Desperate Monday Night Football
I didn’t see the game, but I have heard the hype about the opener, a joint venture between Terrell Owens and ABC. I think FCC chair Michael Powell needs to take a cold shower and calm down. And get someone else to write his remarks for him (”What would
Walt Disney think?” c’mon!).
My favorite part is this bit from the NFL:
The NFL called the saucy intro “inappropriate and unsuitable for our Monday Night Football audience.”
I don’t think there is really any need to respond that particular quote.
As for the “situation” as a whole - if it bothers you, turn off the television. If you children see it and ask questions, turn it off and answer them honestly. The world is a big, messly place, people - it is far better to learn to deal with it than to run crying to the FCC, your mom, or whomever you usually run crying to.
