Monday Night Football opening skit - FCC

[CowboyPrincess]

I thought it was funny. Anyone that found it offensive is either a nun or 70 years old and need help finding their teeth in the morning.

I guess that would be the star of that skit now too. Owens was on Entertainment Tonight and talked exclusively about it and said that when he did the skit neither he nor the Eagles office thought anything of it. But now he admits that it was offensive and inappropriate for MNF with children watching the game.

I found it offensive also. I wasn't too pleased to find out that while I was getting supper ready, my 12 yr old was seeing that. He was watching for the kick off so he could tell me when the game was starting. At least he got up and told me about what was on tv. He thought it was stupid and had nothing to do with football.

No, were not all stuck in the sewer.

So anyone not bothered by this commercial is "stuck in the sewer"?

Classic holier than thou post if I've ever seen one.

Not any more than anyone finding it offensive being either a nun or a 70 years old that needs help finding their teeth in the morning.


*anyone see where I put my habit and teeth this morning???

I think this post proved my point.

What is hilarious is that the NFL is yapping that such a skit is not appropriate yet it does not mind having me watch Erectile dysfunction ads during Sunday games where some 40 year old woman with a smile on her face tells me Levitra is great for that satisfying sexual experience because it provides long lasting erections.

It is hypocrisy 101.

I agree with the poster who wrote that anyone "offended" by the ad is either a nun of stuck in the 1870s.

No, every hard up, ugly, can't get their own girl guy wants that. Some of us that do not have that problem don't need that crap.

The ones who comment that others who like porn are just perverts who cannot score are usually the ones who watch the most porn.

How about a third option to y'all "classification"... say maybe.... A Parent.

I wasn't offended that I saw it, geez, I'm 40 yrs old, I've seen worse on TV and in real life. However, MNF isn't just an adult show, it's a family oriented program. It wasn't an adult that got a jersey off Mean Joe Green for a coke in the commerical... it was a young fan. Little boys and girls watch football to see their sports heros that are on their trading cards. I don't think any of those commericials have a place in MNF. But MNF isn't the only sport with those commericials. I'm a NASCAR fan and I didn't like being asked by my then 10 yr old son what Viagra was cuz it was painted on the side of the #6 Mark Martin car.

The networks and sports industry need to remember that their are children in jerseys and baseball caps watching the sport, not just adults. Run those types of commericals during the Sex in the City and adult humored type shows.

MNF should apologize for continuing to run "You've been Sacked!"

I hate having to explain to my kids when they ask, "Is that supposed to be funny daddy?" I'd rather tell them why the pretty lady dropped her towel.

Not offended or bothered by it.

People complain about a little back showing, yet have no problem with their children watching music videos of women in undergarments and videos that clearly are sexually referenced. It just seems a little over the top to me. Even commercials like for that shampoo where the woman is moaning and screaming in a sexual manner.

Every commercial break during a football game seems to show a man having his disfunctional problem. Yet no one complains about that.

Just my opinion. But I think certain things are blown up to the point where people are writing the FCC and ABC, over a woman showing her back. It just seems silly.

These same children watch South Park or the Chapelle show with every innuendo imaginable. Yet these same parents dont even acknowledge the things going on in these shows.

Couldn't agree more. And A LOT of those videos are on during the middle of the day or earlier but don't seem to draw as much attention.

That or the commercials about feminine hygiene that seem to run nonstop.

Exactly. With so much wrong in the world, I can't believe that little skit draws so much attention.
