Yeah, maybe I'm not jaded enough yet, but I don't think the networks were avoiding the commercials because of the models' size. I mean, I remember a few years ago when NBC (I think) pulled a Pepsi ad to be shown during the World Series because it showed a black man pretending to get oral sex from a fisherman. I didn't think the ad was anti-fisherman. I just knew that NBC was filled with racists.
