The Who will play a halftime show at the Super Bowl—a fact that residents around Sun Life Stadium in Miami know because of guitarist Pete Townshend's status as a sex offender. A child advocacy group has mailed an advisory to 1,500 homes and schools warning of Townshend's arrival. The guitarist was arrested on child pornography charges in 2003, and though he wasn't convicted, he did end up on a registry. See the advisory postcard at TMZ.
