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

"No, YOU get a DVD player and watch all the horse sex and homo porn and whatever you want."

Uhm, I've never seen any actual horse sex or homo porn on primetime TV yet... maybe i'm not watching the right channels...

[honeygrl]

"I am the ultimate V-Chip in this house."

bingo. Maybe this stuff will actually encourage parents do actually BE parents instead of letting the TV do it for them.

[Chad Fairbanks]

What? There's no Horse Sex on Primetime??? My god! Where are the standards?

I say we all freak out the FCC by sending them emails demanding more Horse Sex during prime time... ;0)

I thought taht was the name , or nickname for tha Turk in the prison with Danny that he kills after betraying John Hurt's character. *A little fuzzy* my recollection is.

Not channeling Yoda either.

[ffusco]

I'm there with bells on baby!
Wear the blue dress- it'll be a hoot!

Sorry, I was just quoting one of the funniest movies of all time, Airplane

[ffusco]

Not that there's anything wrong with it"
*waive arms emphatically*

[honeygrl]

"Unrelated. Abortion kills someone. TV doesn't."

but but but what about all those kids who copy what they see on beavis and butthead or jackass?? /sarcasm

When I was a teen, the house rule was "MTV is off limits." So, we didn't watch MTV. The parent has the ultimate decision over what they let their kids watch. If they can't control their kids, it's not my problem, it's theirs.

"Just dont bring it into the homes of those who dont want it--who dont even want the 5 SECONDS of it they would be forced to see before they got hold of the remote. "

I didn't buy your TV for you. And I don't set your parental controls. That's your responsibility, not mine.

[ffusco]

There's a problem in the cockpit......

what is it?

Its'a room in front of the plane where the pilot sits, but that's not important right now.

[Chad Fairbanks]

Well, having fun with Federal agencies is a big part of life ;0)


It's fulfilling...

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

It's fulfilling...

Indeed. Some people learn to work with watercolors. Some people take up golf. Some people volunteer at their local hospital.

Chad screws with federal agencies. : )

[honeygrl]

"This might not be the best example, but what if you don't watch it, your kids don't watch it, but the kids in your childs class do, and decide to re-enact the dialogue and the scene with your child at play time."

Then you get the oppurtunity to discuss with your kids what is appropriate and what is not.

[honeygrl]

Amen!

[honeygrl]

"Are you a porn freak? "

They show porn in primetime TV now? Man I really AM watching the wrong channels because I missed that totally.

[honeygrl]

"If they are not into social engineering in addition to making money, why do so many shows on TV either have a gay character or have innuendos? Did people ask for these characters and lines to be included in the shows? I highly doubt it. This is called social engineering!"

Because those shows get MORE RATINGS. Ever watch Will&Grace? It's hilarious and I'm sure makes them great money. Obviously people do want to watch those types of things because if it didn't make money, it wouldn't be on the air. It's ALL ABOUT MONEY.

[Natural Law]

Get a life! Exercise a little self control and control over the children in your home. If you don't like the content turn the damn thing off. I don't need you to make these decisions for me!

[honeygrl]

"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. "

He or she might want to stay away from the Bible too. All those concubines, prostitutes and the whole Song of Solomon might just upset her(or him) a bit too much.
