Terrel Owens, Nicolette Sheridan, and ABC

Personally i thought it was a cheesey intro, just trying to push a show not too many people are watching...though it was kinda funny.
But of course, people are angry about everything, and have to bitch about everything.
First of all, parents were complaining that it was inappropriate for children to see. Okay, its a parents responsibility to govern what their children watch. Second on this point, there was no nudity, all innuendo, lord help a parent who ends up having to explain adult relations to their children...thats the job of their pop idols like Brittany Spears or R Kelly.
Second, womens groups blasted it for being sexist. Won't even get into this one as I'm sure my opinion of the women who make up these groups will cause alot of friction.
Third, people like Tony Dungy were offended because they called it racially embarrassing...!!??????? WTF, how could this be racially embarrassing? First, I thought Tony Dungy had his personality surgically removed at birth, seriously, you could replace Tony with a cardboard cutout and no one would notice. I almost feel sorry for people that still play the race card...again, nuff said there.
Last I want to bring up something I haven't heard mentioned anywhere yet, and this is the most surprising to me. There was inuendo, there was no sex, no bad language, and most disappointingly, we didn't get to see any of Nicolette, so how was the intro any worse than any beer or alcohol commercial shown all day everyday without mention. Seriously people, these commercials are one step from "Girls Gone Wild", and if you believe them, then by drinking their product, or wearing their pants....even I could get lucky with an early to mid 20's hottie.....but I guess the difference is that that intro isn't paid for by a sponsor who pumps millions into both ABC and the NFL.
Hypocrites aren't we all
