MNF too sexy for NFL?

C'mon, you mean to tell me that families with kids watching football on TV - grunts hitting each other really hard - and people are complaining about too sexy an introduction? I listed to Howard Stern this morning and when he mentioned this, I thought, how true, what a big deal. Ah, the hypcrites, gotta love 'em.

I sometimes wonder just how "mainstream" these Puritanical people are. I mean, if we're such a nation of prudes, then how come 'Desperate Housewives' is doing so well in the TV ratings? Maybe the shows' audiences are mutually exclusive enough that even a little teasing cross-pollination sent the sex-crazy football fans into a frenzy...

Which brings us back to the question at hand. I think the football-worshipping people of this country like to repress and channel their sexuality into "acceptable" displays of sex, such as cheerleaders, bikini-clad beer girls, and Hooters waitresses. Anything that challenges or tries to broaden their sexual expression is met with resistance, because these people are among the most threatened by change.

Then again, maybe they just don't like to be made horny while watching a game with big, beefy men in tight pants rolling around on the grass and patting each other on the ass. Or maybe they don't like jungle fever. I dunno.

We can see scantily-clad cheerleaders, but we CANNOT see scantily-clad Nicolette Sheridan before the game comes on. Hypocrites as always!!!
