I'm guessing she means "Couch potato...potato sacks..." get it?

I haven't read everyone's posts but I'm not at all bothered by "sexy" video covers. There are some I wouldn't leave out for my daughters to see, like the Lotte Berk covers or Janis's stuff, but that's only because I don't want to put that sexual emphasis on my children at such a young age. The only thing that bothers me about Ana Brett's choice of attire is that I feel her outfits don't look all that comfortable. In a nutshell, I wouldn't hesitate to buy a workout, regardless of the cover, if I knew the content was good.

We are definitely becoming more culturally interchangeable (love that term!), but I think it's fair to say that Australians are generally more easygoing about nudity, sexuality and dress. The recent thread about "Is sleeveless sexy?" boggled my mind slightly - down here, bare arms just wouldn't cause any comment.

Gosh I feel like I must be the worst mom ever. I have the Exhale DVDs and my kids (8, 11, and 17) have seen them. My daughter thought the girls workout panties were cute and so did I (she's 11) and I never thought twice about a cover before...probably still won't LOL.
