pogo's loss of innocence

have you seen the new pizza hut commercial?

javed jaffrey in his salaam namaste role would have been hilarious, just not on pogo. (pogo is a tiny kids tv network, but you would never guess, if you saw the ad).

still sporting his bihari accent "we will give you the sweet mammaries (memories)" cut to a strappy low necklined mom eating choc fudge (?) ".... and the sax..." cut to a saxophonist, but there is no fooling anyone what JJ meant.... and it goes on. the innuendos are severe, blatant and the accent completely out of line on a toddler/primary school kid network like pogo. come to think of it, pizza hut has been risque of late... even with its "wanna get fresh?" line for the freshizza.

anyways, this latest jj ad wouldn't have made the cut on network tv in the US and certainly not on nickelodeon. now if only it had not "the aired on the pogo, it was the screaming fony ed."
sorry?
