    It’s wonderful!

    Who knew that T.O. could act?

  2. Doug says:

    Sick Sick Sick

  3. John says:

    Looks good to me. What’s the problem with all those bleeding-heart, tight ass liberal conservatives? F um’……

  4. Alex says:

    People who are upset over this haven’t gotten laid in a long time. Anyway, these are athletes, screwing housewives is part of spring training. People who are offended by this crap should donate their genitalia to charity, it’s wasted on them.

  5. TC says:

    Our society is going down the toilet just like television – do you think its coincidence?

    Maybe people should turn their TV off at night and pick up a bible and read it once in a while. You may learn about becoming humble and appreciative of your life and your blessings that the Lord has provided instead of thinking the universe revolves around you and your sex life.

  6. Geroge Washington says:

    Hey TC. I guess you’ve never heard of something called the 1st Amendment. Last time I checked we can use our free will to practice any religion we want or no religion at all. If I’m going to take your advice and read the bible you need to take mine and get the stick out of your a$$.

  7. Ron says:

    What’s the big hubaloo? This is America.

  8. mike mccoy says:

    If ABC wanted promote their Desperate Housewifes show they should have had the hot chick with the dark hair, not some old broad with cottage cheese fat rolls.

  9. Dan says:

    I just think the whole thing is just fine! Has ANYONE seen the crap they pull on the soaps?

  10. TC says:

    Georgie – it was just a suggestion and you missed my point. I am just suggesting that too many people watch too much TV and what are we getting from it? Mostly Trash. There is some good stuff but I think we need to get out of the box – the TV box and read to our childern (doesn’t have to be the bible but it wouldn’t hurt) or talk to our spouse. It seems like everything evolves around SEX – have we become that shallow? Instant gratification seems to drive so many now – and being a tough guy like Georgie Porgie – insulting those you do not agree with the norm.

  11. Pip says:

    Don’t blame advertising for the fact that sex is everywhere. They merely go to what sells. If there is a so-called ‘moral majority’ in this country which dictates values and morals and what-not, then that same group is a bunch of hypocrytes for making sex a successful way to sell something. Don’t bitch about the status of things when you help to make it that way.

  12. Brad says:

    Who gives a crap! They did not show any T&A so who cares, these people need to get a life.

  13. TC says:

    I am not blaming advertising – I am blaming the freaks like you who buy their shit!

  14. Stilltrap says:

    I turned this on thinking that it was gonna be TERRIBLE…and it turned out to be tame. WHAT is all the fuss about?????

  15. NotaProblem says:

    I think it was pretty cool. If you put the video in slow motion. You will notice that she has on pink panties. She’s not naked!!!

  16. Pip says:

    Ah, clearly I’ve hit a nerve – so I’ll keep going. The point really was: we are ALL collectively responsible for sex being everywhere, since we all buy things which are sold using sex (make-up, cars, beer, clothing, whatever). Given that, I submit that we are not nearly as ‘moral’ a society as people like to pretend we are. We have to stop being false to ourselves before anything else can change.

  17. gmoney says:

    the arguments against this stuff or ludicrous… legislating morality, which is what the religious right, moral majority, FCC and ultimately the republican party are trying to do is simply assinine. i’m blown away that a split second of janet’s boob and some suggested nudity in this MNF clip are major news stories that reflect the “decay of society” when real issues like the economy, health care and the war in Iraq are virtually ignored. look @ the election… people voted based on abortion, gay marriage and “morals” when none of that affects their daily life. if sally gets knocked up and chooses to have an abortion, that has no effect on my life. if she & her significant other decide they want to pledge their love to each other ’til death do they part so they can share in the same rights that we “hetero” folk have, that has no effect on my life! but the fact that i haven’t had a raise in 2.5 years, while my health insurance has gone up over $110/month and gas is over $2 a gallon, plus my 401k is tanking and friends and loved ones are dying in Iraq – that… that has an effect on me.

  18. Hominum says:

    Sex sells because we ALL think about it. All the time. All of us. We all want to fuck. Alot. And the hypocrisy of our society on this subject is not simply nauseating – it’s pathological. It’s self-evident, even to the spelling challenged like myself.

  19. George says:

    Wow who cares man. It is actually kind of funny. Whoever takes offense to that should be hit in the head. The fcc is the most blasphemous and ridiculos source of government. When will America stop being so uptight and making a mockary of the constitution.

  20. MV says:

    As a strait, non-uptight person WITHOUT a stick up my butt, piss off all you sanctimonious pricks who want to try and censor everything because you think you know what’s best! MYOB!

  21. Jeremy says:

    The reaction to this is very indicative to what’s going on in our country today. It’s this swooping shift to conservativism that quite frankly sickens me. Nothing was shown in that commercial. Deal with it. I guarantee this kids see worse than that at school and at home. Censorship and over-conservativism ( I know that’s not a word) is tearing down the freedom that is supposed to be America.

  22. Dan G. says:

    I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT ALL THE FUSS IS ABOUT THERE
    ARE ALOT MORE PRVOCATIVE THINGS OUT THERE THAT OUR
    CHILDREN SEE AND NETWORKS HAVE NO PROBLEM RUNNING
    THEM AS LONG AS THIER CLIENTS ARE WILLING TO SHELL OUT
    BIG MONEY FOR THERE ADVERTISING. AS FAR AS DISNEY IS
    CONCERNED THE AGE BRACKET OF KIDS THEY ARE TRYING TO
    MARKET SHOULD BE IN BED BEFORE 9:00.

  23. Pete says:

    I thought it sucked.
    ABC is “Desperate� for ratings and it sucked anyway.
    If Terrel played as well as he acted, Philly would be in last place.
    Shut up and play football Terrel.
    The only thing that sucked more then the opening was the Dallas Cowboys.
    And I’m sick of Hank Williams Jr. screaming at me too…”Are you ready?”
    Shut up Hank.
    Too many graphics on the screen during the opening of every game explosions…and girls jumping around…they all suck.
    ABC sucks.
    Terrel’s acting sucks.
    Hank Williams Jr. sucks… well I’m sick of his song anyway, with the fireworks and flashing lights, enough already.
    They all suck.
    Time to re-tool ABC, time to re-tool.
    And Fox is worse!

  24. Mr. Mike says:

    The heighth of hypocrisy. It’s OK for scantily clad cheerleaders to get all kinds of air time, but a rather humorous vignette is slammed. I believe I can make up my own mind thank you. All the hoopla is just another example of the continuing de-evolution of the USA into the Christian Republic of America.

  25. LL says:

    It’s not a matter of good vs evil, it’s a war over which Network TV station can push the limits on just how much can be shown on the free tube.

    We live in a society where Network TV has now gone to “commit the crime, and ask for forgiveness later” and thats just exactly what has happened. ABC felt left out that during the Super Bowl Janet’ tit, clad with hardware was exposed and the only excuse that came from it was that she had a wardrobe malfunction, yeah right? That was planned more in advance than half the pregnancies in this country these days.

    While that opening scene may not have been (once again, appropriate for the younger crowd that watches these days) it wasnt anything different than what most kids witness in their own homes, except most dads arent dressed like TO, and I’m sure, have nearly a pound or more brains in their heads than TO.

    And for the record, Nicholette Sheridan can share my shower anytime, I repeat, anytime her house burns down.

    Live and let live people.

    Support the troops…………………………..

  26. Thom says:

    0.0

    …..I don’t get it. I’ve seen worse on Lever 2000 soap commercial with an implied naked lady snuggling with a baby and it’s 2000 parts.

    This is pathetic if it keeps up soon we wont be even allow to look at ourselves in the mirror naked.

  27. sarah says:

    what’s the big deal, I thought it was quite funny!! Here’s my complaint………………..people need to stop complaining!!! If you don’t like what you see, turn it off!!!!!
    TO needs acting lessons along w/ dance lessons!!

  28. Mike S says:

    The puritans in this country are becoming a serious problem…Please stop taking these easily offended right wing nut jobs so seriously…They are truly an embarrassment!!!! There is nothing offensive about this ad!!!

  29. Mike S says:

    gmoney speaks the truth!!!

    Stop the conservatives before it’s too late

  30. snake says:

    i guess nfl stands for no fun league. get a life and stop making a big thing out of nothing.

  31. Pat says:

    My comment is coming from a single christian parent with a pre-teen daughter who tries to monitor what she watches, where she goes and what she does. She and I have seen worse things on TV and she has been exposed to worse things in school. We happen to see Janet’s performance and my daughter spotted the jeweled boob before I did. And no, I didn’t approve of the so called “accident”. However, in this case I thought the commercial was FUNNY and people who DON’T have enough to do and overly critical took it out of context. I just got through reading a slogan for a t-shirt that said, “God wants spiritual fruit, not religious nuts.” I think this sums it up.

  32. Doogie Howser M.D. says:

    More! Censor the Censors!

  33. rezzer says:

    that was nothing,,, i mean come on now. if they can show that fat dude from nypd blue’s a$$ then they should be able to show that. well actually the hell with T.O. …..lets see Big Ben and Jenna Jameson together, along with the rest of the Steelers on MNF!!!!!!

  34. Diane says:

    I was highly entertained by the “Housewives” promo and was stunned by the outcry from the fanatical religious right. I’m a woman who believes in God, tries to live a life of faith, BUT I still have a sense of humor and can differentiate it when something is a spoof and when it’s smut! I thought it was hilarious, Nicolette Sheridan was just making fun of the “man eating” characters she’s played before, and I thought Teri Hatcher and Felicity Huffman were funny too. As a matter of fact, I think the whole show is hysterical and highly entertaining! If I HAD a garden, I’d want that hottie gardner “pruning my beds,” ya know? I think people need to lighten up, quit complaining and let’s worry about the important things in the world, like the war in Iraq, fixing the economy and fixing the disaster that is our health-care system! ‘Nuff said…..ciao!

  35. Tim says:

    Cute, funny promo. As a Bears fan, I send this out to Lovie Smith, who called it “almost pornographic”: Come on, man! Lighten up!

  36. Ringo S says:

    Bad taste ……. T. O. needs to play football not act, I guess he needed some kind of lift after the beating Pittsburg gave him

  37. Jakslap says:

    C’mon, are you kidding? Lighten up a bit–this is America! People bitchin’ about this and that…man! I can’t believe this country is made up of so many tight wads. If you’re offended by that, get a life. Really, I mean can’t you find better things to do than bitch about this? Just waiting around to find something that offends you…then you jump on it. You should be ashamed of yourselves. Losers.

  38. Wiz says:

    Damn…I was hoping to catch a nipple, or a crack…what a lame video. I agree that the burnett should have been the one they used.

  39. Ben says:

    I didn’t see anything in this that’s not already airing on other programs INCLUDING the daytime soaps. This had nothing in it that was any worse than some beer commercials I’ve seen…….and we ALL love those! What does disturb me is the concept of promoting desperate house”wives”….looks like another attack on marriage to me.

  40. Joe V says:

    Probably one of the best commercials ever,it should win the award for commercial of the year! I’ve seen alot more sexy scenes on daytime soaps! People that are complaining about this must be the same tight ass morons that voted for that mentally challenged idiot bush,NOW THAT’S OFFENSIVE! Oh and by the way, tony dumbgy should worry about the holes in his own defense before worrying about other holes!

  41. No Good says:

    It’s about respect for the game and the sport. Let’s play football, if you want to watch soaps, then watch them during the day.

  42. rock says:

    much ado about nothing

  43. db says:

    I was neither entertained nor offended by the ad. I actually think it was kind of dumb, but who cares! There are more important things to worry about. If you don’t like it, turn the channel.

  44. Sally says:

    It was a funny spoof, but not so appropriate for Monday Night football. It blurs the line between a sport and Hollywood. Let’s just keep it professional – too much glam.

  45. David says:

    T.O. had to do something to get his name in the papers since the STEEL CURTAIN shut him down and couldn’t do his stupid little birdie dance!

  46. Jack D. says:

    Good grief people, we’re having our butts shagged in Iraq, and an entire generation is being sacrificed over an illegal war that has and continues to tarnish our international reputation thru-out the world, we’ve somehow put a dangerous and clueless demogogue back in the white house for another 4 years, the economy is in a slo-motion taking that will ultimatly bring down our stock market in crushing debt, creationism is co-opting hard science in primary schooling which will render future American generations the equivalent of ignorant morons in the real world… which will also mean these future Americans will be too clueless to recognize dangers that science can reveal are real, (global warming anyone?) Our government is actively seeking ways to justify torture, degradement of the environment for the sake of industry profits and much more negative acts in our names… But all we regular folks can do is focus on a completely irrelevant promo for a T.V. show… A promo which incidentally didn’t expose a breast or buttock or any other supposed pornographic body part, good grief the woman had her back to us in the presumed ‘money shot’ and had panties on for cryin out loud… About the only thing this implied that could be construed as socially negative (by some, not me personally) is the idea that a white women might be sexually attracted to a black man, and as it turns out, this actually happens in the real world, so get over it. Black women sometimes go for white guys too, (who knew!). This WAS NOTHING compared to the abominations going on in the real world… I’ll grant that MNF’s opening is getting out of hand with the glitz and glamour thing… But this has more to do with clueless marketing heads at ABC who don’t really understand the astectics of football but do understand a marketing concept… They just can’t regognize the difference in a good one and a bad one… In any case, we as a nation have much bigger worries than this tripe. IF (for some people) it bothers you so much, just turn the damn channal and move on to something else to watch. And if you want to raise hell about something, write your congressperson and bitch about what our government is doing to our country and the rest of the world in our names………

  47. TC says:

    Jesus Christ is our saviour – believe in him and he will set you free!

  48. JW says:

    TC, your last statement might have meant a little more, except for your reaction to Brad’s comment on Nov. 17. I, too, am a Christian, but that little bit of senseless advertising did not offend me as much as your reaction did (coming from someone such as yourself who is promoting Bible reading and Jesus).

  49. spinninall4 says:

    ok, that commercial wasnt even that bad, umm the government wants to have a cow because of a lil spiff like that yet they dont mind the actual show of desperate housewives that EVERYONE in america seems to love. yeah i can see where people with little kids watching would feel a little un-easy having to explain that to their kids. and the whole role model crap, with the NFL but people get over it. it was harmless! in life u will learn that there are people who sit around and find every nit picky little thing to bitch about, and yet outside there is a lot more going on that it is way more important. i mean jeeze, people are spazzin over this yet its ok to have porn on the market, and its ok to have shows about murder and all that shit. Get real people. honestly. that commercial was funny, and harmless theres a lot of other things in the world to worry about, and a lot more important things to bitch about other than a commercial!!

  50. JT Himmelrick says:

    i do find this commecial very offensive, why, because “TO” is in it my god get someone who can act, and someone that uh has a good team like say the steelers!

  51. Denny says:

    I thought it was entertaining, I would have done the same thing. Wasn’t anything to get excited about.

  52. Anonymous says:

    there more skin in soap and lotion ads
    cmon !
    `Ghost

  53. Conservative Dude says:





    What? My last comment was bad Karma. Talk about liberal leftits censorship.

  54. kyle says:

    I WOULD TOTALLY DO NICOLETTE SHERIDAN SO DONT COMPLAIN!!!

  55. Zach says:

    I just happened on this page, and I had to laugh. Most of these people who added comments can only comprehend criticism of that tacky little ad as being from cristians, conservatives, puritans. Well, I’m not a christian (not any religion), and I sure as fvck didn’t vote for George W. Bush… but I think that video was cheesy poor taste. It’s not a big deal — it’s just brain dead, and I think they could’ve come up with something a little bit less like “Beavis and Butthead make a video”.

  56. adsfasd says:

    nice site

  57. Matt says:

    Sheesh… this is it…. that was not only tame but it was boring. If this is all we got to worry about in america is a lil sholder and bare back exposed then god must have blessed america cause I thought there was a lot worse going on out there in the world… I guess I can start leaving my doors unlocked now. worst thing that could happen is a naked blonde greets me in the restroom.
