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
Good for you, honeygrl. Little kids shouldn't be left alone downtown. Ever! ;-)
I always thought the lyric was "I'll give you man-o'-wars to rule the world," but seeing your version made me look it up. Apparently it's "I'll give you a man who wants to rule the world." At least, that's the way it is on most of the web sites I checked, although some people have other readings, still.
Keen Eddie is a funny show and, if you don't like it, there's a great invention called the "OFF" button on your television.
Just as my parents did not allow me to watch "Three's Company", you should act like a parent and monitor what your kids are watching for yourself. Don't rely on Colin Powell's son to act as your babysitter.
And the irony of this is, the more resistance this show gets, the more it will stir up curiosity. The rating have been mediocre.
On second thought....keep up the work...continue ther campaign! I love this show and your efforts may actually save it from the low ratings it is receiving right now!
The statist side thinks that guns are without redeeming qualities or uses, and wants the government to ban them. The free side wants the Constitution respected, regardless of the fears and dislikes of others.
The statist side thinks that as long as their kids are never permitted to see a gun, guns will never be able to harm them. The free side knows that the only way to make their children safe is to provide strict parental supervision, until their children are old enough to handle them in a responsible, adult fashion.
The statist side thinks that the responsibility for protecting their children from harm rests primarily with the government. The free side understands that the responsibility rests primarily with the family.
The arguments of the statists are based primarily on anecdote, fear, and emotional hyperbole. The arguments of the free are based primarily on reason, principle, and a fundamental suspicion of government.
No they don't. They come from what government SAYS is moral law.
Quite possibly the same place you can stick your rudeness. I don't appreciate the personal insults.
And when it comes to my children, perhaps I have a blind spot. I'm not about to apologize for it.
But your question was personally and intellectually insulting. Perhaps you should stop asking loaded accusatory questions.
Your intent was accusatory. You accused me of wanting to protect those who would endanger children. Yes, I took it personally. I'm not about to apologize for it. On the contrary, perhaps you should apologize for your tone.
Then again, perhaps you like asking people when they stopped beating their wives. Just don't be surprised when those you interrogate get pissed off, as I did. And I'm the last person you want to piss off; as large a man I am, I intimidate people simply with my presence. When I'm pissed off, I've been told that I am simply terrifying.
"You wouldn't like me when I'm angry..."
But the other branch of that same government lasted for another thousand years, and was Christian throughout.
You initiated the insults and now you do it again. You can stick it -- back at you.
You accused me of wanting to protect those who would endanger children...
I ASKED you if you were for any laws that protect children against abusive parents. Your previous remark suggested that you weren't.
And I'm the last person you want to piss off; as large a man I am, I intimidate people simply with my presence. When I'm pissed off, I've been told that I am simply terrifying. "You wouldn't like me when I'm angry..."
Let the record show that you now make physical threats.
Yep, bye.
Ridiculous fundie nonsense.
Try a history book not written by Pat Robertson.
You have no right to tell me this either. You can only prevent sales of alcohol to minors. You can't tell me I can't give wine to my kid with dinner.
Nor will I send my kids to government schools.
And drivers licenses aren't federal. (Yet. But I'm sure your crowd will try that too..)
It's the Fundie preachers who hang out in hotel rooms with hookers that are causing it all. Yep. I have it on good authority.
