CBS showed the movie "Cinderella Man" at 8:00 p.m. on Oct. 25, 2008, and around 9:15 p.m., the movie showed taking the Lord's name in vein, and the Holy family, several times. This is inappropriate and should be illegal on the public's free airways. CBS could have easily cut that from what we thought was a family movie.
"I'm sure Dunkin Donuts did not know there would be profanities, but I request that in view of the fact that you had an ad re: "dunkin beat starbucks' during the viewing of this movie, you could tell CBS that you will not advertise with them again on shows that are inappropriate."

I hope some of you will join me in contacting the FCC, and tell me which organizations I can contact, as well.
FYI
Most people don't care. That includes me most of the time. I don't watch much tv. It's a cesspool.
Frankly, I’ve seen the movie several times and love it. Great film about a truly inspiring story.
Damn, can you believe the crap they put on TV these days? I mean, what the hell is the world coming to?
Lol.
You thought Cinderella Man was a ‘family movie’?
“Great film about a truly inspiring story.”
I don’t disagree, but that doesn’t give them the excuse to take the Lord’s name in vein, and the Holy Family, several times in less than a minute.
Would C-BS disrespect the Islam religion?
They would not DARE!
No problem with using profanity with peace-loving Christians, though.
I hope they used sterilized needles when they took the Lord’s Name in vein.
I mean, I’ve heard of being washed in the Blood of Jesus (and I am!) but I’ve never heard of someone getting saved going the intravenous route.
As for the movie and the media?
It’s a sewer out there FRiend, and only the Return of the Big Guy Himself is going to put a stop to it.
Sorry, but I think Cinderella Man is an inspiring, wonderful film. It is not for young children, as there is some violent boxing, sad scenes, etc. But protesting THIS movie of all things? I think there are much better things to do with your energy.
.. good one.. Freebasing Jesus is not the path to salvation.
Cinderella Man... one of my favorite movies...
God works through His People, and the Bible says we are to warn others.
If they don’t listen, it’s not our fault, but it is our job to tell them they are wrong.
Does it not bother you that they go out of their way to NOT offend Islam, but often intentionally offend Christians?
btw—what in the world made you think this was a family movie? my hubby and i watched this one after we put the kids to bed...
“But protesting THIS movie of all things? I think there are much better things to do with your energy.”
My first energy is used to honor God.
Can it...
“They say they got to be authentic.”
But they are not “authentic” when it comes to Islam.
There’s plenty of language that I find very offensive, but none of it should be banned by the federal government. If it weren’t for the power hungry Supreme Court, states would still be able to restrict speech they desire to without going against the Constitution, the way it should be. But any federal restrictions of speech are blatantly unconstitutional. Saying otherwise is the same as the “living breathing document” bull the liberals talk about. We can’t run the government based on the way we think the Constitution should be, but the way the Constitution is.
