Madonna is commenting on rapper M.I.A. giving the finger to the camera during the Material Girl's greatly hyped Super Bowl halftime show last Sunday.

Madonna said on On–Air with Ryan Seacrest, that the move was "such a teenager, irrelevant thing to do." "It was negative," she said, asking, "What's the point?"
