You won't believe what Sears is selling now "Hot & Exotic" is just one small sample of Sears' explicit DVD offerings
May 6, 2011
Dear Freeper,
Under the new leadership of Chairman Edward Lampert, Sears is now offering hard-core pornographic DVDs and music. Not just a few x-rated products, but scores of them!
AFA ordered one of the DVDs to see if it really came from Sears. It did! It was mailed to us in a Sears envelope, with a Sears shipping label, from a Sears distribution center.
Not only does Sears' website allow children to view its pornographic offerings online, it will sell them to children. During our online check-out process, we were never asked to verify our age.
I hope you will take my word for it, but if you must see the proof, AFA has set up a Sears Project page with more information, and how AFA navigated Sears' website quickly and easily to access hundreds of explicit products. Warning: the material is extremely graphic and offensive, although it has been edited by us.
Technology allows Sears to remove and stop selling these products within minutes, if they want too. AFA has tried more than a half-dozen times to reach out to Sears quietly and professionally. Basically, their single response was, "We're going to keep on selling them!"

You won’t believe what Sears is selling now
“Hot & Exotic” is just one small sample of Sears’ explicit DVD offerings
Hi everyone! As of a short while ago most of the EXPLICIT junk has been removed. I have been on the phone and email and web chat all day with this, and it looks like its paying off so far. Now there is just the worldly stuff about lesbo and homo stuff books keychains, body piercings, etc. you know same thing as will be on your TV set soon for all your six year olds to checkout! Great HUH? We are getting there. One down, six million more to go. At least we DON’T see two chicks licking each other in full color! I guess freedom works in many directions. But not in my house, it has a limit and its old American fashioned. Love to you all, Bugs.
Thank you!
Sears admits they were wrong; finally pulls website materials
AFA told the truth, despite Sears telling customers otherwise
May 6, 2011
Dear Freepers,
When AFA reported Sears was selling pornographic DVDs on its website, Sears initially told AFA supporters that it was untrue.
Finally, Sears called AFA on May 6 after AFA supporters flooded the company with calls and emails. During the call, Sears again vigorously denied they were selling pornography. However, AFA clearly showed Sears the material on their very own website!
When Sears realized they were wrong, they issued this statement to AFA:
“We sincerely apologize to any customers who were offended. Our agreements with our vendors prohibit content that is pornographic or sexually explicit in nature. We are removing these items that do not meet our guidelines. We regularly review our processes to ensure compliance by our vendors, and we encourage our customers and community to help us flag any items that they believe might violate our guidelines.”
Within the space of a half-hour, Sears removed hundreds of pornographic DVDs from its website.
Because you and thousands of others chose to get involved, Sears is no longer selling pornography.
Thank you for taking action and convincing Sears to get out of the pornography business. Together, and with God’s help, we are making a difference.
Sincerely,
Tim Wildmon, President
American Family Association
No, it is YOU that is full of yourself.
You don't give a dam about anyone else.
All YOU think about is YOURSELF.
Decent parents like ourselves don't want our kids sexed up with all kinds of stuff in the OPEN. Let them be KIDS!
It is our LAWS that dictate morality. You can't walk down the street naked or you'll be arrested for indecency. Yet You want PORN in the OPEN for ALL to see. DECENT people don't have your “values” or cold narcissism.
As for your personal insults:
“Get off your fat, lazy ass and try supervising them yourself instead of relying on the government to do it for you.”
Those that have no logical arguments are forced to rely on adhom remarks. You are incredibly childish and self centered.
Do society a favor, don't marry and don't have kids.
We don't need people like you in the role of a “parent”.
Curbing porn is hardly “giving up freedom”.
Decent people don't want a Sodom Gomorrah society. Yeah, I know ... while Rome burns you fiddle defending MORE OPEN VICE. Learn some history and APPLY IT.
you guys are bored.
explain this CAIN outburst. Is it cuz the folks here are young and haven’t seen this act before? Or is it futile. The right has deteriorated into fringe city.
I believe it is futile to fight splintering. We don’t have a real candidate in the race so I guess they chase after today’s novelty. I was not here in ‘08. I suspect there wasn’t much interest in Fred Thompson until Tancredo, Brownback, Duncan Hunter dropped out in the fall. By then, it is usually too late as FRED found out.
As far as I am concerned, In the real world, I wish to have nothing to do with the fringie activists. Spending an entire year with the Pat Buchanan activists was nauseating. It cured me for life.
“We don’t need people like you in the role of a “parent”. “
What an emotional little drama queen liberal you are: “IT’S FOR THE CHILDREN DAMNIT!!!”
Sorry, no one was selling “PORN in the OPEN for ALL to see”.
You’re just another sad excuse of why America is circling the drain. You believe it is everyone else’s responsibility to raise your children and you do so running on hyperbole.
The whole think went all to hell after Roebuck left.
Damn I missed the boat on this thread. Hohoho.
I didn’t know Sears was still around. Their presence here in their home town disappeared a long while back. I’m sure the last time I’ve been in one was back to school shopping for 4th grade or something.
On a side note I went into our local Sears store to shop for a new widescreen TV, this was yesterday, I wanted a plasma, I did NOT want 3D, the salespersons were in a funk that I decided to not embrace 3D, I do NOT like 3D, on some certain movies its good but for the most part it hurts my eyes too much.
So I will be shopping elsewhere for a regular plasma, and I may even not buy at all until the 3D push falters and stalls, blame THAT on Sony.
