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.

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.

Homeschool.

[Under the Radar]

You're not seriously suggesting that the marketplace can decide everything. We're not talking about material goods and services here.

You can't be serious. What else is television programming if not a material good and service? It is the very pinnacle of the definition of "material good and service."

[Under the Radar]

Hey mhking, thanks for the heads-up about SkyAngel!

[Mihalis]

Everyone knows that. Don't bring the discussion down to that level.

[Eowyn-of-Rohan]

Wrong. My stance has zero to do with Puritanism or prudishness, and the reason I got a headache was because of the futility of attempting to reason with the closed-minded, ignorant people I was corresponding with. Sounds like you are another one of them. Go away.

[steve8714]

Where in the Constitution is our right to be free of (written, spoken, shown)garbage? The larger problem is that government has assumed all authority once in the Church, communities, business, etc. by way of the courts and tort system. When you can be literally sued for your entire net worth plus just for expressing your opinion in public it lays a chill on any entity without"sovereign immunity".

[tpaine]

Our government is mandated to enforce individual rights and rule of constitutional law.
It does not enforce the 'moral' rules of men. These rules are wisely left to our establishments of religion, freely exercised.
369 -tpaine -



Too simplistic for you to understand that that the laws, such that protect you from theft of your property and your life, are base on morals.
You are too simplistic to understand that the Constitution is deeply moral.
-happygrl-



Such common laws existed long before your religion based 'morals'.

They are based on the golden rule and our self evident rights to life, liberty and property. Always have been, in every society ever known, regardless of religious belief.

The constitution conforms with the generic 'morality' of the golden rule, not the religious morality of Christianity.
Only simpletons think otherwise.

[Eowyn-of-Rohan]

Your question has already been addressed and discussed in earlier posts.

[honeygrl]

"You are living in a fantasy world if you think that you have that kind of control. "

In MY home I do have that control. You left out "It's your home, your TV, your computer." and that goes along with the quote you took out of context. At someone else's house, no you can't control that. At home, you can.

[meowmeow]

TV is worthless. Turn it off. Problem solved.

[kb2614]

To paraphrase an ole dead commie:

TV is opium for the masses!!!!

[FreeLibertarian]

But they would Not have agreed that freedom is the right to debase the culture and visually and aurally promote vice.

Sex is not a vice, it is a healthy part of being human. Your desire to control the lives of others is a destructive vice that must be fought at every turn.

[FreeLibertarian]

Wrong. My stance has zero to do with Puritanism or prudishness, and the reason I got a headache was because of the futility of attempting to reason with the closed-minded, ignorant people I was corresponding with. Sounds like you are another one of them. Go away.

Sorry to crash your illusion but the closed-minded, ignorant people are on your side of the fence.

Go away.

No.

[FreeLibertarian]

They came here to set up a city on a hill where the ideals of Christianity could be lived out.

You must get your history from the 700 Club. Try thinking for yourself and reading something that doesn't have Jerry Falwell's stamp of approval.

[inquest]

This is from a famous speech by John Winthrop, first governor of Massachusetts Bay Colony (pardon the archaic spelling habits):

"...soe that wee shall see much more of his wisdome power goodnes and truthe then formerly wee have beene acquainted with, wee shall finde that the God of Israell is among us, when tenn of us shall be able to resist a thousand of our enemies, when hee shall make us a prayse and glory, that men shall say of succeeding plantacions: the lord make it like that of New England: for wee must Consider that wee shall be as a Citty upon a Hill, the eies of all people are uppon us; soe that if wee shall deale falsely with our god in this worke wee have undertaken and soe cause him to withdrawe his present help from us, wee shall be made a story and a byword through the world...."Source

[DAnconia55]

The posts by those supporting the FCC applying standards to the trasmittal of content over the public airways (not cable, not satellite radio, not commercial movies, not book or magazine publishing) is far more cogent, thoughtful, and well-articulated than the libertarian rants and hysterics by the libertines. This is a skirmish on FR. The moral society will win over the depraved in the long run.

Like I said, delusional.

Check my born on date. Been here even longer than it signifies. And was around Pre-FR too.

You Moral Ayatollahs have been trying to win, and you can't even win on FR. Much less in society at large.

You're losing. And will continue to do so. This is the last generation we'll have to put up with you. The young and middle aged know you're full of it. And will tell you to stuff it.

[Paulus Invictus]

As I was cruising the programs on TV last night, I was outraged and very surprised to see a special about some immoral idiots who had built a "male machine" to satisfy horny women. They described and then showed the machine complete with a large penis programmed to move in the "male way." More to my surprise they brought out a female who looked like a stripper heavy with silicone. She was made to lie down, strip off her undies and acted and sounded like she really enjoyed the ride on the machine.

Is there no limit to what the depraved trash that TV producers can and do put on the air and not get an X rating? Sorry, but I turned it off and did not get the name of the network, but it may have been late nite Oxygen. Anyone else see the program?

[iconoclast]

Nice rant!

But in a nation of single parents and two-income families, your appeal to "parental control" tends to make you look like someone living in a time warp.

[LasVegasMac]

Nice ignorant line of thinking! Comfy in life, are we?

But in a nation of single parents and two-income families,

Oh, I see. According to you, my wife and I are on the "abbynormal" list.

You are so right. I'll just file me some law suits. It's not right, or fair, that I try to raise my kids. It's not my responsibility is it? Hell no!!!! I like your line of thinking feel good crap.

Please be sure and re-register with the correct political party before the elections come around.

your appeal to "parental control" tends to make you look like someone living in a time warp.

I'll take my time warp as opposed to your liberal stained views anyday.

Now buzz off, your wasting bandwidth.

[iconoclast]

Nice ignorant line of thinking! Comfy in life, are we?

I exercise a little used, apparently to some of you, concept called "parental control."

Sir, you do not even appear able to control yourself.
