The FCC has already moved to review video of the semi-naughty Monday Night Football/Desperate Housewives promo with the light-speed that makes us believe that the government nanny state can work—when they think they're going to catch a glimpse of Nicollette Sheridan's nipples and follow up a quick self-abuse session with some conscience-cleansing fines. Unfortunately for FCC Chairman Michael Powell, the best he's going to get out of this is some hott, towel-dropping, *implied* nudity and the suggestion that a football player is getting very laid before strapping on his helmet. That should be worth about a $500K wrist-slapping for ABC, don't you think? You know, once Powell's completely done "reviewing the evidence."
