WASHINGTON - Sure, the steamy introduction to ABC's "Monday Night Football" was titillating, showing the bare back of "Desperate Housewives" actress Nicollette Sheridan as she jumped into the arms of football player Terrell Owens.

But U.S. regulators ruled Monday the racy clip didn't violate federal indecency standards. In a unanimous decision, the five-member Federal Communications Commission said the segment "simply is not graphic or explicit enough to be indecent under our standard."

1. Whew!

After all these weeks, we have finally reached Closure.

I am so happy. I can, at long last, rest easy.

I guess I shouldn't expect Stern to be spanking any porn stars on TV any time soon, huh?

--p!

3. Of course it wasn't. How ridiculous.

I thought it was funny. Not as funny as the dickdance the Eagles did on the Cowgirls during the game but funny nonetheless.

4. First thought was, "what dirty act does MNF stand for"?

I spend too much time with you filthy democrats.

5. What was the real problem with the bit. Was it the "Black man, blond

women" thing? or was it the " there's sexual content here" or was it just another way for the Family for TV creeps to raise money. I'm sure some of those assholes are dropping to their knees praying for protection from the FCC ruling.
