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:
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."
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:
Sincerely,
Your Name
Call or Send a snail mail to the commissioners: Federal Communications Commission
445 12th Street SW
Washington, DC 20554
Phone: 888-CALL-FCC (225-5322)
TTY: 888-TELL-FCC (835-5322)
Fax: 202-418-0232
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
Also-PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY NOW SO THEY CAN JOIN THE FIGHT.
Thank you.
Parent Television Council
Apparently you were too immature to focus on the humiliation of those men rather than their body. Too bad your parents didn't have enough control over you to prevent you from 1) seeing the movie; 2) spoiling other people's experience of a serious theme.
You can address what you want. I will parent my children. My wife has some input, as do both sets of our parents. Are you in either category? No? Then, quite frankly, I don't give a damn about what you think regarding my parenting skills. I'm doing (in my NOT so humble opinion) well enough without some puritanical know it all sticking their nose into my home. And additionally, (sensitivity be damned) you can take your hypothetical accusatory question, fold it six ways and do something unmentionable with it. I'm not being sensitive; I'm being realistic. I WILL RAISE MY CHILDREN. You won't.
You have a right to raise your children -- as do I -- anyway you want except you can't endanger your child. I never questioned you as an advocate of somebody wanting to endager your child or as somebody who does endanger your child. I did question if you were an advocate of laws that protect child endagerment and I did so not because I was accusing you of such, but only because your absolute statement was worded as such.
If you were confused about the intention of my question, then the polite thing to do would be to ask me what I meant with my question, just as I ASKED you what the intention of your absolute statement was.
You can take your paranoia and go stick it some place.
As it is to me too. For many of the so-called conservatives, nothing trumps unlimited "rights." That attitude is not indicative a people fit for a republic, only a people fit for a libertine anarchy.
Too bad you can't win an argument without being rude, and sorry that you won't acknowledge the facts.
Don't make assumptions about which you are ignorant.
It's a surprise to me too, especially here on FR. This thread has been dominated by people hopelessly trapped in a fanatical libertarian agenda. No fanatics of any type can provide solutions to real life problems.
Government does regulate morality. The laws that we live by are based on morals. The government enforces those morals. I have no problem with that.
Here's a reality check for ya, "Will" - the debate you hate so much is part of the american political thingie that makes our country so great. Sorry you dont like it, but the fact is, the debate you are surprised at is focused on one thing: Should Government act as the parent, or should PARENTS act as the parents???
Debate THAT
Of course, that moral-liberal attitude of yours you are proselytizing could be used to tolerate anything. "You don't like seeing women raped in the street, then don't look!"
Well, as soon as you tell me what laws were broken by this TV show, your argument will be relevent...
That being said, I think we both agree that much of what is on TV is filth. our only real disagreement is how to stop it. You want the government to step in and force it to stop, whereas I prefer to hit the purveyors of filth in the wallet...
Same goal, different tactics.
