As Harrah's Chester hosts Super Stakes Sunday with some of the top harness racing talent in North America, an ad created to promote the event has generated a ton of buzz by being deemed too lewd by broadcast standards. The network’s standards and practices department for Comcast used the words ‘obscene,’ ‘indecent,’ and ‘lewd’ to describe why they effectively banned it from air. The actual video of the ad has been pulled from U-Tube by the user.
One of the funnier comments made by a visitor at the Standardbred Canada site where this report appeared was this:
"On a more humorous note, the great Del Insko was correct: "The only thing that would surprise me (in harness racing) would be a naked broad at the finish line"
