A Change.org petition to get Gwar to be the halftime entertainment at the 2015 Super Bowl has almost hit 30K signatures.
The petition, started by Kentucky man Jeff Cantrell, has a fairly simple demand:
The time for GWAR to address the nation is NOW.
Every year people complain about who the halftime show is going to feature, now we are telling you who we want: WE WANT GWAR in 2015!
Why should articles like “Bruno Mars Announced For Super Bowl Halftime Show, Gwar Waits Until Next Year (Again)” (from Screen Junkies) be a joke?
We don’t want another year of sitting around talking through a muted, boring NFL Super Bowl halftime show. We want something different. We want a real spectacle that only GWAR can provide. Doesn’t the NFL want more viewers? Don’t advertisers want more people paying attention? This way everyone wins.
Plus, GWAR’s relationship with American football is one of the strongest in music. Front man Dave Brockie writes a football column for MetalSucks.com called “Necessary Roughness” even the “The Dan Patrick Show” has an Oderous mask on display. It’s been suggested by Sports Illustrated that GWAR should become mascots!
NFL must listen to the people. GWAR is more American than apple pie.
Please sign, share, and show your support.
The rapid ascent of the signatures has garnered a decent amount of media attention. Oderous himself spoke of the petition on the Dan Patrick show saying, “How many crappy pop stars do we have to have ruining our favorite sport?!”

Keith Olbermann, now on ESPN 2, mentioned the petition as well. He called out the current line up for the 2014 Super Bowl, Bruno Mars, as one of his “Worst People of the week” and instead threw his support behind “the Virginia-based thrash metal band Gwar.” Take a gander below:
