Try rm -rf, dear

Far be it for us to follow the travails of artists selected to provide 90 percent of what in America passes for entertainment at the annual Super Bowl, where they play what in America passes for football. We won’t even pretend to understand how an hour-long game can reasonably last over four hours.

But we do know a little about how the internet works. So when singer Beyoncé Knowles, who filled some of the interminable time between Super Bowl advertisements, came across a selection of unflattering stills of her ‘looking fierce’, and asked a major internet site to please remove said unflattering photographs from the internet, we had to chuckle.
