Oh boy...another bout of feigned "outrage" like in the JJ mess. Hell,tune in the bachelor,you'll ten times the skin you see in that little skit. No wonder Stern is leaving and going to strictly Satellite Radio.

What about all the erectile disfunction ads the NFL has? They are teamed up with Levitra, right?

Would you rather have your kid ask about a naked woman or ask you "Daddy, whats erectile disfunction?"

I think EVERY show should be yanked off the public TV and put on Cable/Satellite TV. The ONLY thing that should be on regular TV are 24/7 Jesus freak TV shows. 24/7/365 of praising and worshiping imaginary magic people. Then all the psycho Christians can have a good time raising their little Jesus freak kids in front of the TV and will leave everyone else alone to watch what they want. But you know those motherfvckers still won't STFU. They'll find some other bullsh!t to bitch about.

Which reminds me, I need to pay a visit to my local street corner preacher to give him his weekly dose of harassment. For some reason they don't take kindly to me insulting their "Hippie on a Stick."

First time I've seen this clip after hearing about it nonstop. Good job for ABC on getting the free advertising for Desperate Housewives, and bad on the public for making such a big deal out of absolutely nothing.

Isn't the news coverage better used to highlight some holiday charity thing than this?

Tony Dungy thinks its racially offensive?? How in the HELL could you possibly find it racially offensive?

maybe he's a racist. I think the only reason people are making such a big deal over this is the interracial aspect. I thought we got over this hurdle already though. Makes you wonder if all the kooks got their knickers in a bunch over gay marriage this election year are gonna start trying to revert the country back to the 1960's.

I went looking for a thread on this hoping to find the scene and you guys didn't let me down!!! After watching it I can see why ABC released a statement about it, however I think they got the message wrong, I think it should have read, "Those of you that don't like it can KISS OUR A$$". This was funny; it wasn't anything like I thought it would be. I laughed my a$$ off when TO said ?awh, hell, the team is going to have to win this one with out me." Which the irony is, I wish he would have actually been in the locker room fornicating, because I killed me in fantasy football.

Don't get disheartened by some of the replies you will, no doubt, get from making that statement. There are some parents that have children they want to watch the game with, and not see nudity or sexual inuendos what-so-ever. VeggieFrog is 20yrs old now, so I don't have that problem anymore.

However OT, I will say... that although I think Will & Grace is one of the funniest shows I have ever seen, I think it is totally inappropriate for it to be shown at 6:00PM and again at 6:30PM dinnertime. There are just WAY to many blatant sexual references for that time of night.

:)

What "child" actually watches MNF and knows what the hell is going on or gives a crap?

Yep, exactly. Sounds to me that people are more scared of gays than they are of terrorists (as demo'd by the voting for morals crap).
