Years ago, I was watching cartoons with my 5 year old son. An ad came on for a sitcom - ( I think it was called “For Your Love”).
The actor looked at the camera and said “Honey, I'm worried about my sperm”.
I started calling the TV station to complain. The person answering the phone fully agreed with me, but the person who oversaw the advertising was no longer working there.
I then called the TV critic at the local newspaper, and asked him how he'd feel if he had to explain what the
ad had said to HIS 5 year old. He agreed that it was offensive.
I called back the TV station, and told them that it was a shame that they didn't have anybody over their ads, but how would they like it if the AJC ran an article about unacceptable advertising during children's programming?
I never had to call back after that day. No futher ads for “For Your Love” appeared when I watched “Batman” or “The Animaniacs “ with my son.

You did the right thing.

Problem is our side has been too quiet and polite about this garbage. We need to raise a ruckus.
