about our offense, we’re going to have to have a tough defense,” Chester Bennington said. “We’re going to put a lot of pressure on the other bands, to really perform at their best. Because, you know, our motto is ‘Go hard all the time.’ Whether we win or lose, we’re winners. That’s our motto.” That’s actually two mottos, but who’s counting. And though they’re already planning on bringing the pressure — Brad Delson is a master of the full-court press — Linkin Park are focused on one thing, and one thing only: hoisting the hardware on April 5. “We want to win,” Mike Shinoda smiled. “We want to win,” Bennington added. “So basically, we’ll let these guys come in and play hard, but we’re going to want to kick their asses. And that’s just how it goes.” MTV’s 2011 Musical March Madness Tournament begins on Monday, March 14, when we reveal the full field of 65 bands that will battle for the championship. Winners are determined by fan votes, so if your favorite act made the cut, it’ll be up to you to guide them to glory. You can rally the troops on Twitter using the hashtag #MMM … but get ready, it’s gonna be a war. Related Artists Linkin Park

Foursome is joined by special guests and tons of lights for smash-hit medley. By Mawuse Ziegbe Black Eyed Peas perform during the Super Bowl XLV halftime show Photo: Getty Images The Black Eyed Peas promised a party at the Super Bowl halftime show on Sunday (February 6), and the pop supernovas definitely delivered, with a performance teeming with lights, dancers and surprise appearances from celebrity pals. Following a Chatter.com commercial that showed animated versions of the Peas showing off their social-media skills, the group kicked things off with their 2009 smash “I Gotta Feeling,” descending from the ceiling on illuminated platforms onto a stage surrounded by a cluster of dancers clad in white bodysuits. The foursome led the team of fist-pumping troops in “Tron”-like getups, with Taboo sporting an outfit covered in flashing lights, will.i.am rocking a shiny hairpiece, Apl.de.ap wearing huge bright studs and Fergie vamping it up in bling-laden shoulder pads. When the speaker-busting bass of “Boom Boom Pow” dropped, the dancers dispersed across the field to create arrow-shaped formations as the glow-in-the-dark lights on their suits illuminated the stadium. Then rumored surprise guest Slash of Guns N’ Roses rose from below the stage for a “Sweet Child O’ Mine” duet with Fergie. The GNR great rocked a finger-searing solo in a studded version of his signature black top hat as more angular platforms and dancers moved across the gridiron. The platforms were bearing scores of marching-band musicians who blasted their horns and pounded away on their drums as the Peas went into “Pump It” and blue lights splashed across the production. Quick streams of fog heralded the arrival of the Peas’ second surprise guest, Usher, who swooped in on a long chain to bust out his will.i.am-assisted joint “OMG.” Rocking a sparkly collar on an otherwise all-white ensemble, the R&B hitmaker cranked out several counts of energetic choreography, enlivening moves from his “OMG” video and at one point jumping over Will and landing in a split. A spray of pyro ushered in the collective’s breakout 2003 hit “Where Is the Love?” as the oddly shaped platforms spelled out the word “Love” in bright-red letters. The team of dancers, which appeared to have multiplied to over 100, formed hearts across the field as will updated the lyrics of the smash with lines like, “Obama, let’s get these educated.” Then the group jumped ahead to their most recent single, 2010’s “The Time (Dirty Bit),” as several back up hoofers rocking cubed helmets joined the Peas onstage and dancers lined up along the gridiron to simultaneously bust out the Running Man, a move which drew cheers from the crowd. The platinum-selling Peas wrapped up the performance with a reprise of “I Gotta Feeling,” as the quartet triumphantly signed off amid of blitz of fog, firepower and flashing lights. Ripping the halftime show was clearly a touching moment for will, who tweeted beforehand, “Me and apl started the peas when we were 16 yesterday we were dreamin now were livin it. Wow. I’m not crying out of sadness or nervousness its joy and pride and memories and the journey.” And once the crew left the stage, the frontman was not only proud, but pumped. “That was so freakin sick,” he wrote . “Wow…!!!” What did you think of the Black Eyed Peas’ Super Bowl performance?

Before their Chicago tour kickoff, the guys pick their dream rivals for a Road Dogs game. By Jocelyn Vena Jonas Brothers get ready to kick off another Road Dogs season in Chicago Photo: Akshay Bhansali CHICAGO — On Friday (August 6), the Jonas Brothers kicked off another Road Dogs season on the eve of their big tour kickoff . They were not only there to pursue their love of all things baseball, but also to shed light on a cause they needs more attention. “We’re a part of the X the Text campaign with our sponsor Allstate, which is an amazing thing,” Kevin Jonas told MTV News only minutes before taking the field. “So many teen drivers and drivers out there have accidents texting while driving, and it’s such a [great] thing to bring awareness to this.” While this particular game was for a good cause, the guys had a few suggestions for who they’d like to see on the field at a future Road Dogs game to challenge the brothers, the band and their crew to a game. “The Yankees,” Kevin said. Nick added: “I think it’d be fun. I think the Yankees would be a challenge.” With a professional sports team chosen as a possible contender, the guys also nailed down a band they could see themselves playing against. “Kings of Leon,” Kevin said. “We challenge Kings of Leon to a game of softball. That’d be rad. They’re some Southern boys. I bet you they play some baseball.” While the guys had a good time on the field, they weren’t victorious. “Road Dogs played well,” Joe tweeted after the game. “We lost. 14-12 Next time we win.” Nick tweeted that, despite his performance, the guys couldn’t sail to victory. “We lost… But we played well. Final score 14-12,” he wrote. “We’ll get them next time. I hit a home run that was cool!” Who would you like to see out on the field against the Jonas Brothers? Share your ideas in the comments!
