ABC must have read my previous blog on the idea of juicing up the aura around foolsball. Apparently before the Monday night game they aired a clip promoting their new show, Desparate Housewives, by showing a naked babe jumpimg into the arms of a player. Of course, to the chagrin of every hot blooded male in America, doped up on Levitra the babe was only shown from the waist up and from the rear. But the new minority morality quickly showed their new found mandate. ABC got the calls for indecency and of course our choir boy FCC head has gone on record as being "disappointed" for the lack of judgement by ABC. Interestingly, he hasn't said anything about the show this clip was promoting. But get this, one of the coaches spewed a couple of brain burps. First, he found the clip racially offensive. WTF. A white, blond babe seductively jumping into the arms of a black athlete. Wow, that's got a multitude of stereotypes working for it. I wonder which one pulled his ultra sensitive hair trigger insult meter. Shouldn't the blondes be speaking up. How about Caucasian, Hispanic and other race athletes - seems like they've all been slighted. Second, he was aghast that a foolsball player was being portrayed as someone who might, for an instant, think of something other than the GAME. WAAAAAAP. WAAAAAAP. That was a double reality check biatch slap. Butt boys, let me repeat myself. IT'S ONLY A GAME. YOU'RE ENTERTAINMENT. NOTHING MORE AND MANY TIMES LESS. IT'S EITHER WATCHING YOU BEAT EACH OTHER'S ASSES SILLY OR VISITING A WWW PORN SITE. FACE REALTY. The reaction is perpetuating a stereotype that crosses gender, babe hair color, genitalia size and racial boundaries. Just more evidence that juiced up jocks and dense synapse connections don't cohabitate.
Two things for sure. I'll be watching the next Monday Night pregame show and tuning in for Desparate Housewives. Of course, only after I gitta cold beer.
