There are days when I m so disappointed by the human race. Today is one of those times. I can t believe how riled up people are getting over last night s Monday Night Football intro starring Terrell Owens and Nicolette Sheridan.
Why? Because we saw Sheridan s naked back? Because she openly flirted with T.
O.? Because (gasp) sex was implied?
To anyone who called ABC to complain about the inappropriateness of the opening segment - get a life. Isn t it enough that you just re-elected a right-wing facist to the office of the Presidency? Now you have to try and ruin the rest of our fun?
The segment itself was very funny - done in a tongue-in-cheek soap opera style, befitting the fact that it was spoofing/cross-promoting Desperate Housewives. My mother, who is over the age of 60, thought the bit was hysterical. She wasn t offended in the least, and she called me this morning to tell me how great she thought it was.
Doug Darroch, a writer from the Philadelphia Daily News who I ve never heard of until today, actually said the piece made Janet s Jackson s wardrobe malfunction seem like small potatoes. He then imitated a child watching the show, asking, Daddy, why is that woman not wearing any clothes? Please, give me a fucking break.
If you have a child who is up at 9:00 on a school night, then you should be concerned with not only the programs, but also the commericals they are exposed to. And if you need ABC s help with parenting your kids, then you re a retard who deserves to have your children taken away from you. There are days when I m so disappointed by the human race.
