Not only is the show gravely immoral, but looks quite cheesy as well...

The free market is a wonderful mechanism, isn't it?

So dont watch it....
with as many eyeballs as that show is getting right now, businesses would be stupid business-wise NOT to advertise on it.

I don't know the characters by their real names. Not much of a holylywood buff.
Is Eva the short one married to the rich guy who thinks he is gonna get a kid in the near future? Who is the redhead?

My wife and I watch and enjoy the show. It's on Suday night. Never disguised what it was.

sullying untold numbers of children doesn’t concern them much
Parents need to take responsibility for their own children and television sets. Advertisers and TV shows cannot be blamed for "sullying untold numbers of children".

I think it's one of the funniest shows on TV.

I've gotta start watching this show and see what all the hullabaloo is about. Hadn't given it much thought until all these boycotts started.
ABC has got to be loving the free advertising! Sunday nights, right? Setting a reminder now.

I like the scenery in that show. Buy a Playboy magazine. It should work as "scenery" replacement and it doesn't polute public air waves.

Are you advocating pornography?

I think that YUM! Brands has realized that Desperate Housewives has already Jumped the Shark, as they say. It will survive this season by being as noisily controversial as possible, but that will be the end of it. It is beginning to look like DH was designed from the git-go to be a "one-season wonder". YUM! Brands is smart to benefit from the initial hype, but to avoid the messy denouement...

Businesses can advertise on whatever they want. I don't care one way or the other. I don't watch most things on TV simply because they are plainly stupid.
