What's the big deal about this MNF intro????

The problem is that there was no warning. Yes, there are racy shows on TV in the US...but people are aware of what is going to be shown beforehand. With this, you have 9 year old boys sitting down to watch the GAME with Dad and instead they are watching something completely different.

If that's prudish, you probably don't have children.

Should they have a disclaimer before every condom commercial? Every tampon commercial? Every erectile disfunction commercial?

The world is getting too regulated if you ask me

Much ado about nothing.
Those "Desperate Housewives" show has a lot more innuedo and skin, and those are promoted within the same game.

Plus, the random closeups of the cheerleaders on a regular basis in MNF games can prvoke the same questions from kids to parents about scantily clad women....and I see no furor every week about ABC showing cheerleaders.

You are out to lunch dis... period.

Have you even watched the commericals during MNF? 10x worse than a woman jumping into Terrel Owens arms. Lets see we can have scantily clad women in beer commericals, Viagra, Levertra ads, Herbals essences commericals, heck even the M&Ms commericals showing women in bras (which is way worse than a womans bare back).

THERE IS NO WARNING BEFORE THOSE ONES!

Do you let your kid goto the beach?
How about watching MTV?
How about letting them even look at CD covers in HMV?

Seriously I dont know how you can even justify this garbage, if you cared about your kid so much you wouldnt be watching MNF or you would be shielding his eyes during all of the commericals.

What part of "It wouldn't be an issue in my house" was so confusing for you? Or were you so eager to judge me that you couldn't take the time to read my next post in the thread?

here's the clip incase no one has seen it, got link off of doubleminor forums

Finally got to see it last night. Wow. Much ado about nothing. People need to lighten up.

[AFireInside]

People have waaaaaaaaaaay too much time on their hands. If you are worried about your children watching that, maybe they should be in bed by 4 every day. I honestly can't believe the crap people complain about these days.

I read your next post, but the fact that you would even post the first comment is stupid. I don't care if you are a Utah Mormon, if you were offended by that, you have issues with TV in general and you shouldn't even be watching MNF.

To even stick up for these people dis is stupid.

[BlackArcher101]

Here's a simple solution if you don't want your kids watching that stuff.

DON'T LET THEM WATCH TV

It's a win-win situation. Your kids don't see the "bad" programming, and TV isn't ruined for the rest of us. Growing up, I had quite a few friends who didn't have cable. They also grew up to be the "smarter" ones, but completely lacked street/common sense.

God forbid we let our children find out what sex is. Could you imagine what would happen?

[AvengeR]

The FCC is just on powertrip right now. That clip was no big deal. You see a woman's bare back all the time in shampoo or soap commercials.

I know my six-year-old son had a couple of questions as to what was wrong with the woman in the shampoo ad who was having a "truly organic experience."

And what was your answer to his question?

So true....I just watched this on some website to see what the fuss is all about...and I don't see what the fuss is all about...

its probably just the religious right in america back at their whining again....

Whoa. A little overboard on the attack I would say.

These people are entitled to their opinion as much as you are.


And I dont think the issue is about a womans bare back. If you watch the promo and listened to the dialogue, I think you would be able to figure that out.

Regardless, it offended some people who did not expect to see a sexual inuendo opening to a football game.

Right or wrong its their opinion. Leave it at that.

[CaramonLS]

I watched the promo when it first ran because I was watching MNF at the time.

Now the reason it didn't even cross my mind that that would offend and I am p*ssed off that it did offend anyone watching MNF is because:

a) They play much much worse commericals in sexual inuendo department during the commerical breaks... there is no warning there... Whether its a woman having an orgasim using Herbal essences, talking about erections, or beer commericals - they are about 100x worse.

B) "lets get another low angle shot of that cheerleader or chick in attendence with huge knockers."

c) you are watching a violent sporting event. If you have a problem with a small reference to sex over the course of less than a minute vs. watching people try to knock other peoples heads off, you probably have issues.

If you are offended by any of the above material, you shouldn't have been watching MNF period. If you were watching tree house with your Kid dis, you may have a point, otherwise enough is enough. Go complain about something else on the air.

The reason people are playing the race card is for the above reasons, a lot of people agree that the whole sexual inuendo issue is stupid since there are much worse commericals and moments in MNF that are way worse for kids to see and that happens every single week.

[Displaced Flames fan]

and you are still incapable of understanding my stance on it. What a surprise.

Again...for the third time now....it would not be an issue in my house. How many times will you suggest that I was offended?

and for the record....and since you introduced the verbage.....I would say suggesting that commercials during that program are 100X worse than that lead in is kind of stupid. 100 X worse? That's a pretty fair exaggeration.

C'mon dis, you were offering possible reasonings as to how others could be offended by it. You were obviously offended

I know its a non-issue for you dis, you are just acting like a pompus ######bag.

[FlamesAddiction]

It's funny how something like this is considered offensive, yet kids are constantly bombarded with sexual inuendo all the time. Turn on MTV or MM any time, and you can watch Britney Spears grind and moan half naked on stage about being a "slave" for crying out load. Not that I care really, but it's just wierd how people pick and choose what is and is not acceptable in this regard. Where's the logic?
