We have already contacted sister network ABC Family concerning the new show "The Fosters," and now we need to let ABC know of our disapproval of their newest program "Mistresses." The title says it all. Like a revamped "Desperate Housewives," four friends get themselves tangled in a web of lies and hurt the ones they love. "Mistresses" series premiere is scheduled for Monday, June 3, at 10:00 p.m. ET/9:00 CT.

The tagline for the program is: "Attraction. Passion. Deception. I can't help it." Advertisements mention "Endless possibilities," "Thirteen weeks of seduction" and "Who have you been doing?" One character even gets involved with another woman. A show full of adultery, cheating and lies is the last influence our society needs. Even though the program airs a little later in the evening, it is not late enough since the bedroom scenes are completely soft p*rn. (An asterisk is used to ensure our emails get through to those who have signed up to receive our alerts. Otherwise referencing specific words would cause our emails to be blocked by some internet filters.)

One Million Moms will be as persistent as we were with ABC's "Good Christian Belles" in asking sponsors to pull their financial support. We had proof this works when "GCB" was canceled after only one season.                                                                                                             

Hollywood is continuing to push casual s*x as acceptable when Scripture states clearly it is a sin. As Christians, the Bible also says that we must speak up against sin. If we remain silent, we are accepting it and are guilty of sin also. One Million Moms is determined to clean up broadcast airwaves.

Take Action

Please send your email to oppose the new show "Mistresses" and strongly encourage ABC to drop all plans to air this program.

Let ABC know you will not be watching "Mistresses" and that your family plans to avoid the network all together so there will be no chance of viewing a commercial that promotes this vulgar program earlier in the evening.

Let them also know you are prepared to join thousands of other voices in urging advertisers to place it on their "do not advertise" list.

June 1 Gay Pride Day at Disney <p>Please click on the following link to send your email to Disney's CEO and other Disney officials urging the park to no longer "go along" with Gay Day. Disney should monitor this day and event for public displays of affection and require proper conduct and appropriate attire. This should always be policed, but especially on Gay Day.</p> As soon as school lets out at the end of May, many families will plan to take their family vacation right away. Tens of thousands will make reservations in Orlando, Florida, for the first weekend in June. Warning! Not everyone there will be excited, innocent children anticipating a fun weekend at Disney World. The first Saturday in June, homosexuals, bisexuals and transvestites will be at the Magic Kingdom with an agenda and purpose different than what would be expected at Disney.

Homosexuals will be celebrating the 23rd anniversary of Gay Day wearing matching Gay Day merchandise, such as T-shirts. There will also be transvestites dressed in drag showing their support for the event. This event is planned with the intent to expose and desensitize children to this lifestyle by same-sex couples holding hands, hugging and kissing. In short, a Gay Day participant's main goal is to be seen versus seeing Disney World.

In past years when we have contacted Disney representatives about this same issue, their response was simply that they do not sponsor this event.

On June 1, unsuspecting families will witness a well-orchestrated event that Disney says they have no control over. Disney has taken no action to stop this, which leaves families stunned and offended. So instead of a normal day at this popular theme park, parents will be angry at the harm this causes families.

Disney has been irresponsible for far too long. Disney representatives and security need to maintain a family-friendly atmosphere and require proper conduct and dress code on a daily basis.

Parents who have already made travel plans to be in Orlando during this time should make arrangements to visit a park other than the Magic Kingdom on Saturday, June 1.

Philips Norelco's Crude Ad <p>Please send Philips Norelco an email letter requesting they cancel their new "body grooming" commercial immediately!</p> Norelco's new ad crosses a line of decency.

The new Norelco commercial goes beyond a close facial shave to body grooming well below the chest and back. This commercial went WAY TOO FAR! During the commercial, it shows a man trimming hair in different areas of his body. Toward the end, it shows him standing with his boxer shorts down with hair falling to the floor as he uses the hair trimmer. It is implied that he is shaving in his private area. The dialogue in the ad is equally offensive. "I'd wink at me; I'd hug me," he says. Then he looks in the mirror, admires himself, and says, "I'd F*** me." The F-word is bleeped out. But then they display their website, www.IdFAQme.com. This is clearly a play on the F-word.

After receiving complaints on its Facebook page, Philips Norelco replied by posting:

"To our fans: The goal of our community is to talk about guys' shaving and grooming needs. Lately we've received some comments that our new TV ad doesn't resonate with everybody. We wanted to take a moment to let you know that we've heard the feedback. In response we're going to run the TV ads later in the evening beginning this weekend. In the meantime, we look forward to getting back to what we do best, talking about men's shaving and grooming!"

The excuse Philips Norelco gave by phone was equally dismissive, saying, "We are trying to reach a certain audience and would pass along these concerns."

Their response isn't good enough.  The ad shouldn't run at any time. It is not only inappropriate for children; it is offensive to adults also. The company's response to people's concerns is in poor taste. They are basically saying that they don't care, and they are going to run the commercial anyway. That just doesn't cut it.

Take Action

Please send Philips Norelco an email letter requesting they cancel their new "body grooming" commercial immediately!

Take it a step further:

1. Facebook users -Copy and post this message to your Facebook page and encourage others to take action!

Kmart is attracting the wrong kind of attention <p>Please send Kmart an email letter requesting they cancel their new "Ship my pants" commercial immediately!</p> Kmart (Sears Brands, LLC) has a new commercial where the whole ad is based on the slogan "I shipped my pants." This double entendre of the s-word is repeated over and over again.

The entire commercial's dialogue has various people saying ship or shipped instead of the s-word, including a family, a child, a Kmart employee, a senior citizen couple and other customers shopping in the store.

Normally, we do not provide a link since One Million Moms does not want to contribute to this filth being spread around even more, but we made an exception this time to show how ridiculous and disgusting this ad really is. The link to the commercial is provided here for reference only so you will have the information you need to voice your concern.

We have also provided the text here if you would rather not watch the video clip:

"Ship my pants, right here. You're kidding! Ship my pants. You can ship your pants right here. Did you hear that? I can ship my pants for free. Whoa! I just may ship my pants. Yes, ship your pants. Billy, you can ship your pants too. I can't wait to ship my pants Dad. I just shipped my pants, and it is very convenient. Very convenient. I just shipped my drawers. I just shipped my nightie. I just shipped my bed!"

Kmart should be more responsible in their marketing decisions. Let them know that as a parent and a consumer you are offended.

Take Action

Please send Kmart an email letter requesting they cancel their new "Ship my pants" commercial immediately!

Take it a step further:

1. Facebook users - Copy and post this message to your Facebook page and encourage others to take action!

FCC set to drop ban on f-word and nudity <h3><strong>They are seeking public comments; make your voice count! Submit your comments to the FCC, urging it to reject any changes to the current policy.</strong></h3> The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced it is considering dropping current broadcast decency standards that ban explicit profanity and "non-sexual" nudity.

You can read the press release from the FCC here.

Specifically, if enacted, the new FCC policy would allow network television and local radio stations to air the f-word, the s-word and to allow programs to show frontal female nudity, even during hours when they know children will be watching and listening.

It is accepting comments on the proposal from the viewing public until the end of April.

Current broadcast decency law prohibits expletives and nudity, even if brief or "fleeting." The Supreme Court has upheld the law as constitutionally enforceable by the FCC, despite lawsuit attempts by networks NBC and FOX to overturn it.

TAKE ACTION

Submit your comments to the FCC, urging it to reject any changes to the current policy.

The FCC will not accept general email comments. To be valid, you are required to file a formal comment via the FCC's website.

Please follow these instruction carefully, to insure your comment is accepted by the FCC:

1. Go to http://apps.fcc.gov/ecfs/upload/begin?procName=&filedFrom=X.
2. Enter the code "13-86" in the "Proceeding Number" box and fill out the few remaining required fields.
3. Enter your comment in the text box provided and click "Continue."
4. From there, review your comment and click "Confirm."

Here is a sample comment you may submit:

I oppose any changes to the current FCC indecency standards that would allow television and radio stations to broadcast expletives and nudity on the public airwaves, even if brief or "fleeting."

The Supreme Court has confirmed the FCC's authority to enforce policies regarding expletives and nudity, especially during times when children are likely to be watching or listening.

Relaxing the current policy would not serve the public interest and I urge the FCC to reject all proposals that would allow for the broadcast of expletives and nudity on FCC-licensed stations.

The Secret is Out- VS is After Young Girls <p>Send Victoria's Secret an email letter urging they pull their "Bright Young Things" line immediately!</p> Controversy is nothing new for Victoria's Secret. One Million Moms has alerted parents concerning their televised fashion show so families can avoid the network during the times it airs. Parents also avoid certain parts of malls so their families will not be subjected to the soft porn displayed in the storefront windows of Victoria's Secret. Now Victoria's Secret has gone too far.

Victoria's Secret is currently targeting teens with a lingerie line called "Bright Young Things," part of their Pink collection. The line has an array of panties, from a lace trimmed thong with "Call Me" or "I DARE YOU" on the front, to underwear with the word "Wild" on it and green-and-white polka-dot hipsters reading "Feeling Lucky?" on the back.

Victoria's Secret's new teen-themed undies line sexualizes young girls. Shame on them! Victoria's Secret has been trying for years -and succeeding- to persuade younger and younger girls to purchase their sexy line of clothing.

Despite the argument that they only market to eighteen-years-old and up... we know better. Stuart Burgdoerfer, CFO Limited Brands (Parent Company of Victoria's Secret), said, "They want to be older, and they want to be cool like the girl in college, and that's part of the magic." If this disgusts you, please let Victoria's Secret know!

TAKE ACTION

Send Victoria's Secret an email letter urging they pull their "Bright Young Things" line immediately! You may also call 24 hours a day, 7 days per week:

Sales: (800) 888-8200

Customer Care: (800) 411-5116

'Preachers' Daughters' Sponsors are Listening <p>Please send an email letter to the sponsors of this week's "Preachers' Daughters." This week's national sponsors were: Shoe Carnival, Oxi Clean (Church &amp; Dwight Co.), Remax, and Geico.</p> Keep up the great work! All of the sponsors One Million Moms contacted last week decided to not advertise during this week's episode of "Preachers' Daughters." Cadbury Adams USA LLC, State Farm Insurance, Lunada Biomedical (Amberen), Barilla, Hillshire Brands (Jimmy Dean), The Hershey Company (Reese's) and Mars Inc. (Temptations Cat Treats, Uncle Ben's Rice, and M&M's) ads were not present in the most recent episode.

Barilla's direct response here:

"Thank you for your e-mail regarding our advertisement during the show, 'The Preachers' Daughters' on Lifetime network. Barilla values its role as a positive part of family mealtime and your feedback is incredibly important to us. Our commercials air as part of a general cable television media buy and the appearance of our ad on that show was not intentional. In fact, we prohibit the use of our commercial segments running during any program that does not meet our strict standards that are reflective of Barilla values. We have learned that the Barilla placement in question was made in error and we have taken steps to ensure that, moving forward, our advertising does not run during this program. Barilla is a fourth generation family owned company that prides itself on its commitment to representing and promoting the best in family values. We are acutely aware of the significance of our products to families, and our actions on families, and especially to the younger generation. Thank you again for taking the time to alert us and share your concerns."

Sincerely,

Christine N.

Consumer Relations Supervisor

Barilla America, Inc.

And State Farm's direct response here:

"As you are aware, as a company, we at State Farm take great care to be sensitive to the television programming where we place our advertising messages. We continually review all of the media where our advertising airs to ensure it meets our company's objectives and guidelines. This particular program was a mid-season replacement and while a State Farm ad appeared in it, we do not have any other ads planned to air in any future airings of the "Preachers' Daughters" program.

Please note that State Farm is a proud member of the ANA Alliance for Family Entertainment. This is an association of national advertisers encouraging the entertainment community to provide more family friendly programming options.

Original Alert:

Keep up the great work! Several sponsors that One Million Moms contacted last week decided not to sponsor this week's episode of "Preachers' Daughters." Kellogg's, Turbo Tax (Intuit) and Jenny Craig pulled their ads from Lifetime's Christian-bashing program. Their ads were not present in the most recent episode, and we have included Jenny Craig's direct response here:

"Thank you for contacting Jenny Craig. Thank you for sharing your concerns about programming on the Lifetime Network. We respect your concerns. Our advertising is purchased as part of a national cable buy that includes the Lifetime Network, and we regularly monitor our buys to ensure they adhere to our programming standards. Through this process, we have found that "Preachers' Daughters" does not adhere to our programming standards and we will no longer be advertising during this specific program."

Jimmy Dean (Hillshire Brands) and Reese's (The Hershey Company) are sponsors who kept their ads running, and we will contact them again this week.

Lifetime's newest series, "Preachers' Daughters," is a reality show about Christian girls gone bad. The show airs on Tuesday evenings at 10pm ET/PT (9pm CT). Christians are deeply saddened that these "daughters of the manse" and their parents agreed to participate in this program. Of course, Lifetime undoubtedly made no effort to follow preachers' kids who are living in accordance with the Good Book. It is sad that Hollywood prefers to portray ministers' families in a negative light and hopes to see them mess up.

This reality show has three preachers' daughters in different situations that include teen pregnancy, a paternity test, drug and alcohol use, a hotel party, getting high at weed bars, lying, disrespecting parents and discussing sexual acts with sisters and friends. The episode began with an older sister saying, "The mind is warped living in a Christian box."

Instead of presenting Jesus as holy, the program is making condescending jokes and dragging Christianity through the mud. Aired in this manner, statues, paintings and stained glass windows of Jesus, crosses and scripture only mock the Christian faith.

As Christians, we know that no one is perfect other than Jesus because we are all born sinners who are saved by grace, but to publicize someone's struggles for a buck and exploit pastor's daughters in the process is pathetic.

Original Alert:

Lifetime's newest series, "Preachers' Daughters," is a reality show about Christian girls gone bad. The show airs on Tuesday evenings at 10pm ET/PT (9pm CT).

Christians are deeply saddened that these "daughters of the manse" and their parents agreed to participate in this program. The premiere was worse than expected. It was horrifying to see how shameless these girls and their parents were in making a mockery of their faith. Of course, Lifetime undoubtedly made no effort to follow preachers' kids who are living in accordance with the Good Book.

Preachers and their families live in a fishbowl and, while no one is perfect, they have additional pressure since they are role models and all eyes are on them at all times. My pastor has said that when he decided to join the ministry he told his wife, "When you live in a glass house better keep the windows clean." In other words, being in the public eye goes with the territory, but making a profit from your children's mistakes is another story.

It is sad that Hollywood prefers to portray ministers' families in a negative light and hopes to see them mess up. The network could have proved the stereotype that preacher's kids are the worst ones to be wrong since a huge percentage of preachers' children are great kids. Instead, Lifetime found every imaginable scenario of sins parents would never want their children to commit.

This reality show has three preachers' daughters in different situations that include teen pregnancy, contemplated abortion, planning a paternity test to discover who the father is, past drug and alcohol use, dreams of becoming a porn star, lying, disrespect for parents, and discussions of sexual acts with sisters and friends.

Each of the three girls has an older sister who is concerned for her younger sister but also embarrassed by the bad choices she has made. The pastors and their wives genuinely care about their daughters, but these girls are being exploited in this reality show and their mistakes made public just for money. If the pastors thought they could witness to others during the program with prayer, sermon clips and other messages, they have failed. It is impossible to witness to the unsaved in a show that plays creepy music and even has a devil's horns and tail on one of the letters in the title. Instead of presenting Jesus as holy, the program is making condescending jokes and jabs while dragging Christianity through the mud.  Aired in this manner, statues, paintings and stained glass windows of Jesus, crosses and scripture only mock the Christian faith.

The Christian bashing program is much worse than "GCB," which was canceled when advertisers withdrew their funding after being contacted by people of faith. This program is not only offensive to pastors and their families all across the country, but to all Christians. As Christians, we know that no one is perfect other than Jesus because we are all born sinners who are saved by grace, but to publicize someone's struggles for a buck and belittle pastor's daughters in the process is despicable.

TAKE ACTION

Please send an email letter to the sponsors for the premiere of Lifetime's anti-Christian program "Preachers' Daughters." This week's national sponsors are: Kellogg's, Sears, Turbo Tax (Intuit), Jenny Craig, Jimmy Dean (Hillshire Brands), Reese's and Hershey's.

Distasteful Jack in the Box Ad <p>Send an email letter to Jack in the Box and insist they pull their "flashing" commercial immediately, or they will leave us with no choice but to select one of the many other restaurant options available.</p> Jack in the Box restaurants will likely drive customers away if they continue advertising in a manner that offends parents. Their newest commercial has Jack telling his son how he met his mother at a rock concert. In a flashback, just as she is about to lift her shirt exposing herself to Jack, the ad ends but leaves nothing to the imagination.

Even though Jack in the Box is not located nationwide, One Million Moms has received numerous complaints from concerned parents and could not ignore this issue. It is important to let people know how they market their restaurant so they do not patronize the fast food chain while on vacation.

Jack in the Box needs to know we do not approve! Distasteful commercials are becoming the norm for this restaurant chain. Even if you do not have one located in your area, your voice needs to be heard so that other fast food restaurants will not mimic this distasteful type of advertising.

TAKE ACTION

Send an email letter to Jack in the Box and insist they pull their "flashing" commercial immediately, or they will leave us with no choice but to select one of the many other restaurant options available.

Lifetime Series 'Preacher's Daughters' <p>Please send an email letter strongly encouraging Lifetime and its parent company A&amp;E Television Networks, LLC to drop all plans to air the anti-Christian program "Preacher's Daughters."</p> Lifetime's newest series called "Preacher's Daughters" is a reality show about Christian girls gone bad. Lifetime's website describes the show in this way:

"Teaching kids right from wrong may take a village… except when it takes a congregation! Lifetime will premiere its provocative new family docuseries "Preachers' Daughters," following the lives of three families for a behind-the-altar look at what happens at home after the sermon concludes, on Tuesday, March 12, at 10pm ET/PT (9pm CT). "Preachers' Daughters" reveals a hard-hitting but often humorous look at the lives of these pastors' daughters as they balance the temptations every teenager faces with their parents' strict expectations and code of conduct as influenced by their faith."

The Christian bashing program is much worse than "GCB," which was canceled when advertisers withdrew their funding after being contacted by people of faith. This program is not only offensive to pastor's, their daughters and families all across the country, but to all Christians. As Christians, we know that no one is perfect other than Jesus because we are all born sinners who are saved by grace, but to publicize someone's struggles for a buck and belittle pastor's daughters in the process is despicable.

Lifetime should be ashamed of themselves. Networks continuously mock Christianity, and we will not stand for it. Some in the entertainment business have gone too far, for too long. Christians should no longer sit idly by and allow it to continue without speaking up in protest.

TAKE ACTION

Please send an email letter strongly encouraging Lifetime and its parent company A&E Television Networks, LLC to drop all plans to air the anti-Christian program "Preacher's Daughters."

Tell them you are prepared to join thousands of other voices in urging advertisers to place the show on their "do not advertise" list and to consider pulling all ads from the Lifetime network in protest of this anti-Christian bigotry.

P.S. Amazon began blocking our emails not long after our last campaign over the Kindle ad began. If your email was one of the ones that were blocked, you may call 206-266-7180 to voice your concern.

Inappropriate Beach Commercial <p>CKE Restaurants (Hardee's/Carl's Jr.) are currently airing inappropriate beach commercials that require our attention.</p> CKE Restaurants (Hardee's/Carl's Jr.)  are currently airing inappropriate beach commercials that require our attention.

Hardee's and sibling restaurant chain Carl's Jr. are again provoking people of faith with controversial advertising. This time the ad features a bikini-clad model whose tiny swimsuit barely covers her. This is extremely apparent in a side view where she almost falls out of her top before she unties it, exposing her bare back. She exhibits seductive behavior while eating the new Charbroiled Cod Fish Sandwich. The commercial concludes with a male checking her out.

The men and boys in our country are under attack from the common belief that "sex sells" in our culture, which is apparently CKE's favorite marketing strategy. The restaurant chain has gone too far again when porn and food go hand-in-hand.

Webster's definition of pornography is "material created for the purposes of eliciting a sexual response," and so this ad is pornographic.

CKE Restaurants, Inc., parent company of the two restaurant chains, has been using pornographic ads since 2003 when Hardee's and Carl's Jr. featured a porn king and Paris Hilton in their raunchy TV commercials.

This type of advertising is offensive and unacceptable. It is degrading to women and gives young women and girls the wrong impression, contributing to self-esteem issues, depression, and eating disorders.

This commercial is airing nationwide and are damaging to the minds of young children and adolescents.

Take Action

CKE Restaurants (Hardee's/Carl's Jr.) block our emails so a phone call alert is needed. They have ignored our emails in the past so let's burn up their phone lines.

Call CKE Restaurants (Hardee's/Carl's Jr.) at 1-800-422-4141, and then press 0. Ask the operator for the comments line so you may express your concern about their recent commercial (remember to be polite). Let them know that until CKE Restaurants make a drastic change, your family will never frequent Carl's/Hardee's again. Hopefully many will call, which may result in the possibility you will be on hold for a minute.

Disgusting Geico Ad <p>Please send an email letter to Geico regarding their new "Pig on a date" advertisement and ask that they pull this offensive commercial immediately.</p> Maxwell the Geico pig goes on a date in Geico's new piggy commercial. In Geico commercial, the pig and a young female are in a parked car on a lover's lane. The car is actually broken down, but while sitting there the girl appears to be turned on by the pig. She hints that she wants to make out. She is disappointed when she learns the tow truck is on the way and they won't be able to "pass the time."

Geico has succeeded in offending its customers with this inappropriate advertisement. One Million Moms has received numerous complaints because Geico's new commercial plays with the idea of bestiality. Parents find this type of advertising repulsive and unnecessary. Airing a commercial with an animal in it will surely grab children's attention, but this is a horrible commercial for families to see. Geico does not have our children's best interest in mind.

The Geico Marketing Team may have thought this would be humorous, but it is disgusting to see how the company takes lightly the act of bestiality. Let Geico know their new ad is irresponsible.

TAKE ACTION                                                                               

Please send an email letter to Geico regarding their new "Pig on a date" advertisement and ask that they pull this offensive commercial immediately.

Spencer Gifts: Need We Say More? <p>Please send an email letter to Spencer's corporate office explaining that because of their storefront window displays, your family will no longer visit the mall. Let them know that you plan to contact your local mall with the same message. Spencer Gifts should also put in place a carding system and have an employee card customers, not before they make a purchase, but before entering the store to ensure they are at least 18.</p> Spencer Gifts in malls across the country sell more than gag gifts. Their stores are full of adult games and toys, soft porn to pornographic material, crude greeting cards, and items with foul language on them in plain view. Currently, the huge window displays for Spencer Gifts are pornographic and satanic. It is scary to know that they are pulling in tons of teens, and not by selling mood rings and lava lamps. The store has a dark atmosphere, and influencing teens negatively.

The main poster is of a woman wearing a G-string while falling out of her corset. The second poster is almost as revealing and has a male with satanic characteristics gazing upon her. This display is degrading to women, harmful to young impressionable women, and dangerous to boys and men alike by encouraging temptation.

It doesn't do much good to complain to store managers. They say there is nothing they can do about it because the home office dictates what is in their storefront windows and on their shelves.

TAKE ACTION

  1. Please send an email letter to Spencer's corporate office explaining that because of their storefront window displays, your family will no longer visit the mall. Let them know that you plan to contact your local mall with the same message. Spencer Gifts should also put in place a carding system and have an employee card customers, not before they make a purchase, but before entering the store to ensure they are at least 18.
  2. Take it one step further and call your local mall and urge them to enforce decent storefronts and window displays since you are sure they attempt to  uphold a family-friendly environment or your family will have no choice but to shop elsewhere. Also, suggest that they require stores that sell adult material to implement a strict carding system before any customers enter the store. If this is too much to ask, then this type of store shouldn't be in a mall where families frequently visit, but instead in a free standing building so families with children can avoid it entirely or parents of teens will not have to worry where their child is shopping during a mall visit.

Icing Store Promotes 'Fifty Shades of Grey' <p>Please send an email letter urging Icing (Claire's Stores, Inc.) to remove the entire "Fifty Shades of Grey" line/collection from their shelves immediately.</p> If you are not familiar with Claire's Stores, Inc., they carry a jewelry and accessory line that caters to teens and tweens. They offer ear piercing which can draw in an even younger customer. Claire's and Icing stores, another establishment owned by Claire's Stores, Inc., are popular among young girls and teenagers and are found in malls all across the country.

Icing is now carrying an accessory line based on the vulgar and sexually explicit book, "Fifty Shades of Grey," which is inappropriate and completely out of line for any age. The company is using the trashy "Fifty Shades" brand to appeal to trend-conscious young ladies. They are selling iphone covers, CD's and keychains with the "Fifty Shades of Grey" logo and artwork.

Another inappropriate item Icing has on their shelves currently is their "Fifty Shades of Grey" jewelry line that includes earrings and bracelets made of tiny handcuffs, chains and keys. Attempting to make sex and bondage cool and profiting by it is wrong when teenagers are frequently visiting the store. Older teens may be their target market, but many tweens enter their stores and are influenced by these items as well.

Icing store claims to cater to teens 18+ and up. It is no secret that tweens and teens shop in Icing's trendy jewelry stores. Icing stores may attempt to be geared to an older demographic but obviously won't deny younger customers from entering the store since they do not card at the door. It would be a false statement to say 14 to 17 year-olds do not shop in their Icing stores when I have witnessed it myself.

Icing's Facebook comment in response to the concern for marketing this product:

"Thanks for sending us your thoughts. We love our customers and always want to hear what is on your mind. Our Icing stores are targeted to appeal to young women ages 18 and up. We choose our fabulous jewelry and accessories carefully and hope we can inspire her, cause her to smile and help her say something about herself. We do hope to see you in our stores soon."

Icing is making money off teenagers who are purchasing these items with sexual innuendos so they can fit in. This fashion statement is unacceptable for any age, older teens included. Icing is marketing merchandise that promotes promiscuity and sinful behavior.

TAKE ACTION

Please send an email letter urging Icing (Claire's Stores, Inc.) to remove the entire "Fifty Shades of Grey" line/collection from their shelves immediately.

File an FCC Complaint: 'F-Word' Aired During Super Bowl Broadcast <p>Please click link below to send an email letter to the Federal Communications Commission if you think it's long past time for CBS to take responsibility for what goes out over the broadcast airwaves that our children are watching!</p> Together we will hold CBS accountable for airing profanity in front of children and families! The network did not keep their promise that the Super Bowl broadcast would be safe for children and families. CBS aired an unedited "F-bomb" during the Super Bowl broadcast in front of an estimated audience of 108 million Americans - including tens of millions of children and families.

CBS is to blame for not taking precautions against broadcasting it into every home in the country. The network has violated the law and shows no remorse. CBS has had ample time to apologize but has chosen not to. No apology for their error shows lack of responsibility and zero regret.

CBS should have been on their toes, especially with their history of slip-ups similar to this, and better prepared during a world championship victory celebration. The network should not be surprised that the winning Baltimore Ravens quarterback and MVP Joe Flacco might make a slip of the tongue at that emotional and exhilarating moment.

It's simple enough for the networks to have a seven-second delay during live interviews with players like it did with other parts of the broadcast, but CBS didn't even bother! And the network's executives won't even apologize! The lack of concern shows they will likely do this again unless we put a stop to it. If we do not say anything, foul language will routinely appear once every game, then twice every game, and could spiral out of control unless we do something now.

This accidental mishap has happened again and again and again, both during sporting events and live talk shows. Every time, the networks promise they will be more careful, and it will never happen again. And every time, it does. The more it happens, the more desensitized everyone becomes. No one wants their children or grandchildren to pick up this type of language.

By taking action today, you can ensure the FCC does its job in enforcing the law and holding the networks accountable for their actions. Let's make sure the billion-dollar broadcast industry takes its obligations to the public seriously.

Take Action

Please click link below to send an email letter to the Federal Communications Commission if you think it's long past time for CBS to take responsibility for what goes out over the broadcast airwaves that our children are watching!

Send a Thank You to Dodge <p>Please take a moment to let Dodge (owned by Chrysler Group LLC) know how much you appreciate their company's bold stand and for openly sharing faith while honoring farmers during this year's Super Bowl commercial.</p> On occasion, a company shows its commitment to faith and family values in such a way, it deserves to be thanked.

Dodge is such a company. Let's show our gratitude by sending a thank you email to a company who not only kept their newest ad clean and family-friendly, but also mentioned God numerous times. It stands out because of the touching, positive message. Their powerful commercial which aired during the Super Bowl was a tribute to farmers across the country. It began, "So God made a farmer," and focused on the farmer's work ethic, faith, and family. It aired a family praying together and working hard together.

The Dodge Ram brand declares 2013 the Year of the Farmer. This movement is encouraging you to join them to help raise $1 million to support Future Farmers of America and assist in local hunger and educational programs. You can find out more at Dodge's website.

A farmer's work is not for the weak. My grandfather was a farmer before he went to be with the Lord. He was a Godly man with a huge heart. His passions were Jesus, family, and farming in that order. He enjoyed the outdoors, an honest day's work, and was never materialistic. Agriculture is what he chose to study in college to do what he loved. He never really retired, just slowed down a little. He couldn't imagine his life any other way. I remember he was tough but still compassionate. I witnessed personally his faith, but also his struggles as a farmer. My father told me stories about how early they would rise to get everything done. The entire farm family is dedicated and devoted. Dodge's tribute to farmers is well deserved and long overdue.

Foul Language on 'The Biggest Loser' <p>Please send an email letter to NBC asking that they take appropriate measures to insure that the program is suitable for family viewing during primetime and also an encouraging environment for all contestants, especially for the children participating in the show. Also, let the network know that if the offensive language continues, then we are prepared to file a formal complaint with the FCC and/or contact sponsors if necessary.</p> NBC's "Biggest Loser" is back with a twist. The program, now called "The New Biggest Loser Challenge America," airs on Monday evenings at 8:00/7:00 CT with Season 14's focus on childhood obesity. This season includes three children from thirteen to sixteen-years-old ambassadors that are competing. Viewers welcomed this addition to the show, but the excitement is extinguished almost immediately once the vulgarity and obscenities from trainer, Jillian Michaels, ignite and continue through the entire show.

This week's episode has many parents pretty fired up! NBC has the audacity to say that the show is perfectly suitable for family viewing. However, while trainers need to motivate and can be tough, Jillian needs to tone it down. Way down.

At one point the children are outside the gym with trainer Dolvett Quince, and Jillian is screaming obscenities so loud in the gym that they can hear them outside. The network failed to bleep out this foul language and other choice words the trainer used during the entire program. What a disgrace! The idea of profanity being used is unacceptable and unnecessary. NBC and "The Biggest Loser" should be ashamed of themselves for allowing this type of conduct.

This show has some excellent qualities, but Jillian's profanity and conduct is ruining it. Other trainers are able to do their job without using this type of language.

Keep in mind that broadcast television requires a license to use the airwaves that you own! NBC is aware that formal complaints to the FCC could jeopardize the network's affiliates broadcast licenses. Let's remind them by giving them fair warning.

TAKE ACTION

Please send an email letter to NBC asking that they take appropriate measures to insure that the program is suitable for family viewing during primetime and also an encouraging environment for all contestants, especially for the children participating in the show. Also, let the network know that if the offensive language continues, then we are prepared to file a formal complaint with the FCC and/or contact sponsors if necessary.

Oxygen and NBCU New Reality Special <p>VICTORY! After tens of thousands of One Million Moms members contacted NBCUniversal on Monday concerning their new reality show, the network announced that they have halted any plans to continue the "Babies Mamas" project.</p> UPDATE:

VICTORY! After tens of thousands of One Million Moms members contacted NBCUniversal on Monday concerning their new reality show, the network announced yesterday that they have halted any plans to continue the "Babies' Mamas" project. The network contemplated airing a controversial reality special titled "All My Babies' Mamas," but Oxygen, owned by NBCUniversal, has given it the axe after hearing from you.

In a statement issued Tuesday, Oxygen said, "As part of our development process, we have reviewed casting and decided not to move forward with the special." The cast included a man who fathered eleven children by ten different mothers, but the show has now been dropped before the first episode aired. Praise the Lord!

Thanks to you, the project has been curtailed. The network made this decision immediately after hearing from you! By letting your voice be heard you are making a HUGE difference in transforming our nation's culture one program at a time.

Thank you for doing your part and participating in One Million Moms, one of the most effective pro-family forces in the country.

_____________________________________________________________________________

Original Alert:

Since reality shows of families with many children have been done, Oxygen Media, LLC has decided that a program with one dad, eleven children, and ten moms is a good idea. During a Fox News interview, the dad finds nothing wrong with the show or his choices since he supports all eleven of his children on his own without any government assistance. Parents are concerned that this show sets the wrong example for today's youth on a moral standard.

The basis of the program is that the man has fathered eleven children by ten different women and a lot of drama is created by the situation. This is morally wrong, but the network finds the chaos produced to be entertaining. Oxygen Media, owned by NBCUniversal, will promote this program with commercials which will cause confusion for the children viewing them. It is appalling that this man will be paid because of his lack of values while young viewers could be desensitized into thinking this is normal.

The show is set to air soon so we need to contact NBCUniversal and let them know that this type of programming is unacceptable and they need to cancel it immediately.

TAKE ACTION

Please send NBCUniversal an email letter asking that they drop all plans to air this disturbing program. Let them also know you are prepared to join thousands of other voices in urging advertisers to place it on their "do not advertise" list and to consider pulling all ads from the network in protest of how this show pushes immoral lifestyles directly into America's living rooms.

Contact Urban Outfitters <p>Please send an email letter urging Urban Outfitters to clean up their website immediately or your family will make a conscious effort to shop elsewhere. Also, suggest they refrain from using this type of irresponsible marketing with vulgar slogans in the future.</p> On their website, the retailer Urban Outfitters is promoting a new line of holiday sweaters with the catch phrase "F*CK YEAH HOLIDAY SWEATERS." Their website is clearly geared toward teenagers, and they should refrain from using this type of advertising.

The majority of the company's customers are between the ages of 18 and 24, but the second largest demographic are kids under 18. Bottom line, their website and products are offensive and inappropriate for a store whose primary customers are teens.

Please contact Urban Outfitters and let them know their website must be cleaned up immediately or you will avoid their stores and online store while doing your Christmas shopping. Let the company know you will also no longer shop at their stores after Christmas if this type of advertising continues. This is offensive and inappropriate for anyone, but especially for their target market.

'Person of Interest' Turned PC <p>Please send an email letter and request that they stay true to their original style instead of becoming politically correct. Let them know that they do not need to follow the trend in normalizing homosexuality, or they will lose a majority of their viewers that tuned in for clean entertainment that did not push any certain agenda.</p> Many One Million Moms supporters have contacted us in concern that a go-to show for parents and older children is no longer acceptable to watch. Several of our members were regular viewers of the CBS program "Person of Interest," until now. This is not necessarily a show for young children since it is action packed with some violence and a 14-V rating, but one of the few programs on television that is fairly clean with no foul language or nudity. One Million Moms members have said they thoroughly enjoyed this series that airs on Thursday evenings at 9:00/8:00 Central. It is a fresh, intriguing, and extremely interesting show. As a piece of "escapism" there is no better show!

One Million Moms is disappointed that CBS and Warner Brothers turned "Person of Interest" into a politically correct machine. In mid-November, an episode aired that went way too far in an attempt to normalize homosexuality when creator and producer, J.J. Abrams, decided to introduce a married lesbian couple.

Viewers find out the female heart surgeon's spouse is actually another woman. They treated this immoral relationship just like any other married couple.  Clearly this is a way of promoting the homosexual agenda by making it appear absolutely normal.

TAKE ACTION

Please send an email letter and request that they stay true to their original style instead of becoming politically correct. Let them know that they do not need to follow the trend in normalizing homosexuality, or they will lose a majority of their viewers that tuned in for clean entertainment that did not push any certain agenda.

"666 Park Avenue" has been canceled after only 7 episodes! ABC announced that "666 Park Avenue" will not be coming back for a second season.

This is a HUGE Victory! The ABC series "666 Park Avenue," which is known for its controversial title and satanic content, will not be renewed. Glory to God!

The network will air all 13 episodes, but the demonic series will not return next season. Praise the Lord!

God is using One Million Moms to help remove this filth from television. As the hands and feet for the Lord, we are making a real difference.

______________________________________________________________________________

Original Alert:

Keep up the great work! Every single sponsor we previously contacted did not appear on the past several episodes of "666 Park Avenue." Your voice was heard!

The satanic and demonic series "666 Park Avenue" is described on ABC's website as a mix between "Rosemary's Baby" and "The Shining."

To paraphrase the description of the program given on ABC's website: The show is about a young couple who find what they think to be an amazing apartment when in fact it is haunted. Those who live in the building seduce others to get what they need and want. But how far will they go to get what they want? The finest living in the city comes at a cost.

ABC also describes the apartment building as wicked and dangerous and the owner of the building as a dark power.

The evil owner of the apartment building in the show portrays characteristics of the devil himself. This series includes: terrifying screams, death, murders, dead bodies, spirits, satanic symbols, mark of the devil, and souls bought for a price. These details are also shown during previews of the program. It airs Sunday evenings on ABC (Disney owned) at 10:00 pm ET/ 9:00 pm CT.

Take Action

Please send your email to the sponsors of ABC's new show "666 Park Avenue," and strongly encourage them to no longer financially support this program. Sponsors include: Petco, Clorox, Outback, Dyson, Dairy Queen, and Red Lobster (Darden Restaurants).

'Suits' Uses Jesus as a Curse Word! <p>Please send the prepared email and let USA Network (a division of NBCUniversal) and "Suits" know that Jesus' name is not to be used as a swear word.</p> Every night on TV and every week in the movie theaters, the name of Jesus is being used not to refer to God's Son, but rather as a curse and swear word. The Bible says this is wrong!

The Ten Commandments clearly proclaim, "You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain."

In the USA Network's show "Suits," the name of Jesus is blasphemed and hauled through the sewer constantly. And even ONCE is too much.

Now suddenly in the second season, the characters are all dragging Jesus' name through the mud! This is typical of current television, and our children are being desensitized by it so that some don't even recognize blasphemy when they hear it.

God is never glorified when his Son's name is taken in vain. You and I cannot let this continue.  One Million Moms intends to do something about it.

'The New Normal' Blasphemes Jesus <p>Please email the sponsors of NBC's "The New Normal" and strongly encourage them to no longer financially support the anti-Christian program. Sponsors include: Disney, ACE Hardware, Olive Garden, Revlon, L'Oreal and Fisher-Price (Mattel).</p> If there are any Christians who continue to watch "The New Normal," then this past episode would be their last after it insulted any viewers of faith. The program has constantly ridiculed anyone who believes differently than its makers do and even mocks conservative values. It has crossed a line that no one should ever cross, and that is blasphemy of Jesus Christ. The entire previous episode showed disrespect of the Christian faith.

For NBC Network to air a Christian bashing program is disgraceful. In the past episode of "The New Normal," the homosexual couple is searching for godparents for their new baby, since they are no longer spiritual themselves. Here are just a few of the direct quotes:

  • "Jesus was ripped."
  • "God has taken a divine dump on my dream."
  • "Twelve dudes sitting around gossiping and drinking wine- you call that the Last Supper- I call that a Tuesday night."
  • While looking at a painting of Mary in a cathedral, "Hi Mary. I'm a virgin too. I've also slept in a barn with three Wisemen."
  • While looking at a painting of Jesus, "Sorry, I shouldn't be talking smack about your mother, but you know who judges me- your Father."
  • "I'm gay. I lay with a man Leviticus style."
  • "Do you think the church can change?"
  • Priest says, "Contraire to popular opinion being gay isn't a sin. Church is not anti-gay. You must fight for what you believe."
  • Nine-year-old girl says, "We don't know what happens (to us) after death."

This anti-Christian bigotry is an attack on our faith. We must take a stand for our Savior.

Please email the sponsors of NBC's "The New Normal" and strongly encourage them to no longer financially support the anti-Christian program. Sponsors include: Disney, ACE Hardware, Olive Garden, Revlon, L'Oreal and Fisher-Price (Mattel).

Help us urge advertisers to place it on their "do not advertise" list and consider pulling their commercials from this program immediately.

The evil owner of the apartment building in the show portrays characteristics of the devil himself. Previews include terrifying screams, death, spirits, satanic symbols, mark of the devil, and souls bought for a price. It airs Sunday evenings on ABC (Disney owned) at 10:00 pm ET/ 9:00 pm CT.

Take Action

Please send your email to the sponsors of ABC's new show "666 Park Avenue," and strongly encourage them to drop all plans to air the program. Sponsors include: Johnson & Johnson, Egg Beaters (ConAgra Foods), KFC (YUM Brands), Subway, Revlon, Colgate Total (Colgate-Palmolive), and Macy's.

Email Viacom To Cancel NickMom <p>Please send an email to the president and other key executives at Viacom and urge them to cancel NickMom immediately.</p> Apparently, Viacom-owned Nickelodeon doesn't mind negative publicity. Just a month after the Jason Biggs incident that AFA reported on, the children's network is still on parents' bad list. Nick Jr. launched NickMom recently, and it is not what you might think. This new block of nightly, adult-themed Nick Jr. programming is completely inappropriate for a kids' channel.

The two-hour block includes a reality show called "NickMom Night Out" and "What Was Carol Brady Thinking," in which "Brady Bunch" reruns are laced in a style similar to VH1's "Pop Up Video," with racy thought bubbles added to represent what was really on the family matriarch's mind in the scene. (Example: "Does Mike think needlepoint is foreplay?").

"NickMom Night Out" airs foul language and women in the buff with carefully placed black bars and even cowboy boots to cover strategic areas during comedy scenes.

Obviously, the channel behind "Dora the Explorer" is modeling its new block after "Adult Swim," which airs at 10:00 p.m. on a competing kiddie cable channel. However, unlike the Cartoon Network, Nick Jr. does not air separate East and West coast feeds. Therefore, the block airs at 10:00 p.m. ET/9:00 p.m. CT/7:00 p.m. PT and even earlier in the afternoon in Hawaii, at a time when children are still watching.

NickMom is a profanity filled, perverted comedy that combines characteristics of a women's trashy talk show with standup comedians. One Million Moms will not sit quietly while Viacom's corporate greed and irresponsibility destroy one of the few twenty-four-hour preschool channels available.

TAKE ACTION

Please send an email to the president and other key executives at Viacom and urge them to cancel NickMom immediately.

'New Normal' Refers to One Million Moms <p>Please email the sponsors of NBC's "The New Normal" and strongly encourage them to no longer financially support this program. Sponsors include: Dyson, Fisher-Price (Mattel), Sprint, LensCrafters, Synsodyne (GlaxoSmithKline), Nissan, Loreal, Car Max, and Wonderful Pistachios (Paramount Farms Int., LLC).</p> Last week's episode of "The New Normal" referenced One Million Moms. Even though they attempted to poke fun, the show actually made One Million Moms look good. The conservative grandmother chose three girls who are raised in traditional families who share the same beliefs she does to help her cancel her granddaughter's fake wedding. She tells them, "I need the help of every one of you future One Million Moms."  By the way, thanks for the free publicity!

Any conservatives that may have briefly checked out the show primarily to see how bad it is who have never heard of One Million Moms just found out about our organization on their dime. If the writers thought this would get us off their backs they are sadly mistaken. We will continue our attempts to have this program canceled because it goes against Biblical principles and Christian values.

The grandmother does misrepresent conservatives at times since her character is not consistent in her actions, but focusing on last night's episode she was pretty accurate. She stated marriage is sacred and between one man and one woman. She was upset that her granddaughter was having a "real" pretend wedding. They didn't actually go through with it when the nine-year-old girl found out the ten-year-old boy had cheated on her the day before by kissing another girl.

The grandmother is not pleased with the pretend wedding and says that marriage is not for children or homosexuals; next it will be for dogs. She does make the statements that, "Marriage is a sacred vow. Marriage must be kept sacred. Homosexuals are trying to redefine marriage. Marriage is to be taken seriously."

Chick-fil-A was also mentioned when the grandmother said she was going to eat there, and the homosexuals' assistant said she missed Chick-fil-A. The two homosexual men just shook their heads saying no that they were not eating at this particular restaurant.

One Million Moms continues to discourage our supporters from watching the program to insure we do not help the show's ratings. The producer, open homosexual Ryan Murphy, is playing a game so One Million Mom supporters will tune in. Murphy even stated in an interview after our campaign was launched that our supporters should watch because One Million Moms will be represented during the program. One Million Moms records all major networks and will continue to monitor the program to keep you informed.

The program ends with one of the homosexual men proposing to his partner, and he asks, "Will you be my husband?" Clearly, NBC's "The New Normal" is attempting to desensitize America and our children.

Keep up the great work! The majority of the sponsors you contacted last week were not present this week.

TAKE ACTION

Please email the sponsors of NBC's "The New Normal" and strongly encourage them to no longer financially support this program. Sponsors include: Dyson, Fisher-Price (Mattel), Sprint, LensCrafters, Synsodyne (GlaxoSmithKline), Nissan, Loreal, Car Max, and Wonderful Pistachios (Paramount Farms Int., LLC).

Progress with 'The New Normal' <p>Please email the sponsors of NBC's "The New Normal" and strongly encourage them to no longer financially support this program. Sponsors include: Old Navy (GAP), Seven Up (Dr. Pepper/Seven Up, Inc.), Dreft (P &amp; G), and T-Mobile.</p> Keep up the great work! With one exception (V-8 owned by Campbell Soup Company), the majority of the sponsors we previously contacted did not appear on this past week's episode of "The New Normal." One Million Moms will continue to monitor and send out updates for the sponsors who have permanently removed themselves from sponsoring the show and if any reappear. Once again, we need to contact new sponsors of this irresponsible program that has no business being on television at all, especially on NBC.

To sum it up, "The New Normal" is about a homosexual couple who hire a surrogate to have their baby. Through the character of the grandmother, the show mocks anyone who disagrees with their sinful lifestyle choice. The show refers to those who oppose their decision as intolerant and a bigot.

The third episode was mostly a political debate largely pro-Obama and anti-Romney. Planned Parenthood, women's right (it never came out and said pro-abortion but it was obvious what the program was referring to), same-sex marriage, and healthcare for all were the controversial topics discussed during the 30 minute episode. The show was a platform for the liberal agenda. The program was also extremely racist and made anyone who has traditional values appear to be racist. This is a false representation. The twist at the end was when an African-American man revealed he was a Republican. The show is demeaning to conservatives and degrading to the black community.

The show airs on Tuesday evenings at 9:30/8:30 p.m. Central. It is no surprise that openly gay Ryan Murphy is one of the executive producers and director. Murphy also brought us "American Horror Story," "GLEE," and "Nip/Tuck."

NBC is using public airwaves to continue subjecting families to the decay of morals and values, belittling the sanctity of marriage and attempting to redefine marriage. This program is harmful to our society and damaging to our culture.

Millions of Americans strongly believe that marriage should be between one man and one woman. In fact, thirty-two states have voted in defense of traditional marriage between one woman and one man. Out of the states who voted, it is 100% in favor of traditional marriage.NBC's "The New Normal" is attempting to desensitize America and our children.

One Million Moms will continue to monitor and send out updates for the sponsors who have permanently removed themselves from sponsoring the show and if any reappear.

To sum it up, "The New Normal" is about a homosexual couple who hire a surrogate to have their baby. Through the character of the grandmother, the show mocks anyone who disagrees with their sinful lifestyle choice. The script refers to those who oppose their decision as intolerant and a bigot during the show.

In the second episode, the ultra conservative grandmother catches the nine-year-old girl kissing a boy. The grandmother immediately takes her to Planned Parenthood. She wanted the little girl put on birth control. Her actions and opinions are constantly contradicting each other. Then the little boy makes extremely perverted comments and also hits on the grandmother. Later, the gay couple is asked to stop kissing in an outlet store by a father who is shopping with his entire family. When asked to stop the PDA the gay couple felt mistreated even though heterosexual couples are not typically kissing on the mouth while shopping, parents feel that any form of PDA is not acceptable in front of children, but the gay couple still felt singled out. The father did not want to have to explain homosexuality to his little girl so he was portrayed as the bad guy.

The show airs on Tuesday evenings at 9:30/8:30 p.m. Central. It is no surprise that openly gay Ryan Murphy is one of the executive producers and director. Murphy also brought us "American Horror Story," "GLEE," and "Nip/Tuck."

Contact 'The New Normal' Sponsors <p>Please email the sponsors of NBC's "The New Normal" and strongly encourage them to no longer financially support this program. Sponsors include: Olive Garden, Macy's, Arby's, and Walgreens.</p> NBC has begun airing their new show "The New Normal" with the subtitles "A post-modern family" and "She's Having Their Baby." NBC's website describes the program as: "These days, families come in all forms - single dads, double moms, sperm donors, egg donors, one-night-stand donors... It's 2012 and anything goes. Bryan and David are a Los Angeles couple and they have it all. Well, almost. With successful careers and a committed and loving partnership, the one thing missing is a baby."

To sum it up, this show is about a homosexual couple who hire a surrogate to have their baby. The first episode mocks anyone who disagrees with their sinful lifestyle choice through the character of the grandmother. The script refers to those who oppose their decision as intolerant and a bigot during the show. There is also a graphic bedroom scene where the surrogate walks in on her now soon to be ex-husband who is completely nude and in the act with another woman. The most saddening is the child who plays the part of the surrogate's eight-year-old daughter who is cast in a program that is inappropriate for anyone, but especially for someone her age that is being exposed to information she is too young to understand.

This unsuitable program airs before 10:00 p.m. which is primetime and when children are likely awake especially in the Central Time Zone. The show airs on Tuesday evenings at 9:30/8:30 p.m. Central. It is no surprise that openly gay Ryan Murphy is one of the executive producers and director. Murphy also brought us "American Horror Story," "GLEE," and "Nip/Tuck."

NBC is using public airwaves to continue to subject families to the decay of morals and values, and to belittle the sanctity of marriage in attempting to redefine marriage. These things are harmful to our society, and this program is damaging to our culture.

Millions of Americans strongly believe that marriage should be between one man and one woman. NBC's "The New Normal" is attempting to desensitize America and our children. This storyline is the opposite of how families are designed and created.

One Million Moms warned NBC we would contact any and all sponsors of this program if they continue to broadcast it.

Urban Outfitters – Dangerous Influence <p>Please send an email letter urging Urban Outfitters to discontinue this inappropriate t-shirt line immediately.</p> The clothing chain Urban Outfitters is promoting a provocative new line of t-shirts with slogans such as "I Vote For Vodka" and "USA Drinking Team" which promote underage drinking. On their website under women's graphics, other versions modeled by young women who appear to be teenagers wear tees that read "I Drink You're Cute" in blurred letters and "Spooning Can Lead to Forking." Sadly, what's apparently meant to be a joke isn't far from the truth. Alcohol use is associated with increased rates of sexual activity for teens which can lead to contraction of STDs or teen pregnancy.

These products are offensive and inappropriate for a store whose primary customer is teens and tweens. The majority of the company's customers are between the ages of 18 and 24, but the second largest demographic are kids under 18.

It is unacceptable for a company to market alcohol related material to teens because kids should not be wearing these disturbing t-shirts that glorify drinking and sexual activity.

Take Action

Please send an email letter urging Urban Outfitters to discontinue this inappropriate t-shirt line immediately, or you will make a conscious effort to shop elsewhere. Also, suggest they refrain from using this type of irresponsible marketing with provocative slogans in the future.

ABC Continues to Produce Anti-Family Programs <p>Please send your email to oppose ABC Family Channel's pilot "The Fosters" and strongly encourage ABC to drop all plans to air the program.</p> Obviously, ABC has lost their minds. They haven't let up so neither will we. ABC's Family Channel has several anti-family programs, and they are planning on adding to that growing list. ABC Family has approved a series pilot from Jennifer Lopez's production company, Nuyorican, about a lesbian couple and their diverse family. Many families have already discovered that ABC Family Channel is anything but family-friendly. But because of family being part of the network's name, we thought a warning should still be sent out for anyone who continues to watch the channel. A premiere date has not been set, but One Million Moms wanted to sound the alarm about this new series. It will be airing on the network soon unless we do something about it. They are in the beginning stages.

ABC Family reported the comedy-drama pilot, working with the title "The Fosters," is about two women raising a "21st century," multi-ethnic mix of foster and biological kids. While foster care and adoption is a wonderful thing and the Bible does teach us to help orphans, this program is attempting to redefine marriage and family by having two moms raise these children together. One Million Moms is not sure how the explanation will be given on how the biological children were conceived. None of this material is acceptable content for a family show.

Hollywood is continuing to push an agenda that homosexuality is acceptable when scripture states clearly it is a sin. As Christians, the Bible also says that we must speak up against sin. If we remain silent then we are guilty of sin also. 

Lopez will be an executive producer for the hour-long project. Casting has not been announced. It's still in the pilot stage and hasn't been picked up for a series yet. Let's stop this dead in it its tracks.

 

Take Action

Please send your email to oppose ABC Family Channel's pilot "The Fosters" and strongly encourage ABC to drop all plans to air the program.

Let ABC know you and your family will not be watching "The Fosters" if it is in fact picked up for a series.

Let them also know you are prepared to join thousands of other voices in urging advertisers to place it on their "do not advertise" list and consider pulling all ads from the ABC network in protest.

ABC's Evil '666 Park Avenue' <p>Please send your email to oppose ABC's new show "666 Park Avenue," and strongly encourage ABC (and Disney) to drop all plans to air the program.</p> The producers of "Gossip Girls" and "Pretty Little Liars" bring viewers "666 Park Avenue" set to premiere later this fall. The satanic and demonic series is described on ABC's website as a mix between "Rosemary's Baby" and "The Shining."

To paraphrase the description of the program given on ABC's website: The show is about a young couple who find what they think to be an amazing apartment when in fact it is haunted. Those who live in the building seduce others to get what they need and want. But how far will they go to get what they want? The finest living in the city comes at a cost.

ABC website also describes the apartment building as a wicked, dangerous power, and the owner of the building as a dark power.

The owner of the apartment building in the show portrays characteristics of the devil himself. Previews include terrifying screams, death, spirits, satanic symbols, and souls bought for a price. It premieres Sunday, September 30 on ABC (Disney owned) at 10:00 pm ET/ 9:00 pm CT.

Disgusting Skittles Ad <p>Please send an email letter to Skittles (owned by Wrigley Co. and now a part of Mars, Inc.) regarding their new "Walrus" commercial and ask that they pull this offensive commercial immediately.</p> We are not sure of Skittles' thought process behind their new ad, but if they are attempting to offend customers, they have succeeded. Skittles' newest "Walrus" commercial includes a teen girl making out with a walrus. The two are on a sofa in an apartment kissing on the mouth when her shocked roommate walks in on them. Parents find this type of advertising inappropriate and unnecessary. Does Skittles' have our children's best interest in mind? Skittles candies are for all ages, but their target market is children.

Skittles Marketing Team may have thought this was humorous, but not only is it disgusting, it is taking lightly the act of bestiality. Let Skittles know their new ad is irresponsible.

Ragu's Tasteless Commercial <p>Please send Ragu (Unilever) an email letter urging them to no longer air offensive commercials and to pull their newest "Long Day of Childhood" ad immediately.</p> In the newest Ragu commercial, a young boy barges into his parents' bedroom without knocking. We don't see what he sees, but the cringe on his face and wide eyes tell us enough. This boy catches his parents in the act and walks away in shock.

"Parents in bed, but it's just eight o'clock; that's why they taught, you should always knock," a singer tells us. "He needs Ragu, 'cause growin' up's tough. Give him Ragu, he's been through enough." The parents then give him a plateful of spaghetti to calm him down. The Ragu is supposed to make him feel better. It's all part of Ragu's "Long Day of Childhood Calls for America's Favorite Pasta Sauce" campaign.

This entire ad not only makes someone lose their appetite, but Ragu is also being irresponsible in their new campaign. Instead of being helpful, it is harmful to children in the name of so-called humor. The Ragu commercial is inappropriate and tacky. The commercial has aired during the Olympics when families are likely watching.

TAKE ACTION

Please send Ragu (Unilever) an email letter urging them to no longer air offensive commercials and to pull their newest "Long Day of Childhood" ad immediately.

Making Progress with 'The Soul Man' <p>Please send an email letter strongly encouraging sponsors to drop all plans of financially supporting the anti-Christian TV Land program "The Soul Man."</p> UPDATE: Way to go! Every sponsor we contacted, excluding one, has decided to no longer sponsor the "The Soul Man." IKEA, Allstate, PetMeds, and Chobani have pulled their ads from the Christian-bashing NBC program. Their ads were not present in the most recent episode(s).

One of TV Land's newest sitcoms, "The Soul Man," blasphemes the name of Jesus Christ and mocks pastors. The mockery is similar to "Good Christian Belles," also known as "GCB." The program focuses on one family but is far from family-friendly programming. The show is described as: "R&B superstar-turned-minister Reverend Boyce 'The Voice' Ballentine (Cedric The Entertainer) was living the high life in Las Vegas at the top of the music charts when he got 'the calling' and decided to relocate to St. Louis with his family to become a preacher in his father's church. However, his wife and daughter are not exactly eager to give up the fabulous superstar life for their new humble one." The show airs on Wednesdays at 10/9c.

Networks like TV Land (owned by Viacom) continue to mock Christianity. This program includes vulgarity, sexual innuendos, and portrays Christians in a negative light. Here are just a few examples from the past two episodes:

  • Rev. Ballentine has women's underwear thrown to him while singing on stage as a guest at a club like the old days when he sang R&B.
  • Ex-girlfriend visits Reverend at the pastor's study alone for marriage counseling and begins kissing him, and then she shows up at his house and begins kissing his wife.
  • Wife hosts tea at her home for the women at the church, which the Reverend's cousin crashes and spikes the punch with a fifth of Vodka.
  • Cousin liquors up church women to sell her line of adult toys, and the women are shoving each other out of the way to get what they want.
  • Women make their purchases and worry how it will appear on their bank statement; they are reassured it will be under a discrete name like economic stimulation.
  • Reverend comes home and sits on sofa which accidentally turns on a vibrating toy that is hidden under a pillow.
  • Reverend is quizzed heavily by a group of pastors that resemble the mob to earn their approval and gain acceptance in their circle.

TAKE ACTION

Please send an email letter strongly encouraging sponsors to drop all plans of financially supporting the anti-Christian TV Land program "The Soul Man."

The sponsors of this week's episode of "The Soul Man" include: T-Mobile, Sears, Toyota, Applebees (Dine Equity), and Procter & Gamble (Olay and Swiffer).

Sears has a problem telling the truth <p>Call Sears' corporate headquarters directly and urge Chairman Edward Lampert to keep his company's word to stop selling pornography.</p> Along with explicit nudity, Sears now adds books on bestiality and pedophilia to its website

After our last Sears Action Alert, Sears assured the American Family Association (AFA) and One Million Moms (OMM) it was updating filtering equipment and enforcing strict guidelines to prevent sexually explicit products being available on their websites.

We took Sears spokesmen at their word and… apparently shouldn't have. Sears made the same promise in 2010. They broke their word then too.

Less than two months after Sears' latest promise in May 2012, the pornography has returned. Sears continues to offend their customers with nudity in ads for the posters they sell and the naughty lingerie.

But that's not the worst of it. Sears has added books on pedophilia to its website. Sears also sells books on bestiality and zoophilia. These books are "how to" manuals for people who want to have sex with animals. I don't want to be too graphic, but they contain descriptions, drawings and sketches beyond belief.

Technology allows Sears to remove and stop selling these products within minutes, if company executives want to. I hope you will take my word for it, but if you must see the proof, you may look for yourself on Sears' website.

Recently, AFA and OMM asked twice for a face-to-face meeting (at our expense), so we could share our concerns in person. We asked for only an hour of their time. Both times, Sears specifically said its people did not want to meet with us.

Take Action

Unless Sears hears from you, the company will continue to sell hardcore pornography. If you can only do one thing, please:

Make a personal phone call to Sears, so your concerns are clearly understood. Call Sears' corporate headquarters directly and urge Chairman Edward Lampert to keep his company's word to stop selling pornography. The number is 847-286-2500.

Additional steps you can take to make your voice heard:
1. Send an email in your own words using Sears' website feedback form.
2. Make a call to the Sears Public Relations Department at 847-286-8371, option 1.
3. Call your local store manager and politely ask him to pass your concern along to his district manager. You can find your local store phone number here, or in your local yellow pages.

Contact 'The Soul Man' Sponsors <p>Please send an email letter strongly encouraging sponsors to drop all plans of financially supporting the anti-Christian TV Land program "The Soul Man."</p> One of TV Land's newest sitcoms, "The Soul Man," blasphemes the name of Jesus Christ and mocks pastors. The mockery is similar to "Good Christian Belles" also known as "GCB." The program focuses on one family but is far from family-friendly programming. The show is described as: R&B superstar-turned-minister Reverend Boyce "The Voice" Ballentine (Cedric The Entertainer) was living the high life in Las Vegas at the top of the music charts when he got "the calling" and decided to relocate to St. Louis with his family to become a preacher in his father's church. However, his wife and daughter are not exactly eager to give up the fabulous superstar life for their new humble one. "The Soul Man" airs on Wednesdays at 10/9c.

Networks like TV Land (owned by Viacom) continue to mock Christianity. This program includes the pastor getting drunk, inappropriate language, and the portrayal of Christians in a negative light. Each episode is full of sexual innuendos; too many to list here.

TAKE ACTION

Please send an email letter strongly encouraging sponsors to drop all plans of financially supporting the anti-Christian TV Land program "The Soul Man."

The sponsors of "The Soul Man" include: M & M's (Mars, Inc.), Red Lobster, Dairy Queen, Big Lots, Inc., and Geico.

Oreo - No Longer Favorite Cookie <p>Send your email letter to Oreo (Kraft Foods) now! Ask that they remain neutral in the culture war versus promoting the homosexual agenda.</p> Oreo (Kraft Foods) is joining others in supporting Gay Pride. This month is LGBT Pride month and only time will tell if Oreo's support will continue. The company announced its support for same sex marriage on the Oreo Cookie Facebook page with a picture of a rainbow version of their famous cookie. Oreo's Facebook thread read, "Proudly Support Love!" with a graphic that read "June 25| Pride."

The cookie maker is quick to point out that the picture is simply an ad, and doesn't depict a true product. But it announced to American consumers where it stands on the controversial "gay" marriage issue nonetheless. Homosexuals are weighing in, hoping Oreo makes the fake cookie real.

Moms are aware that Kraft manufacturers a long list of popular products, but Kraft needs to know that there are competitors that make similar products. Moms also know that store brand products will help the grocery bill in this tough economy.

As we know, this stand has not gone well for other companies. For those who do not know, JC Penney (JCP) has parted ways with their president, Michael Francis, after only eight short months. JCP CEO, Ron Johnson, admitted in a recent statement that their Father's Day sales were a bust. "Penney's shares fell 8.8% Tuesday (after Francis' departure was announced) to their lowest level in a year, and store traffic was down 10%." This is in addition to their huge, first quarter loss. According to the Wall Street Journal, "J.C. Penney posted a $163 million loss and said sales fell 20% in the first three months of its fiscal year."

This loss should tell companies that siding with radical homosexuals has its price. Another example is Ford Motor companies. Obviously, the company's far-Left approach is driving away shoppers and its executives. Whether J.C. Penney will learn from its mistakes is yet to be seen. But JCP's freefall should serve as a warning to other companies before they decide to cater to homosexuals and their sinful lifestyle choices.                                 

There are plenty of cookies on the market for moms to buy for their families that do not support liberal causes. We have a choice. Kraft's brands include Oreo, Cadbury, Maxwell House, and Nabisco.

One Million Moms will continue to support companies in the future with full understanding where they stand on principles and morality. We will choose to stay away from those who do not support moral decency.

TAKE ACTION

Kraft needs to hear from you. Supporting the homosexual agenda verses remaining neutral in the cultural war is just bad business. If Christians cannot find corporate neutrality with Kraft then they will vote with their pocketbook and support companies that are neutral. Send your email letter to Oreo (Kraft Foods) now!

'The Soul Man' blasphemes Christ <p>Please send an email letter strongly encouraging TV Land and parent company Viacom to drop all plans to air the anti-Christian program "The Soul Man."</p> TV Land's newest sitcom "The Soul Man" blasphemes the name of Jesus Christ and mocks pastors as well. The mockery is similar to "Good Christian Belles" also known as "GCB" with a family sitcom feel. The word family is used loosely since the program focuses on one family but is far from family-friendly programming. The show is described as: R&B superstar-turned-minister Reverend Boyce "The Voice" Ballentine (Cedric The Entertainer) was living the high life in Las Vegas at the top of the music charts when he got "the calling" and decided to relocate to St. Louis with his family to become a preacher in his father's church. However, his family members - including wife Lolli (Niecy Nash) and daughter Lyric (Jazz Raycole) - are not exactly eager to give up the fabulous superstar life for their new humble one. "The Soul Man" premieres Wednesday, June 20 at 10/9c.

Pilot includes:

  • Pastor's brother and father use foul language and the father is a retired preacher whose uses the excuse he isn't a minster anymore.
  • Lolli wears inappropriate attire, mostly low cut, tight dresses.
  • Ladies at the church hate the pastor's wife or at least that is how Lolli feels.
  • Bribery, gossip, and jealousy
  • Female church member hits on Boyce and is disappointed when she concludes his marriage is going to make it.
  • Lolli tells Lyric, "We are all having a hard time on account of your father" referring to his decision to become a pastor.
  • Pastor's brother says, "Wow! People still come to church? Well, old people. Oh! Hot chicks in Jesus name!"
  • Lyric tells MTV, "My dad's only been a minister for a few weeks, and I'm still cool!" when attempting to be casted on one of MTV's reality shows.
  • Church member, "Didn't put me to sleep with long winded Scripture stuff."
  • Lolli tells Boyce, "Lack of booty makes you moody!" and "Women's parts start percolating when husband does chores."
  • Lyric pitches fit and says, "I liked being a celebrity's daughter, but not a preacher's daughter. I hate it!"
  • Boyce and Lolli sing "I want to have S*x with You" together at home and also played when they role the credits. A piece of the lyrics "I want to have sex with you,… in the kitchen, in the bathroom,… sitting down, standing up."

Networks like TV Land (owned by Viacom) continue to mock Christianity. In 2010 Viacom created an animated show 'JC,' which was the acronym for Jesus Christ. The show was canceled before it aired because we took action. Christians should not sit idly by and allow it to continue without speaking up in protest.

TAKE ACTION

Please send an email letter strongly encouraging TV Land and parent company Viacom to drop all plans to air the anti-Christian program "The Soul Man."

Tell them you are prepared to join thousands of other voices in urging advertisers to place it on their "do not advertise" list and consider pulling all ads from the TV Land network in protest of this Anti-Christian bigotry.

Avoid JCP this Father's Day <p><span>Make a personal phone call now to your local JC Penney's store manager.</span></p> One Million Moms (OMM) is disturbed that JC Penney's (JCP) is continuing down the same path of promoting sin in their advertisements. In JCP's June catalog, there is another homosexual ad, but this time with two dads celebrating Father's Day. The advertising booklet began arriving in mailboxes yesterday. If their marketing department follows the same plan they did in May, this mailer will be available to view on their website on June 1.

The ad shows two men on the floor playing and hugging their two children at home. It reads, "First Pals - What makes Dad so cool? He's the swim coach, tent maker, best friend, bike fixer and hug giver - all rolled into one. Or two. Real-life dads Todd Koch and Cooper Smith with their children Claire and Mason."

It is obvious that JCP would rather take sides than remain neutral in the culture war. JCP will hear from the other side so they need to hear from us as well. Our persistence will pay off! One day we will answer for our actions or lack of them. We must remain diligent and stand up for Biblical values and truth. Scripture says multiple times that homosexuality is wrong, and God will not tolerate this sinful nature.

OMM will continue to avoid shopping at JCP until they take a neutral stand. If you receive their advertising booklets or catalogs in the mail, OMM recommends you write "REFUSED...RETURN TO SENDER" on your JCPenney catalog and try sending them back. If they receive an onslaught of their returned magazines, they will take notice. Also, you may email, call, or use their contact form on their website to unsubscribe from their mailers so you will no longer have these delivered to your home. If you have a store credit card, you can close your account, if you have not already done so, to help get the message across that you have no plans to shop with them in the future. Be sure to tell them why you are unsubscribing and canceling your credit card.

TAKE ACTION

Since the corporate office doesn't consider your call important and are blocking our emails, please call, or visit, your local store manager. Local managers are more likely to listen to your concerns and pass them along to the corporate office.

Please be kind and request that the store managers to pass along your concern to corporate and urge them to remain neutral in the cultural war.

You can find the phone number of your local store local store here, or in your local phone directory.

DC Comics and Marvel Gay Superheroes <p>Please send DC Comics (Warner Bros. Entertainment Company) and Marvel (Disney) an email urging them to change and cancel all plans of homosexual superhero characters immediately. Ask them to do the right thing and reverse their decision to have sexual orientation displayed to readers.</p> Part 1: DC Comics recently announced one of their most popular, but as of yet unnamed, prominent characters will soon be coming out of the closet. DC Comics, owned by Warner Bros. Entertainment Company, has decided that one of their beloved superheroes will be homosexual. Who will they choose; Batman, Superman, Flash, Green Lantern, Plastic Man, or another one of their characters that children look up to?

Last year, DC Comics Co-publisher Dan DiDio said that the company would not change the sexual orientation of an existing superhero and would bring in a new one altogether. Parents may have been able to avoid a new character since it would not be one many children have grown to admire. DiDio has changed his mind and will not be introducing a brand new character. They will feature an existing character who was previously assumed to be straight, will now become openly gay. Senior VP Sales Bob Wayne said DiDio's view 'had evolved', comparing the shift to Barack Obama's recent endorsement of same-sex marriage, according to a report. DiDio did not specify which character would 'come out' or in which issue it would be featured. It will likely be a June issue during LBGT month, joining lesbian character Batwoman.
 
Part 2: And to make matters more shocking, Marvel, now owned by Disney, followed DC Comics' announcement with a surprise of their own. Northstar, Marvel's first openly gay hero, is going to tie the knot with his boyfriend in the current issue of "Astonishing X-Men." This is the first same-sex wedding in a superhero comic book.

In "Astonishing X-Men" #50, which hit comic shop shelves Wednesday, Northstar proposes to his boyfriend, Kyle, a fellow snow sports enthusiast who possesses no superpowers. The couple will seal the deal in issue #51, slated for a June 20 release.

"The story of Northstar and Kyle is universal, and at the core of everything I write: a powerful love between two people who have to fight for it against all odds," said X-Men comic writer Marjorie Liu in a statement.

Children desire to be just like superheroes. Children mimic superhero actions and even dress up in costumes to resemble these characters as much as possible. Can you imagine little boys saying, "I want a boyfriend or husband like X-Men?"

This is ridiculous! Why do adult gay men need comic superheroes as role models? They don't but do want to indoctrinate impressionable young minds by placing these gay characters on pedestals in a positive light. These companies are heavily influencing our youth by using children's superheroes to desensitize and brainwash them in thinking that a gay lifestyle choice is normal and desirable. As Christians, we know that homosexuality is a sin (Romans 1:26-27).

Unfortunately, children are now being exposed to homosexuality at an early age. Comic books would be one of the last places a parent would expect their child to be confronted with homosexual topics that are too complicated for them to understand. Children do not know what straight, homosexual, or coming out of the closet even means, but DC Comics and Marvel are using superheroes to confuse them on this topic to raise questions and awareness of an alternative lifestyle choice. These companies are prompting a premature discussion on sexual orientation.

Northstar's wedding will be the first same-sex wedding in the world of mainstream superhero comics, but not the first gay comic books character. Earlier this year One Million Moms emailed Toys 'R' Us concerning the "Life With Archie" No. 16 with two gay characters getting hitched. Toys 'R' Us had the audacity to display "Archie- Just Married" at the front of the store by the checkout counters.

TAKE ACTION

Please send DC Comics (Warner Bros. Entertainment Company) and Marvel (Disney) an email urging them to change and cancel all plans of homosexual superhero characters immediately. Ask them to do the right thing and reverse their decision to have sexual orientation displayed to readers.

GAP 'Be One' Billboard <p>Please send your email to GAP now and let them know you are offended by their disrespect for family values and common decency. Request they remove their "BE ONE" billboard immediately.</p> In Los Angeles, CA, GAP has a billboard located downtown that reads: "GAP- BE BRIGHT- BE ONE" with two homosexual men pressed together under a shared t-shirt. They are hugging each other and facing the camera cheek-to-cheek. "BE ONE" is in large letters which emphasizes the same-sex relationship.

GAP Inc. Brands, including Old Navy, Banana Republic, Piperlime, and Athleta, does not deserve, nor will it get, money from conservative families across the country. Supporting GAP is not an option until they decide to remain neutral in the culture war. GAP needs to seriously consider how their immoral advertising affect the youth of our nation.

Christians should urge for the removal of GAP's offensive billboard in Los Angeles and any other city where it is located. GAP will also need to cancel any plans to use the "Be One" ad campaign elsewhere including store-front posters, its website, and in print magazine ads.

TAKE ACTION


GAP Inc. Brands approved this type of ad in public areas where families and children are sure to see it. Please send your email to GAP now and let them know you are offended by their disrespect for family values and common decency.

ABC's "B---- in Apt. 23" <p>Please send an email letter strongly encouraging ABC and parent company Disney to drop their new program "Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23."</p> OMM must switch gears to another ABC program "Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23."

•    Chloe: "Oh, hey roomie! You're just in time for a little four-way action."

The program is primarily sponsored by movie previews and ABC promos.

Contact Clorox on New Liquid-Plumr Ad <p>Please send Liquid-Plumr (The Clorox Company) an email letter urging they pull this offensive commercial immediately and go back to their more responsible advertisement methods.</p> Clorox Needs to Clean Up Their Ads Fast

Liquid-Plumr presents two sexy plumbers in their new commercial. The Clorox Company introduces the Liquid-Plumr Double Impact Snake and Gel System in this ad which is full of sexual innuendos as well. They are attempting to use sex to sell a product to unclog drains.

The commercial starts off with a woman in a supermarket daydreaming about what this new Liquid-Plumr product has to offer. She says, "Double impact," twice as she reads the bottle. In her dream she is at home and answers the door to find a sexy plumber. The plumber is nice looking with huge biceps and a tight shirt. He says, "I'm here to snake your drain." She says come on in and he walks upstairs. The doorbell rings again and it is a second sexy plumber. He says, "I'm here to flush your pipe." She answers with an okay and while he walks on upstairs she lets out a squeal and moan while letting down her hair. Then she wakes up to reality to find the two men in the supermarket. She flirts by giving sexy eyes to the one man in the deli slicing meat and the other in produce holding two melons. These two men are the same as in her dream. It may be coincidence, but the man in produce is standing beside cucumbers with a price sign behind him reading 69 cents.

The new Liquid-Plumr ad is offensive and completely inappropriate for television.

TAKE ACTION

Please send Liquid-Plumr (The Clorox Company) an email letter urging they pull this offensive commercial immediately and go back to their more responsible advertisement methods.

Email ABC and Disney <p>Please send an email letter strongly encouraging ABC and parent company Disney to drop all plans to air the anti-Christian program "Good Christian Belles."</p> OMM will Continue to Fight ABC on 'GCB'

Starting with the good news, after tens of thousands of OMM members signed a petition several months ago encouraging ABC to drop all plans of airing the program "Good Christian B-tches," the network has announced they will change the name to "Good Christian Belles" and "GCB" for short. This means profanity will not be used or insinuated in the title and be listed in television guides, listings and schedules. Your voice was heard!

The bad news is ABC is going forward with airing this Christian bashing program. The graphic they have chosen to illustrate the title of the new series based in Dallas, TX features a woman wearing a tight mini-skirt and a cowboy hat that has a diamond studded cross hanging off the hat, which gets thrown on the floor. Originally, ABC planned to air the new series last fall, but it disappeared from their schedule after we sent them tens of thousands of emails. Now the premiere is set to air this Sunday, March 4, 2012 at 10/9 Central and rated PG with the title "We Shall Receive."

This show is described as a wicked new drama that digs up sins from the characters' past and leads to scandal. They make sure no one is a saint, and the revenge and scheming involving church members is like no one has seen before on network television. ABC's promotion states the good girls have gone bad and get rowdy.

The trailer on their website includes: flirting at church, a woman in angel costume being thrown into a stained glass window of Jesus which shatters, a couple making out on an office desk where they intentionally show a framed picture of Jesus that they turn face down, a woman telling a mom "Hers are real. That is going to save you some money." while cupping the mom's teen daughter's breast. There are also tremendous amounts of gossip, all portraying Christians in a negative light. Previews include Christian music like "Forgiven, we know not what we do," during make-out scenes and some previews include the use of foul language as well.

Networks like ABC continue to mock Christianity and we will not stand for it. Some in the entertainment business have gone too far, for too long. Christians should no longer sit idly by and allow it to continue without speaking up in protest.

TAKE ACTION

Please send an email letter strongly encouraging ABC and parent company Disney to drop all plans to air the anti-Christian program "Good Christian Belles."

Tell them you are prepared to join thousands of other voices in urging advertisers to place it on their "do not advertise" list and consider pulling all ads from the ABC network in protest of this Anti-Christian bigotry.

'The Client List' is on our List <p>Please send an email letter strongly encouraging Lifetime and parent company A&amp;E Television Networks, LLC to drop all plans to air the highly sexual program "The Client List."<br /> <br /> Tell them you are prepared to join thousands of other voices in urging advertisers to place it on their "do not advertise" list and consider pulling all ads from the Lifetime network in protest of this soft porn they call entertainment.</p> Email Lifetime

Lifetime's newest show "The Client List" is described as: a Texas housewife "Riley Parks" (Jennifer Love Hewitt), who, after being deserted by her husband, is left in serious financial straits and takes a job at a seemingly traditional day spa in a neighboring town. But when she realizes the business in part also provides other services, Riley must make the difficult decision whether or not to embrace an opportunity for her to resolve her financial hardships like some of the other women in the spa do. The series will follow Riley as she delicately balances a moral conflict between two starkly different lives -- one as a single mother in a conservative town struggling to provide for her family, or the other as a savvy and ambitious businesswoman working with a raucous, sexy and unpredictable group of women.

So in other words, a mom is employed at a massage parlor that gives happy endings. The trailer on their website shows Hewitt barely dressed when a man drops his towel and then states, "If you are on her list, you want to get off." There are plans for it to premiere in April unless OMM does something about it. If the promo for this program is too appalling to watch, then the show will be completely unsuitable for television.  

Networks like Lifetime continue to produce offensive programs, and we will not stand for it. Some in the entertainment business have gone too far, for too long. Christians should no longer sit idly by and allow it to continue without speaking up in protest.

Macy's Continues to Offend Customers <p>Please send Macy's an email letter asking that they discontinue their "two groom" advertisement.</p> Email Macy's

Recently Macy's Department store mailed its newest catalogue out to many Americans. In the hopes of making sales, instead they offended many customers in the process. The back cover looks like just a regular advertisement for their wedding registry service, but there is one major difference.

When you take a closer look you see the cake topper of two men instead of the traditional man and woman. The ad also includes a license plate that reads "I do" and hearts scattered everywhere. Macy's must believe this is mainstream, but just because gay marriage is legal in a few states, this is inappropriate marketing and conservative customers will not support it.

TAKE ACTION

Please send Macy's an email letter below asking that they discontinue their "two groom" advertisement. Many of our supporters have already spoken up concerning Macy's policy on transgender men allowed into women's dressing rooms, and we will continue to speak out on traditional values. Some of our members have reported that they requested that their Macy's store credit card account be closed and shared the reason behind their decision. During our last campaign, we did not receive a reply from Macy's, but this does not mean that we will give up.

Mattel Considering Kardashian Barbie <p>Urge Mattel to reverse their decision to partner with the Kardashian brand by sending them an email now.</p> Worst Barbie Doll Idea Ever!

Kardashian sisters Kim, Kourtney and Khloe have teamed up with Barbie to launch their own line of limited-edition dolls. "The dolls will reflect the girls' measurements and may even come in Kardashian-designed outfits," a source told New York Post.

Children should not be influenced by toys that idolize lifestyles that lack morals and values. These reality stars are not the example our young girls need. Beyond being materialistic and superficial, it is a fact that a sex tape led the sisters to fame and fortune. The 72-day marriage, multiple divorces, and multiple children (Kourtney pregnant with second child now) out of wedlock are completely inappropriate role models for children.

Scenes and topics of discussion on their reality show(s) include:

•    Nude yoga with a nude male yoga instructor
•    Modeling in Playboy Magazine which gives mother the idea to model nude in pictures as a gift to her husband
•    Discussion of sexual bondage
•    Watching porn on their computers
•    Suggestions of a three-some
•    Excess alcohol consumption which leads to violence
•    Arrest for DUI
•    Married Kim strips in front of male friend to see if he looks at her to determine if he is gay or not
•    Huge fights between siblings
•    High volume of foul language


This material is completely inappropriate for television and as the basis for a child's toy. Can you imagine if your daughter sees a Barbie commercial or a doll on the store shelves for a porn star? Or worse your child receives this toy as a gift at her birthday party!

TAKE ACTION

Urge Mattel to reverse their decision to partner with the Kardashian brand by sending them an email now. Let Mattel know that if they produce these limited-edition Barbie dolls then you will no longer buy Barbie or Mattel products and will gladly give your business to toy manufacturers that have the children's best interest in mind. Mattel should back out when they are slammed with emails from angry parents about their making a porn star doll for young girls.
