'Two And A Half Men'
UPDATE!
Kathleen Waugh, VP of corporate communications for Toys 'R' Us, contacted OMM and said they do not plan on advertising during this program again in the future. We have thanked them on your behalf. Their email addresses have been removed from this issue so please continue to send your email letters to Apple (Mac) and hopefully we will hear back from them as well. We are making a HUGE difference!

"Two and a Half Men" has always been a program with questionable content. Most parents agree this show is highly offensive and would like to see it off the air. OMM was especially concerned when this week's episode aired the two men whom are brothers in a 3-some with a total stranger they met at a bar. Keep in mind this program airs on CBS at 8:00/7:00 central.
The sitcom starts off with the family discussing Charlie Sheen's character being engaged and actually setting a wedding date. He is extremely concerned about the expense of the wedding and then his housekeeper reminds him how much money he has spent on "wh*r*s" and he agrees.
Followed by his teen nephew discussing how many women his uncle has slept with to Charlie's fiancée. He stated over 1,000 and his fiancée is not shocked at all by his accurate guess. His nephew also said, "One woman had a concealed weapon and you would not believe where she hid it!"
Stressed over setting a wedding date, Charlie and his brother go to a bar, get drunk and find themselves in a strange women's bed together. The three are shown in bed to portray a 3-some. And the two men sneak out before the mystery woman wakes up wearing each other's underwear.
The following morning they have flashbacks of their s*xual escapade. Sheen ends up lying to his fiancée after cheating as if it never happened since he doesn't have any recollection of the act itself.
This episode ended with the grandmother discussing cheating on her ex-husband when a circus group came into town and is vague with how many men, but she does tell exactly where she had to remove sequins from.
"Two and a Half Men" is following a trend to desensitize America, including children, to recognizing 3-somes as normal, casual fun or a simple accident. This irresponsible behavior is horrendous and dangerous to society and anyone who views these actions.
This "comedy" is not funny and not OK. No excuses!
TAKE ACTION
Please send Apple Inc.(Mac) an email letter urging them to no longer sponsor "Two and a Half Men." Hopefully with Christmas around the corner they will decide to no longer support this disgusting program.
NOTE: If you see a commercial or program which is offensive, email us the information.
Many of you have done this, and it is very helpful.
