Ad for Brokeback Mountain played over and over during A Christmas Story, today, Christmas Day on TBS.
Sent an email to tbsinfo@turner.com. Will let you know if they respond.
Let 'em waste thier ad money like that NO one that watched "A Christmas Story" will EVER go see that POS!
Merry Christmas can't be said for it might offend someone. However, promotion of gay trash isn't supposed to offend anyone.
Sorry, there isn't an ad budget big enough to make "When Heath Met Jake" something I want to see.
It is, after all, Turner BS.
You have to consider the source.
I'm certain you'll get a response.
I'll lay some big odds that you won't be happy with it.
Agreed. However, I will make sure I copy the response here on FR. For what its worth...
Looking forward to it.
I make it a point to challenge the media, mostly local, when they are just wrong. Usually a one or two word response to a well thought out challenge.
The classic response is something like "sorry" or "whatever".
I'm surprised, when I watched A Christmas Story last night the only movie I saw advertised was the Little Red Riding Hood cartoon that is coming out. I would have thought that they would have advertised during the entire 24 hours of A Christmas Story.
Why should they advertise something they've done every year for the last 10 years?
TBS isn't the only one running that deceptive add.
So true, friend, so true. I'd call it 'ironic', but in truth........it's thoroughly disgusting. Makes me ashamed of my own country.
I also had the unfortunate experience of catching the first few seconds of the homosexual movie ad as I was watching A Christmas Story with my two young children. I immediately clicked over to the parental feature on my cable box and added TBS to the blocked list to keep company with MTV and Bravo. I have also fired off a protest email to TBS.
You can bet that some activist, in-your-face homosexual in the TBS sales group sold the ad placement during a family movie on purpose. It's just another way of recruiting future homosexuals to them.
What about the gay conspiracy to invade Christmas carols?
(sorry...I'm joking here...:) )
"Don we now our gay apparel"--Deck the Halls
"...and gay happy meetings"-- It's the Most Wonderful
Time of the Year
And:
Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Make the Yule-tide gay.
Then there's Sleigh Ride:
"We're gliding along with a song
of a wintry fairy land"
Must be San Francisco.
And in other songs:
Sam Cooke, "Twistin' the Night Away":
"...where the people are so gay..."
And that foul, foul line from the Flintstones theme...
ROFL! Gorilla luuuuuv! Hollywood style. Which is really doggy-style.
Calling Lassie! (That part was played by male dogs, ya know.)
My GOD! Men HUGGING?!
On television?! I guess
children are goners --
If they saw that then
they're gonna grow up to be
gay. Cause and effect . . .
