Dodge cancels their Lingerie Bowl half time show scheduled to air during the Super Bowl, due to the controversy it has generated.

  • The original Monkey post on this topic generated mostly positive comments, but I'm glad to see they've cancelled it.
  • The initial plan for the models to wear underwear changed in recent weeks to shorts and sports bras. *yawn*
  • Call me square and uptight, but I'm glad too.
  • Kimberly, you're square and uptight. Anything else I can do for you? =)
  • [ all replies had to be deleted because they may incriminate me ]
  • I'd like to see the Fab Five take on the Jackson Five in a Grudge Match Half-Time. (yes, Mikey can play for both teams...)
  • Britney vs. Steven Tyler in the 3 knock-down cage match over a pit of petulant goth teens. Hell yeah!
  • peteb--read that really fast and it sounds like a special entree at the Olive garden.
  • sigh. i STILL think the world would be a much happier place if everyone got into sexy lingerie.
  • SideDish: from now on, why don't we just imagine that everyone at MoFi is wearing lingerie? Will that help?
  • Monkeys on lingerie?? I think we had enough righteous indignation. Bring on the lingerie!
  • From the linked article: "The original promotion called for a group of lingerie-clad models to go through the motions of a seven-on-seven tackle football game as part of a pay-for-view program..." (emphasis mine) People...'pay-per-view' means only people who want to watch it will watch it. Where's the controversy? Viewers can watch hard-core porn during the half-time show if they want to. I'm sure a few prudish lobby groups are celebrating this as a success, but what has changed, really?
  • My VISA balance, for one thing---what am I gonna do with all this Belgian lace? And I told you I'm high-waisted.
  • If only they knew about the wardrobe malfunctions of the future...
