New TV Outrage - A New Low For TV:

YOUR IMMEDIATE HELP NEEDED TO DRIVE THIS GROSSLY INDECENT GARBAGE OFF TV AND OUT OF OUR HOMES...

First, we apologize to you in advance for asking you to read the filth below.  WARNING: it's EXTREMELY offensive. 

DON'T LET ANY CHILDREN READ THIS E-MAIL!

But millions of children were already exposed to it on TV, and you need to know how totally sick some TV shows marketed to children have become.

Here's what millions of impressionable youngsters across America who tuned in to the new Fox-TV show, "Keen Eddie," were subjected to last Tuesday evening (June 10) --

The plot involved a case about black market traffic in horse semen.  Detective Eddie hired a prostitute (whose ad in the newspaper read, "Forty Year Old Filthy Slut. Will Do Anything") to have sex with a horse!!!

FILE YOUR FORMAL INDECENCY COMPLAINT AGAINST THE JUNE 10, 2003 EPISODE OF FOX-TV's "KEEN EDDIE" WITH THE FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION (FCC) NOW!

This is what you letter to the FCC will look like:

RE:   OFFICIAL FCC TELEVISION INDECENCY COMPLAINT:

This is a formal COMPLAINT of indecency on broadcast television. My complaint concerns the PROGRAM ON:
NETWORK:  FOX-TV
PROGRAM TITLE:  "Keen Eddie"
BROADCAST DATE: June 10, 2003
BROADCAST TIME:  9:00 PM Eastern & Pacific Time, 8:00 PM Central & Mountain Time

Documentation of the indecent material on which my COMPLAINT is based is provided below.  A video tape of this entire episode of "Keen Eddie" is available from the Parents Television Council. PLEASE KEEP ME INFORMED OF THE PROGRESS AND RESULTS OF YOUR INVESTIGATION INTO THIS MATTER.

COMPLAINANT believes that this material is in context and fully representative of the show's overall tone and quality.

COMPLAINANT also declares that such material is:

• Clearly indecent according to the standards of my community;
• Especially offensive because it was broadcast at an hour when millions of children were watching; and
• Because the popularity of this program with young viewers is well-documented.

The FCC should exercise its responsibility to enforce the existing law against indecency on broadcast TV between the hours of 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. (Title 18, U.S. Code, Section 1464) by levying severe sanctions against the broadcasters of this program.

PLEASE KEEP ME INFORMED OF THE PROGRESS AND RESULTS OF YOUR INVESTIGATION INTO THIS MATTER. SYNOPSIS, June 10, 2003 EPISODE OF "Keen Eddie"

The plot involved a case about black market traffic in horse semen.  Detective Eddie hired a prostitute (whose ad in the newspaper read, "Forty Year Old Filthy Slut. Will Do Anything") to have sex with a horse.

When the prostitute showed up at the stable, Keen Eddie's thugs asked her to have sexual intercourse with a horse because they needed its semen. 

Actual dialogue:

Prostitute: --No, that's not natural.
Thug: --------Extraction for insemination. If you look at the picture on  page 45 you'll see how natural it is...
Prostitute: --Forget it!
Another Thug: --You're a 40-year old filthy slut, you'll do anything...
Prostitute: --With a human...

The prostitute finally agrees to go through with it.  She goes to the stable and attempts to arouse the horse, but the horse drops dead. 

She explains, "I never laid a finger on it.  I lifted up my blouse, that's all… he needs to get aroused.  I happen to know a little something on this subject."

CLICK HERE TO SUBMIT YOUR PROTEST TO ALL 5 FCC COMMISSIONERS

A copy of this COMPLAINT will be sent in your name to Gateway, Subway, Pier 1 and Nissan as a sponsor of this program, with the following message:

---

I am outraged at the frightening increase in violence, sex, filth, smutty humor and coarse language on prime-time television. TV shows have been poisoned by a flood of offensive material that is helping destroy family values and seriously harming America's children and grandchildren… and SPONSORS LIKE YOU ARE PAYING FOR IT WITH YOUR ADVERTISING DOLLARS!

In particular, TV was poisoned by the June 10, 2003 episode of "Keen Eddie" aired on Fox-TV and sponsored by {name of sponsor}.

As a consumer, I am taking part in this grassroots campaign organized by the Parents Television Council (PTC) to urge you and all commercial TV Sponsors to STOP USING YOUR ADVERTISING DOLLARS TO UNDERWRITE THE FILTH AND VIOLENCE THAT IS POISONING THE MINDS OF MILLIONS OF IMPRESSIONABLE YOUNGSTERS.

I hope and expect to hear from the PTC that {name of sponsor} has adopted a new and more responsible advertising policy that will preclude sponsorship of any program containing material as indecent as that featured in the June 10 broadcast of "Keen Eddie."

Sincerely,

Your Name

1. Go to Complaint To FCC and sign the formal indecency complaint to the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) against this "Keen Eddie" broadcast.  The FCC is supposed to enforce the federal law against broadcast TV indecency during children's viewing hours.  Please help us flood the FCC with complaints about this "Keen Eddie" atrocity.

2. When you sign the FCC complaint, the PTC will also generate on your behalf a WARNING TO SPONSORS addressed to four of the national advertisers whose commercial dollars paid to air this show on Fox-TV.  Your warning alerts Gateway Computers, Subway Restaurants, Pier 1 and Nissan Motor Company that you are shocked at their irresponsibility in paying for such filth-filled content.

3. ALSO VERY IMPORTANT -- FORWARD THIS E-MAIL TO YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY NOW SO THEY CAN JOIN THE FIGHT.

Fox-TV's descent into this moral sewer was paid for by the sponsors who bought commercial time on this show.  

They include companies like Gateway, Subway, Pier 1 and Nissan -- all nationally-known brands that want to be  perceived as friends of the American family.

How can they allow their commercial dollars to pay for polluting our homes with graphic filth like this?  Whether these companies intended it or not, this kind of content directly violates the moral standards of decent families, especially those with young children. 

When TV Sponsors advertise on shows containing content like this -- whether it's bestiality and foul language on "Keen Eddie," or the  barrage of ultra-violence and references to oral sex, threesomes, masturbation and homosexuality documented by the PTC on other prime-time broadcast network shows -- we must hold the sponsors accountable for attempting to destroy our children's and grandchildren's moral values and character.

Moreover, your official indecency complaint to the FCC will support our campaign to demand that the FCC investigate, fine, and possibly pull station licenses of the Fox-TV affiliates who aired this "Keen Eddie" show.

And, hopefully, many of your friends and family will also forward this e-mail, so the FCC INDECENCY COMPLAINT and WARNING TO SPONSORS will be multiplied many, many times over!

We need you and a lot of other decent folks to take immediate action. Please don't delay.

With urgent thanks,

Parents Television Council

P.S. Go now to FCC INDECENCY COMPLAINT to file your FCC INDECENCY COMPLAINT and to generate your WARNING TO SPONSORS.  This is how, TOGETHER WITH YOU, the Parents Television Council will stop the flood of filth, depravity, foul language and sick, ultra-violence on TV: overwhelming grass roots pressure brought to bear on one network, one show, and one sponsor at a time.

Also-PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY NOW SO THEY CAN JOIN THE FIGHT. 

Thank you.

For heaven's sake, though, don't read Chaucer or Rabelais. What you saw on TV wouldn't even touch what you might read in some of the world's enduring literature.

Certainly dont let Webber let his kids read the Bible. There is all kinds of smut in there. The sluts (er daughters) that get their father drunk and sleep with him. What about all the prostitutes? Seems most of the women in the Bible were hookers.

[mhking]

I raise my kids, and you raise your kids.

I don't need you worrying about my kids.

High five, my brotha!

[honeygrl]

"YOUR ARGUMENT IS A CHEAP COP OUT. And this doesn't just go for KIDS either. It goes for anyone, no matter young, middle or old age, who have a RIGHT TO BE FREE FROM this crap. It does NOT have to be mainlined into every household on public airwaves (or cable for that matter) in order to uphold your freedom of the "press" (which this is not) argument. People can get this crap and all other related crap at a special, dingy little bookstore like they USED to. "

So I have no right to see what find entertaining for free but you do?

[NeoCaveman]

"you couldn't be a professional because you justify one act of violence for another. "
yep, i said that!
professionals do NOT advocate violence, as she did.

The problem is she never advocated violance hence you are a liar and a fraud.

[Physicist]

Ooh, anarchy, very nice. We'll add that to the list in #94.

[StupidQuestions]

No ... say whatever you want. Write whomever you want. I'm just asking you not to ask Big Brother to regulate my viewing. But, if you must advocate that, I will defend to the death your right to do it (while all the while wishing you would not).

[honeygrl]

"Yeah, it's interesting however that the Fox Television Network continues to push the envelope of good taste with crude programming, while the Fox News Channel can be so balanced - even somewhat conservative at times. Makes you wonder where Mr. Murdoch is in his political philosophy. "

I'm certain he goes for whatever he thinks will get the best ratings and make him more money. If liberal media made him more money I bet FoxNews wouldn't be as conservative.

[FreeReign]

The poor judgement is on your part, other wise you would have framed - put it in some type of context - your lame question.

The question was simple. You have yet to answer it. In fact you would rather make up stuff about me, then answer it. The record is clear -- "my friend".

[liberalnot]

apology accepted.

i've said the same thing, over and over and over, on this forum for years.

i don't like hollywood. i do not go to their movies. nor do i watch tv. i threw my tv in the dumpster in 1994 when i saw how the networks protected the clintons.

and, i honestly believe that television violence is a bad effect on children. i remember 15 years ago seeing a neighbor's grandchild of 8 months alone with the tv. how many hours of tv do kids see before reaching adulthood?

the new york times regularly lists television viewing hours in american households. it's alway 8+ hours per day.

[NeoCaveman]

I'm certain he goes for whatever he thinks will get the best ratings and make him more money. If liberal media made him more money I bet FoxNews wouldn't be as conservative.

Murdoch is a capitalist. He serves underserved markets (that is where the growth is) hence politically conservative. If all the media was conservative he'd go liberal because that would then be the underserved market. He's a great example of free market capitalism.

[Chad Fairbanks]

Ummm... guys? We're trying to have a nice healthy debate about Smut here, so if you could bring that argument back to the thread it started on, that would be cool... ;o)

Now, back to the Smut...

[honeygrl]

"We should go back to the days of dirty little rooms where people who crave this kind of crap can have all they want and leave the rest of us alone. This country has turned into a cesspoool. "

Well, there are other countries you could move too that aren't as horrible as you think the US is regarding sex... Isn't porn illegal in India?

[liberalnot]

ok.

thanks for returning my constitutional rights.

[StupidQuestions]

Haven't you just defined a free market operating as it should in a capitalist society? Do you really want to regulate that market and make it less free? Are you on the right or the left?

[NeoCaveman]

apology accepted.

I din't apologize

i've said the same thing, over and over and over, on this forum for years.

liberalnot Since Apr 16, 2003

Really newbie, care to give us all your old screen names. There have not been years since April 16, 2003

[FreeReign]

Ooh, anarchy, very nice. We'll add that to the list in #94.

Ooh, "President Hillary's judges decide what constitutes pornography", very nice.

You response is hypocritical.

[wolficatZ]

Looks like the show is getting canned anyways here shortly..

"They hire a "40-year-old filthy slut who'll do anything" to complete the task of retrieving Hurricane's assets. Before she can even begin, the horse falls over dead.."

[liberalnot]

thanks.

my first post stands:

don't pay for the stuff, and hollywood will go away.

[Luis Gonzalez]

"NO, the REAL disease is the mainstreaming of porn and perversion into everyones home via TV internet..."

"We should go back to the days of dirty little rooms where people who crave this kind of crap can have all they want and leave the rest of us alone."

Let's see, on the first sentence you identify the fact that the internet is in my house, and on the second, you not only show the desire to control/eliminate what I can view in the privacy of my house, but beyond that, you want to send me out in public to view it.

I have some suggestions for you on how to avoid internet porn:

• Don't buy internet service for your house.

• Get internet service through an ISP that filters out porn and adult content.

• Get any one of the many software programs available to you (some free of charge) that filters out porn, and blocks out questionable content.

But no! That's too damned complicated for you, so instead, you want to control what I do in MY house.

[StupidQuestions]

I never threatened your Constitutional rights. You are the one about to ask the government to limit mine. I merely asked you not to do that. That is my right isn't it? I can ask you not to bring government into my television viewing? Does that request somehow deny you a right?
