Fox Sports World and Inappropriate Commercials

Rob, I was wondering if you had talked to FSW about this issue, and wanted to relay my thoughts and observations.
After I saw those THREE inappropriate commercials during the footy A-to-Z show on Grand Finals night (actually, after I fast-forwarded past the two Girls Gone Wild and one We're 18 girls or whatever it's called), I got so disgusted with FSW that I turned off the tape and never did watch the Grand Final. (Only through AFANA do I know how it turned out.) I love footy, but there comes a certain point where you have to stand up for what you believe. Rob, if you have any more discussions with the AFL or FSW, please feel free to indicate that their inappropriate commercials succeeded in turning off at least one otherwise die-hard footy fan.
OTOH, I have been very happy with FSW's presentation of rugby events. The NRL Grand Final, although broadcast live at 3:30 AM, had absolutely no inappropriate commercials. Likewise, I have seen about half of the rugby union world cup and have seen no inappropriate commercials.
Is it just the AFL they single out? And is there anything we can do? I have already sent an email to Fox Sports about the issue (forgot to cc you Rob, sorry).
+ gary
