Human Rights Campaign Foundation invades saturday morning cartoons (My title)

Me

That was an e-mail I shot off to Rush as I thought he might be interested in it. And now I'm posting it here as a warning. If you're not keeping your eyes on what your kids are watching on saturday morning cartoons then you should be. While generally speaking you don't have to worry about the cartoons, which are for the most part nothing more than 30 minute ads for the products they're selling (With the exception of shows like "Captain Planet"), you DO have to worry about groups like the Human Rights Campaign ramming their beliefs down your childs throat. Without a thought given to how their message will affect your child. What's next? Safe sex messages? Understanding a womans' right to choose? That sounds extreme, but let's not forget that the Human Rights Campaign Foundation is pushing tolerance of homosexuality to 7 year olds, who're to young to understand what homosexuality is.

I don't know. Maybe I'm grossly over-reacting. I'm still angry, though.

Wow!........Bump!

"And as a parent, you feel it's alright for your children to watch saturday morning cartoons, as their (sic) can't possibly be any bad messages for them to watch."

Hahahaha! TV as babysitter!
Whatever happened to parents' taking responsibility for the influences on their children?

Let's blame Ellen for the fact that we're too lazy to pay attention to information sources which mold our children's minds from early youth! It's all big, bad, lesbian Ellen's fault!

I'm still angry, though.

You should be. The gay lobby wants nothing mare than to circumvent parental instruction and propogandize children into believeing their bizarre lifestyle is wholesome and decent. What better way than to run ads during Saturday morning cartoons? They will stop at nothing.

[EternalVigilance]

Which network took money to run that ad?

Enquiring minds want to know...

[EternalVigilance]

Ah....Fox...sorry...just sold to Disney/ABC...hmmm....

Was this a national or "local" commericial. Seeing that this commercial was aired to reach South Florida(home of the Boy Scout hating Broward County county board, home of the "swinging chad" voters etc.) I am surmising that this is a "local" buy to make Broward and Palm Beach voters feel good after the defeat of Broward County board.

I agree with you wholeheartedly that this "commericial" has no place on children's programming and it is disgusting how the gay lobby is trying to push this on kids.

I would also write an e-mail or call the local tv station that aired the commercial and say that you will boycott other sponsors that advertise on that station if the airing of the commercials by the HRC continue.

isn't watching TV the same as playing in an open sewer???

mare=more. Too much coffee this morning.

You have Freepmail!

Be careful with cartoon network. My little one and my husband love to watch Tom and Jerry every night. Sometimes they put really gruesome commercial advertising some movie on one of the cable channels, even though we don't have the movie channels, like Nightmare on Elm Street type commercials. From now on, we don't even go to the bathroom and leave him in the room alone with Tom and Jerry, that's how bad tv has gotten.

There is one, and only one reason why the New Butt Order® (NBO) is advertising on saturday morning cartoons:

Homosexuals cannot reproduce, therefore they recruit!

Give me a break. I am 43, and I watched TV cartoons every Saturday morning when I was a kid. My parents did not have to worry about us seeing anything other than cereal ads. Saturday morning was the one time my hard working parents could catch a break from five crazy kids running them ragged. It's no different now, except that now we have to worry about crap like this being fed to our kids during cartoon shows!

My 8 year old watches Fox Kids most Saturdays. Do you get up at 6 am to take your kids to the library? That's when my kids get up, and I am not going to be ashamed that they turn on the TV instead of waking me up at the crack of dawn. I guess I am doomed to watching them grow up to be axe murderers. /sarcasm/

[Prodigal Daughter]

You need the thread posted by Sabertooth about the old cartoons. I can't remember the name though and anyway the archives aren't working.

[Prodigal Daughter]

Do not adjust your monitor...

Must...resist...urge...to...make...sarcastic...remarks...like "that might explain your current condition"

Whew. Glad I resisted the urge. :-)

Sat morning cartoon shows have been filled with crap for decades now. The half-hour toy commercials which pretend to be entertainment shows are a vicious influence on kids, in IMHO. An ad (directed at parents, not kids) which offends your political sensibilities is far less dangerous.

What do you have against guns? :-)
