Last week, there was an incident regarding a promotional piece for ABC’s Desperate Housewives before Monday night football.
If you’ve never seen it, the clip was a parody of the show Desperate
Housewives. Nicolete Sheridan appears wrapped in a towel and beckons
the player to skip his game for her. Although no nudity is shown, it is
implied when Sheridan drops the towel to the floor and jumps into
Owens’s arms. Now go back to the part where I write “no nudity is
shown” and wonder what the problem is. The skit wasn’t even worthy
compared to “SKINemax” as they only show the naked back of a
woman. Not even a shot of the butt for cryin out loud! If
something like that is considered inappropriate, then there’s A LOT of
things on public broadcast that’s MUCH worse than that. Where does it
end?Put it this way as well. After the incident happened, you want to guess
what every news show did? Why, they showed the whole clip uncut in
their news program, over and over again. Should we complain to those
news stations for showing such a “vulgar” scene on national TV?This country is simply going INSANE!!!
