Lessons in PR Is it just me, or does it seem that a number of companies have made potential Super Bowl ads so that they just end up "pulling" them so that they get press for "realizing" that in the Post-Janet Boob Era that they need to be more "sensitive? Th...

I think it's rediculas not to accept a super bowl ad that shows Mickey Rooney's backside now it's geting out of hand. I support NFL football but TV and FCC are just not right i know i will be buying super bowl tickets and attending the game no matter what and where the super bowl game be played.

A response to Clarence Dodds' post. FOX is the same network that brought you shows like "Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire?" and "Who's Your Daddy?" Moral standards are the only thing NOT found at FOX.

I wish to thank FOX Network for refusing to air this add on national TV. It's good to see someone out there has moral values and not just out for the all mightly dollar.

I think that it's disgusting for owners or manafacturing companys to use sex,nudity and filthy langauge to try and promote thier products. I know that I'll turn the chanel just as soon as your add comes on and for sure that I will not buy your products. I pray that if you are allowed to show that comercial on tv that the FCC slaps a multi millon dollar fine on you. There is to much smut & trash allowed already for young children to see; no wonder theres so many young kids in trouble nowdays.

If you or I exposed our bare backsides in public, we would be arrested for indecent exposure, and if we did it where we know children would see it, we would also be charged with a form of child molestation. What gives Rooney the right to do what we can't do? Celeb status? Big ad revenues? Freedom of speech does not equal freedom of cheeks. What a shame that Rooney, whose entire career was based on wholesomeness, would whore himself for some attention and a few bucks. Pathetic pervo. The cold remedy Airborne is trying to hawk a remedy for a malady that is primarily one of the nose. Who thought it would be a great idea to associate their customers' nose with an 84-year-old man's butt? Hmm. The only things I would be motivated to spend money on after witnessing such a sight are a chuck bucket, psychological services, and pencils with which to gouge out my own eyes. Mickey says we deserve to see it. What horrible crime did we commit to deserve that? Mickey R., save it for Michael J.

Please, gentlemen. Why should I look at a supermodel's backside when God has given us women's volleyball? (scroll down) -M PS: I will grant you, they can be much thinner; but they're healthy.

Fox Rejects Mickey Rooney's Butt for Super Bowl Ad Canned: Fox rejects Rooney Super Bowl ad (ESPN) Nicollette Sheridan's back before Monday Night Football: yes, though even that pregame spot sparked apologies galore. Mickey Rooney's backside in a Super Bowl ad: no. Especially not after Janet Jackson...

Just the same, itâs funny how we assign different values to an old manâs ass, versus a babyâs, versus a supermodelâs. (Alhtough i have great preference for the former) I'd kind of prefer the supermodel's, but that's just me. And I wouldn't want any of them on broadcast television.

I really don't want to see any old man's ass while I'm eating my nachos. Just the same, it's funny how we assign different values to an old man's ass, versus a baby's, versus a supermodel's. (Alhtough i have great preference for the former) I don't know which is worse, that some see it as a big deal, or that some use it to promote a product totally unrelated- for the shock effect. So many hangups...

You have much too high an opinion of the public.
