What did you think of the T.O and Nicolette Sheridan skit on MNF?

[Egoatdoor]

It completely caught me off guard. I'm not familiar with the show Desparate Housewives and I thought the skit was a commercial. But then it went on and on and on. Then she ripped of her towel and jumped into T.O's arms.

After it was over, my first thought was "Is ABC crazy???". After what happened at the Super Bowl and the fine that was levied on the network showing the game, I could not believe that ABC would do something like that. And there was no doubt, she was buck naked when she jumped on T.O.

Apparently the phones lit up at ABC with viewers complaining and ABC and the NFL have apologized. The main issue from the callers seems to be that parents had tuned into the game with their kids sitting also in front of the TV set and there was no warning that a strip scene was about to happen. I know I was totally surprised.

If you exclude the inappropriateness of showing that on network TV in prime time hours, or if it had been shown instead as a skit on later night cable, say as a promo for the game and the show, then I would have thought "that was funny!!".

What do all of you think about it?

It just shows where the morals of society have gone,unfortunately most people think of it as no big deal!!!

 

[oaktownboy]

9pm is not primetime. Your children should be in bed, it's a school night. The rules for primetime end at 9pm.

Worry about your kids being obese, not seeing a tit.

didn't offend me.

One of my co workers said the same thing( her son is in bed at 8), but it was 6 o'clock in the west.

People who were offended by that are stupid and should be executed.

Excellent point, never thought of that. Regardless, it is no worse than what happens in the soaps.

I personally saw no point from the ad, they knew they were gonna get complaints, IMO it wasn't worth airing it, although I bet Desparate housewives gets more viewers from it.

Exactly!! Commercial was well received then

Sorry, but that has to be the dumbest reply I have read in a while. While it did not offend me, my wife didn't like it. So should I whip out my Glock and pop her off?

EXACLTLY!!!!
my god. if it's not one thing, its another. it seems like alls people do nowadays is COMPLAIN about EVERYTHING.

Someone steps on an ant and the National Coalition Against Violence of Small Insects steps in and demands reprecussions. However, they are forced to wait in line at the courtroom b/c there's already people protesting from the Quiet Snow Shoveling Council and others from the National Foundation Opposing Discrimination Against Gay or Lesbian, South African, Left-Handed, Blue-eyed Sagittarius's.

(you get the point)

 

[I Are Baboon]

There are so many "worse" things on TV. The skimpy cheerleader outfits with CIALIS ads all around them, the Herbal Essence commercials, the Sex and the City commercials, pretty much ANYTHING on reality TV, etc etc etc. The ABC skit showed nothing graphic, used no foul language, and there was no nudity. It was simple cross-promotion, which happens ALL THE TIME when sporting events are on TV.

Ad Tony Dungy is OFF HIS ROCKER with his racism comments.

No you absolutely should in no-way pop a cap in your wife. Hire Flex ... he'll do it for $50. He needs the cash for all those roids he's on ...

ABC was within the rules, but still a little risque. Slam 'em? No fucking way. Daytime soaps have been worser and stupider for longerer. Just no comparison to Janet's tit shot ... that was a tit on network TV when not expected by mom or dad. We had no time to cover the eyes of our tender little children. Put that tit on HBO ... in slow mo.

 

[SPIKE1257]

I wanna see more naked women on T.V... I just can't seem to get enough, call me crazy.

The Spanish soaps are awesome, I don't understand a word, but the women are hot and wearing short skirts and belly shirts.

With inflations it's up to $52, sorry boys.

Don't people realize there's SO much WORSE shit going on in the world????

War. Hunger. Disease. Poverty. Illiteracy. etc. etc. etc.

Here's an idea people DON'T BE SO FUCKING UPTIGHT. Life is TOO short too worry about petty shit

[gr81]

seriously man, someone tell me why we aren't treatin these jackoffs like what they are, lunatics! Why are we held hostage by what they thikn, why isn't what the majority of peoples views as important. This commercial wasn't revealing at all and was much tamer than most of the crap on tv. oh and btw retards, please tellme what tha worst thing that could come out of that situation, plese take me down that slippery slope. An 8 yr old sees a women in a towel and 5 yrs later he's in prison for rape, is taht it.. really?! just shut up

 

[King Silverback]

C'mon, man. My post is not meant to be taken literally.

Sorry, I'm just tired of all this crap about this is wrong, this is right, what the hell happened to " Use your own judgement"? Like I said, I didn't find it offensive, some people do, that doesn't make me right, and them wrong. We all have an opinion. BUT, I am tired of people (in general) telling me whats right and whats wrong, leave me alone and let me decide. Sorry for ranting and I apologize for my comments Baboon!!!

Sorry man but the $2 more is too much. You know we have a steady stream of wetbacks here in Texas that will do your job for half that wage.

On a side note ... in 1998 there were 993 co's fined for useing illegal workers ... in 2001 there were 13! This is according to a Time mag article.
