I think the best point about this was made on the Daily show last night.
Why is it wrong for MNF to show that but it's OK for the beer commercials and such to show everything they show.
Kind of a double standard.

I never saw the commercial but heard about the details.
I would allow the commercial because I’m a little more tolerant. But they were stupid for airing it IMHO... especially this close to the Janet Jackson incident.
They could get away with this type of commercial during Sex In the City reruns at 10-11pm but not during Monday Night Football at 6pm. It's an entirely different audience as far as I’m concerned.

we've always been such a puritanical country. Europe looks at us and goes "errr....what the hell is all the fuss about?". Pretty sad.

I have nothing against a good "twins" beer commercial but I could honestly do without the commercial knowing my top ten preferred beers.
You have to look at it in that sense I think...
If someone developed a encrypted commercial code blocker for every commercial on a scale of 1 to 5 (1 being Bambi and a 5 being nudity) with a 30second delay, they'd be an overnight millionaire.

It's because you know what you're getting into when you watch the show and can take appropriate action to put the kids to sleep etc.
My and my freinds were playing GTA this weekend, and laughing because you could kill cops, run people over with combines, carjack, etc. But dear god, there is no nudity in it!
We're beating a dead horse here, but for some reason we are cool with death and violence, but not a bare breast.
It makes us collectivley look like idiots.

Gottcha...
Half-naked pretty girl = bad.
A couple hours of a dozen linebackers beating the living hell out of eachother interspersed with the occasional *** patting and ads for feminine hygene products and erectile dysfunction drugs = perfectly okay.
