I saw the ad after the fact and didn't think much of it. It was cute and a little dumb just like the show they were advertising. Having it on for kids who watch MNF was really not a good call for ABC to make. In my opinion I think they got what they were looking for. We are all talking about it.

So, why couldn't the mother and father in this story sit their children down adn EXPLAIN it to them? God forbid parents should have to actually communicate with their children and discuss potentially difficult things.
"Well Sally, it's an advertisement. ABC is trying to get people to watch the TV show Desperate Housewives. They used one of the actresses to come onto the player in the locker room. ABC figures by doing this they can reach people who wouldn't normally watch that TV show. And why did she take her clothes off? She most likely didn't, really. TV and movies typically do things like this, but the actors and actresses are very rarely naked. Besides, there is nothing at all wrong with the naked body. Now, lets discuss this later, football is on. And you know what that means. Half naked cheerleaders flaunting their breasts and butts. And bone crushing on the field hits"
