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.

I disconnected the buttons on our television, so the only way it can be controlled is via the remote, which my wife and I control. Our boys watch the channels we set the television on. And I have the Parental Controls set appropriately, so if something inappropriate does come on the channel I gave them access to, it cuts off. I then have the opportunity to review what is coming on and can grant them access or deny it.

[Chad Fairbanks]

That's just plain silly. It would be easier if we just hired government employees, one assigned to every home, who would say 'Yes' or 'No' when you submitted approval to watch a show.

Think f what it could do for the unemployment rate. And the upshot is, you wouldn't have to do anything! WHat a deal!

[Cultural Jihad]

Thanks for the note. My post was really directed to honeygrl, with a ping to you.

[AAABEST]

The more I think about it, the more I'm with you guys. Subcription channels and pay internet services are fair game and should be left alone as long as they're obeying the law.

But as far as the public waves are concerned, the "just change the channel" concept doesn't work when all any kid has to do is turn the damn TV on. I'm pretty much a free thinker but I feel violated when this stuff is being poured over the public waves like this.

If the water supply was polluted would these people say "just don't turn on the spicket"?

[Chad Fairbanks]

I think the majority here agrees that there is too much filth on TV, but I think the question still remains - what do we do about it - what method for cleaning it up would work? Do we just have government do it? Do we go after the sponsors? What is the right way to do it?

[F16Fighter]

"You can control TV; the TV doesn't control you.

Just watch old re-runs of Mr Belvedere, and you'll be fine."

The stench of this perverted crap permeates our society -- unless you happen to live as a hermit in a missile silo in the Dakotas, OR on your own private planet.

[Dave S]

They regulate it enough as it is, and you people want MORE, all because you are too damned lazy to care for your own children.

Happygrl probably also voted for Clinton in '96 because he was giving her the v chip and school uniforms.

[headsonpikes]

"Government does regulate morality."

Wrong. Government regulates behavior.

"The laws that we live by are based on morals."

Wrong. Some of the laws are founded on morals. Most of the laws are founded on moral hubris, which is a qualitatively different thing.

"The government enforces those morals."

Wrong. The government enforces the laws in an immoral manner - inequitably and hypocritically.

"I have no problem with that."

I'm sure you don't - and that moral passivity is the premier 'civic virtue' of all totalitarian regimes.

I, for one, won't be calling you 'dearie'. ;^)

[Chad Fairbanks]

Well, I'm heading off on vacation. Leaving shortly for the mountains - No TV, no Radio, no nothing - just the family and some good books (and the laptop so I can write code when the mood hits me)...

Maybe I'll be lucky and someone will steal my TV while I'm gone. Then, I won't have to clean all the dust off it... ;0)

[Will]

Looks like you are the one who needs a "reality check". I don't "hate the debate so much" as you try to assign my role, but find it stunningly incredible that people like yourself will sacrifice any semblance of reasonable debate in order to blindly stand for the promotion of decadence and societal self destruction in your moral relativist stance.

"Hate" debate? Please! You should try to learn HOW to debate - your discordianist over-emotional rant indicates that debate is NOT tolerated by you and all the other moral relativists who ACT as though you don't mind living in the filth of a nasty sewer. And make no mistake, "popular" media has become this and as such is INJECTED into our society by those who take the view "Who is to say what is wrong?" (or the ever popular "sin is just God's opinion and are not ALL opinions equal?"). There is a point beyond which damage is done whether you care to see it or not (or "debate" it or not)

Are you ready to support the existence of a sitcom about the homosexual gangraping of children? Why or why not?

Are you ready to stand up for the televising of torture? Why or why not?

Are you ready to stand up for televising snuff films? Why or why not?

You see, small minded one, there is a line. There will always be a line. Where that line is drawn is the only question remaining. I believe that it should be drawn at a point that PROTECTS the culture - at a point that does not have any chance of damaging our society - NO chance for that damage. It is beyond ridiculous to support anything that is contrary to this more than obvious truth. In the past this was known. It should be known (and practiced) again. And don't worry, the usual outlets of seediness, debauchery, and the demeaning of humanity will still be available to you and your kind if you choose to do for yourself - NOT as you will be choosing FOR ME or my family. These illicit and depraved items can simply return to the seedy, decayed sides of town...

"DEBATE THIS" Sure, just as soon as you get your first clue about what you are saying (much less any pretense of "debate").. I won't be holding my breath however...

[NRA2BFree]

I lifted up my blouse, that's all…

I'm aroused just reading about it but I don't think I'm the stallion she's looking for......... LOL!

You are sooooo bad. LOL!!

[Dave S]

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.

Then shut up when your local school teaches Susie has two moms and gives condoms to your little stud son. Thats a government form of moral regulation as well.

[Will]

You change your tune faster than a democrat pol in election year.

[Chad Fairbanks]

That was the most pathetic rant I have seen gracing these pages in a long time - Not wanting biog government to step in and solve every problem makes me a Moral relativist? Maybe you need to turn off the TV and read more - it's rotting your brain.

I prefer to hit the sponsors, i.e those who fund the filth that fills the airwaves - by doing so, I make it harder for them to keep funding it. Apparently you, on the other hand, just want Big Government to do it for you so that you dont' actually have to DO anything.

But hey, whatever floats your boat, man...

[Chad Fairbanks]

I've been consistent - I do NOT want Government to solve every moral or spiritual issue that confronts us - because of the potential for abuses by that government.

[tpaine]

If we want to end corruption in government then we must end the corruption of people.
325 -Cultural Jihad-



I can agree with that statement. :0)
326 -chad-



CJ wants to "end the corruption of people" by using government power.

This would violate our constitutions principles, and thereby corrupt our society far more than any perceived excesses of individual freedom.

[Chad Fairbanks]

I stand by what I said - I agree with the statement. How we each see fit to go about it may differ...

[NRA2BFree]

Turning your tv off may work for you,but what about the kids who watch programs like this without their parents knowledge? Maybe the kids are watching shows like this in their rooms.If we don't do something about this it will only get worse! TV shows are getting more vulgar every year!

I totally agree with you. Lots of kids are home alone because their parents are working and there is no parental control. If I had kids and they watched this program I would be livid. Complacency is killing America! If we continue to accept this kind of garbage, it will only get worse.

[Scenic Sounds]

There will always be a line. Where that line is drawn is the only question remaining.

"Where that line is drawn" is obviously an important question, but I don't think that it's "the only question remaining."

Don't you think that another important question concerns who is drawing the line? Isn't that what's being debated here?

[Chad Fairbanks]

Yes. "Who" will rid us of this troublesome TV?
