I saw the ad for Lane Bryant. She was stunning and the commercial was tastful. I wouldn’t even call her overweight, she had curves and -yes- cleavage but showed less skin than a Victoria Secret model or even the women on DWTS.
Yeah, I saw the ad, too. I didn’t think it was any different than a Victoria’s Secret ad and it looked a lot better than some of those Dancing with the Stars outfits!
Show a half-dressed woman on TV who weighs more than 90 lbs! Blasphemy!
A Day Man film would actually make my life. Only someone would have to make it legible because, uh, Charlie’s illiterate.
I vote that Bono should sing the theme song (DAYMAN! Ohhaaaahhaaaaa! Fighter of the Night Man!). Obviously Rob Thomas can’t sing it and Sinbad can’t be in it.
Updated version of Looney Toons? I’d rather see more of the old episodes.
shame on abc & fox for their double standard
Kate Ward is right…..have the execs seen Pam Anderson’s cleavage? Talk about ample and exposed.
