I recorded the rest of the movie, and fast forwarded the movie, to find their advertisers. Many of their advertisers are local, but Dunkin Donuts is a national one, so I have contacted them, and here's what I wrote:

"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."

Product feedback: https://www.dunkindonuts.com/aboutus/contact/Feedback.aspx?type=5

Write Us Dunkin' Donuts Consumer Care 130 Royall Street Canton, MA 02021 Tel: 800-859-5339

I hope some of you will join me in contacting the FCC, and tell me which organizations I can contact, as well.

That would be taking the Lord's name in vain.

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.

You thought Cinderella Man was a ‘family movie’?

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.

They say they got to be authentic. Hollywood puts out movies about aliens, time travelers, 105 lb starlets who can physically beat up a 300 lb hulk and they say that they're worried about the language being believable. I bet they even took some dramatic license with the facts of Braddock's story. But don't dare tamper with “authentic” language.

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.

Psssssst focus! Not saying you are right or wrong, but there is an election November 4th. Perhaps you should not major in the minors.

We’re about to elect a f*&%ing Marxist to the presidency and this is the kind of bullcrap you’re worried about?

Let me change that: WE ARE LOSING THE ELECTION BECAUSE OF YOU. PLEASE GET YOURSELF FAR AWAY FROM THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AS POSSIBLE.

That's the reason Mrs Bear and I rarely go to the Theater. I am still waiting for a chance to see “An American Carol,” but I dread that when I see it I'll walk out due to a “Rev Wrightism.”

It was bad enough when was just the premium channels, now the networks have no standards. A few years ago, my wife and I got rid of every movie, cd and book that blasphemes God's name.

Ignore the detractors, I'm glad I'm not the only one who takes this stand.

Most televisions allow you to change the channel if you disapprove of the program.

I think this approach is the most effective.

I'm sure Dunkin' Donuts knew exactly what was in the film (which is good aside from the portrayal of Max Baer).

I asked God, he said he’s OK with it.

Relax.
