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:
To: Federal Communications Commission
(FCC), Washington, D.C.
Michael K. Powell, Chairman
Kathleen Q. Abernathy
Jonathan S. Adelstein
Michael J. Copps
Kevin J. Martin
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

- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

No --- I will defend his right to ask the government to limit my choices in life. I have to because I retain the right to ask my government for limits on his choices. It is part of 'petition the government for a redress of grievances'.
I will also oppose any government effort to give him what he asks for. But I cannot oppose his right to ask. He has an absolute right to write the F.C.C. I have a right to oppose FCC action but not a right to forbid him from writing.

To: inquest
but in this case I'd be perfectly willing to go all the way and say we should completely deregulate and de-censor television and allow the most perverted junk imaginable during all hours of the day. Then people might actually stop allowing their kids to watch the d___d thing, and then things might actually start to improve in this country.Might work. Then again, how many parents actually regulate what their kids view on the Internet?

Thanks, but I was wondering about that word, "is". Whatever that might mean is anybody's guess.

"I knew your were pro-INFANTICIDE. And probably most everyone else who don't think their should be a moral std for TV. "
Are you trying to say that all of us who don't agree with you are probably pro-abortion? That's a big leap. I'm pro-parental control. Parents control what their kids watch. My kids are only allowed to watch kid oriented shows/channels. There are plenty of them. Disney is great and does their best not to offend anyone with their shows. There is also The Family Channel with family shows, PAX TV which tries to serve christian audiences and quite a few other kid friendly networks. When the kids are in bed, I get to watch the adult shows that I like. My son gets a TV in his room but with parental controls so he only sees the kid channels and has no access to anything else. It works for us and we all get to watch what entertains us without asking anyone else to change what they do so I don't have to watch my kids.

"I see. So you go with your children everywhere they go to make sure YOU can snatch them away in case the home or place that they happen to be is showing something you don't want them to watch. RIGHT? Give me a break. "
Hopefully you teach them what you consider inappropriate for them to watch and they choose not to watch it when they are old enough to watch it at someone else's house. And if you know they are going to watch smut at a friends house, then you can control that too by not letting them go there.
To: ffusco
"Oh no he's on to us!
Everyone scatter and meet at Hillary's house at the stroke of midnight- There we will sacrifice a small child....... "
LOL and don't forget your copy of Lying History and the latest Girls Gone Wild DVD for the ritual!
