This campaign was started to impact the decision-makers at the major television networks. Our goal is to stop the intentional exploitation of our children by those networks through the mechanism of grassroots, online activism using e-mail as our primary tool.
Our aim is to register 1,000,000 fathers who will join with us in this effort.When you work alone the networks, stations, sponsors and Federal Communications Commission ignore you. But can you imagine the clout you have by joining hands with one million other dads?! The networks, sponsors and stations will no longer ignore you, or laugh at you with contempt. Your voice will no longer be considered insignificant and unimportant!
YOUR VOICE WILL BE HEARD! THEY WILL LISTEN! AND CHANGE!
Can you imagine the reaction a sponsor, station or network will have when they receive a million e-mails concerning their programming!?!
Take a stand for your children! Join OneMillionDads.com today! After you join, help us find other dads who are fed up with TV trash and are ready to get involved.
According to their Web site - you don't. Check it out.
Shalom.
Vee alone vill decite vhat you vill vatch.
Seriously, do you mean that you wouldn't like any TV if it didn't have offensive sexual or violent content? There is no way to clean up "The Sopranos" and still have you watch it?
Hmmmmmmmm.
Shalom.
It is the idiocy, the classlessness, the lack of DIGNITY. My friends and I have a term for this kind of thing, we call it 'Gumby'. When something is gumby it is shamelessly retarded, juvenile. It is an orgy of self-degradation. It is like Gilligan on quaaludes. A horny Gilligan on quaaludes.
Its like in order to be on TV, you have to have a lobotomy, but not one where the result is you will stare off into space in a peaceful manner, but one where you become an annoying human clown.
TV idolizes stupidity, simpletons are its heros. Its dialog is obnoxiousness.
Be on or watch?
;)
Shalom.
I feel left out.
Maybe Wildmon wants to remind fathers of their responsibilities in the home? I couldn't say since I'm not a member of the AFA.
Anyway, there are several references in the thread to OneMillionMoms.com. Everyone should be, and seems to be, included.
Shalom.
I recognize that hair-care products are difficult to differentiate. However, your Herbal Essence commercials only add to the problems discussed above without really demonstrating the advantages of your product. It is unreasonable to equate the "organic" experience with the "orgasmic" behaviors of the actresses in the commercials. I am sure these ads promote your products, but they also promote an American ethic that is dangerous to who we are as a nation.
There must be a better way to promote hair-care products. Instead of following the modern trends that are destructive to our national identity, a company like Procter and Gamble is in a unique position to lead. You could provide a positive model to other advertisers, actually raising the bar in broadcast advertising if you will simply set a corporate direction to do so. In a time like this, when moral consciousness is at a low in our society, we need leaders, not followers. Will Procter and Gamble take the lead and pull these offensive ads?
I hope for a positive response from P&G. Your company has consistently presented itself as a family-friendly company and a leader in its marketplace. I hope it will act like one in this situation. I will make my future purchasing decisions based on your response. I look forward to hearing from you.
