Hubby and I every evening watch "Around The Horn", "Pardon The Interruption" and "I, Max". They all have different thoughts on this, from "who cares" to "it's wrong". My feelings are along the lines of some of the coments on these shows, there is no way that ABC and the NFL didn't have any prior knowledge about that spot. I'm sorry, but when it comes to the networks and the kind of money they deal with, there is no possible way the right hand didn't know what the left was doing. Someone else stated, and I agree, that this was just a publicity ploy to promote two of ABC's interests.
I really don't care because far worse has been done and shown on network t.v. in the past. Ever since the Janet fiasco the networks and the FCC have turned into even more strict puritians. I just don't understand how they can now enforce rules banning things that they have been letting on air for years now. Hello hypocrites! Sometimes I wish we were more like some european countries, where nudity is considered natural and normal (which it is!)
The only thing about the "NFL Desperate Housewives" spot that bugged me was the "Desperate Housewives" part. Aren't there enough sheep that "flock" to soap's during the day? Do we really need a prime-time soap taking up space ala "Dallas" or "Dynasty"? Reality t.v. has just about run it's course, but I'd rather watch it anytime than the soapy "Housewives" (and I watched very little reality t.v. to begin with).
