Gabby Douglas & The Monkey Commercial
I know NBC says their ad placement of Animal Practice was inadvertent and apologized for showing a monkey doing gymnastics immediately after Gabby Douglas won the gold medal. I am not sure I believe them. They just made a very quick and terse apology and said that was sufficient. I think they wanted to generate some controversy so people would actually watch that show. It does not matter when they showed the ad, Gabby Douglas was expected to win gold or silver in the all around and that has been known for months and months. Why would you even agree to film a monkey doing gymnastics when you know that Gabby was going to be competing?
