“I did a search and I can’t find it. It wouldn’t be the first time AFA has been wrong. They seem to fall for email scams occasionally, usually around Christmas.”
It’s NOT an “e-mail scam” and I’d like to hear more from you about when AFA has been “wrong before”.
In this situation they actually ORDERED the DVD’s from Sears. It’s on their website and written about in the release I just posted.
AGAIN:
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. See it here. http://www.afa.net/sears/index.html
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!”
Take Action
Unless Sears hears from you, they will continue to sell hardcore pornography. If you can only do one thing, please:
Please call your local store manager and politely ask him to pass your concern along to his district manager. You can find your local store phone number here, or in your local yellow pages.
Additional steps you can take to make your voice heard:
1. Send an email in your own words using Sears’ website feedback form.
2. Make a call to the Sears’ Public Relations Department at 847-286-8371, option 1.
3. Make a personal phone call to Sears, so your concerns are clearly understood. Call Sears’ corporate headquarters directly and ask to leave a message with Chairman Edward Lampert’s office. The number is 847-286-2500.
It is very important that you forward this alert to your friends and family members.
Sincerely,
Tim Wildmon, President
American Family Association
In a note of seriousness, I trust AFA to shoot straight. It would not be surprising to see that Sears has plunged into the porn business. Marriott Hotels, owned by supposedly devout Momron High Priest, J. Willard Marriott, has offered porn on their in-room TVs for a long time. With some, money trumps all and porn is just another money maker to dead souls.
“Hot & Exotic”
Umm, that does not sound like the usual “hardcore” porn title to me. The title could be about ANYTHING!
“Hot & Exotic” - Vactation spots
“Hot & Exotic” - Recipies to spice up your eating
“Hot & Exotic” - Firearms of the Navy Seals!
I would not jump to accept this story. Lets see active links and REAL porn.
