The website is worthy of mention:

Thanks for mentioning it.

They promise to post a list of advertisers too.

I am all in favor of warning ALL major companies advertising on CBS that if they don't put pressure on CBS to NOT show this disgusting slanderous movie, we'll boycott them, even if they advertise on other CBS shows.

CBS CAN be influenced by their advertisers.

CBS Tidies Up for Advertiser

Procter & Gamble makes the world a shinier, happier place. Now, thanks to the maker of Tide, Cascade and Head & Shoulders, CBS is cleaning up its act.

CBS pulled a rerun of Family Law Monday after Procter & Gamble deemed the episode too controversial for its family-friendly image and decided not to advertise on the drama.

The network--mired in an industry-wide advertising slump and desperate for ad dollars--decided to bump the episode (in which a young child uses his mother's handgun to kill a sibling) and replace it with a less controversial show (about spousal abuse) that Procter & Gamble approved of.

When we get the list of sponsors, the FReep campaign must commence immediately.
