My take on the Monday Night Football/Desperate Housewives flack...

[wyldwolf]

...if this hasn't already been pointed out here...

There is overt sexuality already in beer ads that run during football games.

Not much fake outrage there...

...but let one white woman jump into the arms of a black man and the right goes nuts.

1. yup

4. I found Nothing Wrong With It

I have seen it a few times and even though Nicolette Sheridan looked desperate, I thought it was kinda funny. The NFL are a bunch of rich crybabies. It was filmed in a NFL lockerroom. It was clearly set up so that MNF would get some much needed publicity. The show had become a little stale and now everyone is talking about it again!

5. true

...but let one white woman jump into the arms of a black man and the right goes nuts.

I think that's what it's really about, but all they talk about the fact that she was apparently naked (from the back and I've seen pictures that clearly show she was wearing underwear of some sort).

9. I really have a problem

with ALL of the overt sexual messages on tv. Like the women in underware jumping around, men in their undies laying around the house like a bunch of lazies...yeah I was upset with the NFL and Janet Jackson flashes, Law and Order had a flash of a womans butt last week as well as a man covered frontally only by his hands. I really don't like the herbal organics commercials.


Guess I am a prude...:eyes: .. :D

[DrWeird]

11. Yup. You're a prude.

Goodness gracious! People in underwear!! Won't somebody PLEASE think of the children!!!

10. ABC are the real culprits

Did they honestly think that a locker room conversation because a black man in a football uniform and a white woman in a towel was no big deal? They knew exactly what they were doing and what the results would be. But attaching the success of Desparate Housewives to their other shows was the only thing that mattered.
