We're living in a post-Nipplegate world -- and apparently it's only going to get worse. In case you haven't heard, Fox has already rejected a Super Bowl ad starring Mickey Rooney for Airborne, the natural cold remedy.
Why? Well, in the ad, the 84-year-old Rooney is in a sauna. Someone behind him coughs. He overreacts, jumps up, screams, heads for the door, and drops his towel. His bare bum is exposed for two seconds or so. Clearly scandalous.
Who doesn't want to see Mickey Rooney's bare behind? Turns out the Mickey Rooney commercial isn't the only new ad that's already ended up on the scrap heap. Page 2 has uncovered some of the others deemed too racy for the Super Bowl.

I could go my whole life without seeing Mickey Rooney's naked bum. And now, it looks like I can...

Reportedly when Mickey bends over to pick up the dropped towel, you get a clear look at Andy Rooney!

Ashlee Simpson should endorse a product for acid reflux.

Some progress. From JJ's nipple to Rooney's butt.

This one was pretty funny.
Product: Ashlee Simpson's album "Autobiography"
Celebrity: Ashlee Simpson
Commercial: In another attempt to prove that she can really sing,
Simpson is sitting by herself on a stool in an empty room.
She begins to sing a capella and the sound is downright
awful -- like a cross between a boiled kitten and Lou Ferrigno yelling at his father in "Pumping Iron."
(Network execs rejected this one because they were concerned millions of TV sets would spontaneously combust.)

ESPN needs to send its writers to comedy school. Those made-up commercial descriptions are L-A-M-E.

I'm sorry, but the prospect of Mickey Rooney's wrinkled butt being shown on TV is as good an argument for censorship as I've ever encountered.
To: cdbull23
Personally, I'm grateful.
Old butts are not pretty.
