As if the Janet Jackson breast controversy wasn't enough, Sunday's (2/1) Super Bowl halftime show is now getting flack from the Veterans of Foreign Wars, which is upset about the makeshift poncho that Kid Rock [ tickets ] wore during his performance.

Kid Rock created the poncho by slitting a hole in an American flag and slipping it over his head.

"While MTV and CBS have issued apologies for the Janet Jackson incident, they have yet to address Kid Rock's disgusting use of an American flag as a costume prop," the VFW's Edward S. Banas Sr. said in a statement. "The 1.6 million members of the VFW agree that Kid Rock's stunt was in poor taste and extremely disrespectful to the members of our armed forces who everyday pledge their allegiance--and their life--to our flag. I find it unconscionable that the entire news media, along with CBS, the NFL and MTV, have yet to address this."
