Lately in my marketing class my professor has been talking about this commercial. He showed it one day in class but unfortunately I was late. But he says it is rumored that ABC already had an apology ready when they created this commercial. So basically they were doing it to create some more buzz around Desperate Housewives. My professor also said that she wasn't naked in front of the football player, she actually had a halter top on but they airbrushed it out in editing. I can understand why parents would be so upset about that being shown during primetime and while most children are awake. But really it's not that big of a deal to me. Barbie's have bare backs, GI Joe's have bare backs, and SpongeBob square pants is sometimes missing pants. Kids are gonna see some parts of the human body. Unless it is was a breast, penis, vagina, or human ass. I really don't see the big deal. But I am not a parent so of course I may not understand.
