One Million Moms Vs TV Land

Just in via email:

The main character, posing as a gay preacher, recently hired sight unseen by a church that was aware of his lifestyle choice, but then start to notice other characteristics not typical of a pastor. The previews which air earlier in the evening are including the pastor having extensive knowledge of the quality of drugs and dialogue concerning sexual relations with cantaloupe. The church secretary catches the pastor sleeping around with women and other behaviors not typical of a Christian, much less a pastor.

This show not only depicts pastors in a negative light, but the entire program will also be based on lies about Christianity. TV Land has crossed the line by belittling the Christian faith with foul jokes. We need to send a loud and clear message to advertisers that this kind of programming is insulting and completely unacceptable. TV Land is not ridiculing any other religion currently and wouldn't dream of mocking Mohammed or Muslims.

Christians must take a stand and not be silent. Networks like TV Land continue to mock Christianity, and we will not stand for it. Christians should no longer sit idly by and allow this blasphemy to continue without speaking up in protest. "Impastor" is another attempt to distort the truth about Christianity. There is power in numbers so forward this to everyone you know!

The emails goes on to call for complaints to Red Lobster, which advertised on the debut episode.

One Million Moms Vs Tylenol

What took them so long?

Gay and lesbian couples are featured prominently in Tylenol's new #HowWeFamily campaign, which aims to change the face of the American family. A same sex prom couple and two gay dads with a baby are among those featured in the campaign's first TV ad. A voiceover declares, "Family isn't defined by who you love, but how."

Tylenol is glorifying all modern family types by stating a family is based on love not traditional marriage, and then showing gay couples with their children. One Million Moms believes family is based on love, but this does not justify normalizing sin. 1MM does not agree with the need for Tylenol to support same sex marriages or couples.

Plus, Tylenol recently used a lesbian couple shown nose to nose in a printed magazine ad. It was included in Good Housekeeping June 2015issue on page 21, to name one example. At the bottom of the ad it states that Tylenol is a national corporate partner with the Human Rights Campaign.

Companies should advertise the quality of their products, or in this case, how and when to take a medication and why it works. They should not be highlighting who is attracted to whom or who sleeps with whom. This is a marketing decision Tylenol will regret. This gay-inclusive commercial is attempting to desensitize viewers. There is concern about the way this ad is pushing the LGBT agenda, but an even greater concern is the way that they are attempting to redefine "family."

TAKE ACTION: Please contact Tylenol (owned by Johnson & Johnson) through our website urging them to pull this inappropriate commercial immediately and remain neutral in the culture war. Also, let Tylenol know that continuing to air this ad and other offensive advertisements in the future will force your family to make the decision to no longer purchase Tylenol or Johnson & Johnson products.

Memo to One Million Moms, Brian Brown and Franklin Graham: Johnson & Johnson is ranked at #39 on the Fortune 500 with over $75 billion in sales last year. Among its consumer brands are Activue, Band-Aid, K-Y, Listerine, Rogaine, Rolaids, and Sudafed.

One Million Moms Vs Chobani Yogurt

You knew this was coming.

Chobani should be ashamed of their latest commercial for attempting to normalize sin by featuring two women naked in bed together. The newest commercial for Chobani yogurt has two nude women in bed while one lovingly strokes the other's foot. This commercial not only promotes same sex relationships by including two lesbians, but also same sex marriage because the two women wear matching wedding bands. The ad states, "To Love this Life is to Live it Naturally." There is nothing natural about homosexuality.

What does selling yogurt have to do with gay sex? Nothing at all, but Chobani wants to make the association. One Million Moms continues to stand up for Biblical truth, which is very clear in Romans 1:26-27 about this particular type of sexual perversion.

This ad would be inappropriate for television even if it were a heterosexual couple naked in bed together. There is additional concern about the way this advertisement is pushing the LGBT agenda, but an even greater concern is that the commercial is airing when children are likely watching television. To make matters worse, this advertisement has aired during family programs such as "Full House" on Nickelodeon and "The Willis Family" on TLC.

TAKE ACTION: Please contact Chobani through our website urging them to pull this inappropriate commercial immediately and remain neutral in the culture war. Also, let Chobani know that continuing to air this ad and offensive advertisements in the future will force your family to make the decision to no longer purchase Chobani products.

One Million Moms Vs TV Land

Just in via email:

TV Land calls their new program "Impastor" an irreverend new comedy. Christians are calling it disgusting! "Impastor" is a show set to air July 15 at 10:30 p.m. ET/9:30 p.m. CT that includes a man stealing someone's identity who happens to be a pastor. The main character, posing as a gay preacher, recently hired sight unseen by a church that was aware of his lifestyle choice, but then start to notice other characteristics not typical of a pastor. The previews which air earlier in the evening are including the pastor having extensive knowledge of the quality of drugs and insinuating sexual relations with fruit such as cantaloupe. The church secretary catches the pastor sleeping around with women and other behaviors not typical of a Christian, much less a pastor.

This show not only depicts pastors in a negative light, but the entire program will also be based on lies about Christianity. TV Land has crossed the line by belittling the Christian religion with foul jokes. We need to send a loud and clear message to TV Land, its owner Viacom, and all potential advertisers of "Impastor" that this kind of programming is insulting and completely unacceptable. TV Land is not ridiculing any other religion currently and wouldn't dream of mocking Mohammed or Muslims. If we speak with one voice now, we can keep this program from ever seeing the light of day. Christians must take a stand and not be silent. Networks like TV Land continue to mock Christianity, and we will not stand for it.

The email ends with a call to deluge TV Land with complaints.

One Million Moms Vs Fox Network

Just in via email:

FOX has plans in 2016 to air "Lucifer," a new series which will glorify Satan as a caring, likable person in human flesh. The series will focus on Lucifer portrayed as a good guy, "who is bored and unhappy as the Lord of Hell." He resigns his throne, abandons his kingdom and retires to Los Angeles, where he gets his kicks helping the LAPD punish criminals. At the same time, God's emissary, the angel Amenadiel, has been sent to Los Angeles to convince Lucifer to return to the underworld. Previews of the pilot episode depict graphic acts of violence, a nightclub featuring scantily-clad women and a demon. TAKE ACTION: Sign the petition to FOX Network, urging them to drop plans to air "Lucifer."

The trailer looks pretty good. And Satan is hot.

One Million Moms Vs A&E

Just in via email:

Will audiences want to watch adultery? FYI (owned by A&E) has greenlighted the "Seven Year Switch," an eight-episode series in which married couples put their marriage on the line by shacking up with a "new partner" for a couple weeks. Production is underway for the series to premiere this summer. FYI assumes that seven years of marriage marks the point at which couples become "restless and dissatisfied." In the series, four couples "at a crossroads in their relationship" — FYI did not say if they've all been married seven years — get the chance to shack up with a stranger for two weeks in an "experimental marriage." They will eat, live and, yes, "sleep" with these total strangers, the network said.

This immoral show belittles and makes a mockery of marriage. Take Action: Please contact FYI (owned by A&E) to oppose the new show "Seven Year Switch" and strongly encourage the network to drop all plans to air the program. Let A&E know you and your family will not be watching their network unless this new show is cancelled. The only way to avoid seeing the graphic previews for this immoral program is to no longer watch the network at all. Let them also know you are prepared to join thousands of other voices in urging advertisers to place it on their "do not advertise" list.

Over on Breitbart commenters are loudly calling for a boycott of "those perverts" at A&E, which is, of course, the home to Duck Dynasty.

One Million Moms Vs Schick

Just in via email:

This current Schick Hydro Silk TrimStyle ad is extremely inappropriate and vile, plus it is aired early in the evening when children are likely watching. It is so suggestive it's disgraceful. The commercial shows three women in tiny bikinis standing behind small bushes strategically placed in front of their crotches. Two women then proceed to delicately trim these bushes with scissors. The third woman uses her new Schick razor on the bush. She trims it into the shape of a heart and the other two women stand amazed. The advertisement gives the impression they are trimming and shaping their pubic area because of how the trees are placed. You do not have to imagine much to see the implication.

And to top it all, this commercial is airing on Nickelodeon and ABC Family Channel! 1MM does not approve of either of these networks, but it just shows that Schick has no boundaries as to when and where they will air this garbage. Schick, owned by Energizer Holdings, Inc., needs to know it is not alright to air obscene commercials with highly offensive content, especially when children are likely watching. This is unacceptable! TAKE ACTION: Please contact Schick (Energizer) through our website and ask them to pull their current ad immediately! Also, encourage the company to be more responsible in future marketing campaigns. If the company would like our business, it must no longer air vulgar ads.

One Million Moms Vs Bayer Healthcare

Just in via email:

Dear Joe, The newest Lotrimin commercial has people talking, and not in a good way. This current ad is inappropriate because it clearly implies m*sturbation and is aired early in the evening when children are likely watching. This is unacceptable! The ad features a couple lying in bed when the husband accidently wakes his wife up while he appears to be pleasuring himself. The wife asks, "What are you doing?" as she pulls back the sheets. She then finds him using a long backscratcher to scratch an itch on his foot caused by athlete’s foot. Although the husband is only scratching his foot, the implications are terrible. Lotrimin, owned by Bayer HealthCare, LLC, needs to know it is not alright to air commercials with offensive content, especially when children are likely watching. TAKE ACTION: Please contact Lotrimin (Bayer HealthCare, LLC) through our website and ask them to pull their current ad immediately! Also, encourage them to be more responsible next time they decide on a marketing campaign. If they would like our business, they must no longer air sexually explicit ads.

OMM: Victory Over Wife-Swapping Show

Just in via email:

The first television show to be cancelled for the spring season is "Neighbors With Benefits," thanks to your help! 1MM is praising God that children and adults will no longer be subjected to this broadcasting disaster. It aired at 10:00 p.m. ET (9:00 CT) when teens are likely still awake. And commercials for this program came on at much earlier hours when children of all ages were likely watching. Your emails helped make a difference! 1MM asked A&E network to cancel this degrading and sex-filled program immediately and followed with an email campaign urging sponsors to pull their support. Public outcry and lack of advertisers is the cause for the show's cancellation after only two episodes! Nine one-hour long episodes were filmed. Thankfully, the majority of these will never be aired. Your support is making a HUGE difference! But to continue, 1MM needs prayer and financial support. Please consider making a donation today to help our efforts. Your voice was heard loud and clear again! Keep up the great work!

The truth, of course, is that the show was canceled due to low ratings and shitty reviews.

One Million Moms Vs One Big Happy

Just in via email:

NBC has launched another program attempting to redefine what makes a family. "One Big Happy" is described as a show about best friends Lizzy and Luke who are like family. As kids, they saw each other's parents go through divorce and have ever since formed an inseparable bond. Now, all grown up and still single, they've decided to start a family of their own, but in a non-traditional way. Lizzy, who is a lesbian, wants to raise a child with Luke by her side. Then one night, Luke falls for Prudence, a free-spirited British girl who's due to go back to England in a matter of days. Then, just as Lizzy discovers that she's actually pregnant, Luke announces that he and Prudence have gotten married - and in an instant, a different kind of family is born.

NBC's "One Big Happy" is attempting to desensitize America and our children. This new show is damaging to our culture and harmful to our society for a number of reasons. This program glamorizes one night stands, n-dity, homosexuality, and foul language (such as v-gina and b-tch). 1MM is prepared to contact sponsors of "One Big Happy" requesting they pull financial support from the program. It is proven this strategy works! It was not too long ago that NBC announced "The New Normal" had been canceled after only one season because of lack of advertisers! Please use the information we have provided to contact Synsodyne (GlaxoSmithKline) and ask they pull their financial support from "One Big Happy."

Ellen DeGeneres is one of the show's executive producers.

One Million Moms Vs Spirit Airlines

I literally shouted "HOORAY!" when this came in just now. Scared the cat.

Spirit Airlines ads often use distasteful marketing choices. For example, there is also their Bare Fare ad. The script for that ad goes: "Our fares are unbundled: no 'free' bag, no 'free' drink. From the start, it's just you're a_s + gas and a personal item." That included an image of a stick figure covering its privates as though not wearing any clothes. Yesterday, they went too far with their latest perversion and launched their "69" ad. It’s a shame an airline would advertise in such a way when families fly on their airlines. This time they have outdone themselves with a disgusting ad. The entire marketing campaign is horrible. This suggestive advertisement is offensive and completely inappropriate. TAKE ACTION: Please use the information we have provided on our website to contact Spirit Airlines urging they pull this offensive 69 ad campaign immediately!

See the full text of the ad at my post from yesterday.

One Million Moms Vs Toilet Paper

Just in via email:

In Cottonelle's newest advertising campaign "Dare to Go Commando," a company spokeswoman asks individuals if they feel cleaner after using Cottonelle because of the ripple texture. The Cottonelle spokeswoman goes so far as to ask another woman if she feels clean enough to go commando now. The woman agrees and walks back into the restroom to return with her undies in a small shopping bag. The commercial ends with both women pulling down the waistbands of their pants just enough to reveal they don't have panties on. Cottonelle is encouraging consumers to go without underwear. Oh, please! This is ridiculous. This type of advertising is extremely inappropriate. The tissue paper company also has a similar ad, "Go Cottonelle. Go Commando." In this ad, the spokeswoman asks a man to go commando, and it ends the same way. TAKE ACTION: Please email Cottonelle and ask the company to put a stop to this marketing campaign and cancel the "Commando" ads immediately.

One Million Moms Vs Sports Illustrated

Just in via email:

The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue is nothing but soft p-rn and most closely resembles Pl-yboy magazine than resembling an issue about swimming attire. This soft core p-rnography is displayed in many family stores, often at checkout counters which is offensive, disgusting, and disrespectful to families. This type of publishing is also extremely degrading to women. Families should be able to enter supermarkets, convenience and drug stores without being subjected to indecency. Since Sports Illustrated is pushing p-rnography, this magazine needs to be removed from stores immediately. Not only should Sports Illustrated be ashamed, but so should the stores that carry this filthy magazine. Why would a store risk hurting their reputation of being a family-friendly store by being associated with this dishonorable publication?

The email goes on to tell OMM supporters to pull a copy of the magazine from its rack and take it to a store manager with the promise that they'll never come back if they see future issues of Sports Illustrated on display.

One Million Moms Vs Sex Box

Just in via email:

On February 27, the WE tv network (owned by AMC Networks) will televise real-life couples having sex for a national television audience. Based on a U.K. show of the same name, "Sex Box" goes where no other reality show has gone when its participants enter a soundproof box on stage, have sex, and then discuss their "intimacy issues" with a panel of so-called experts, all in front of a live studio audience! If this boundary is crossed, then what reality show will be produced next to out do this one?

When you sign our petition today, 1MM will communicate your message, and that of millions of other concerned parents and grandparents just like you, to the network and advertisers. The more voices we have, the louder we can speak out to stop "Sex Box." A live sex show on TV is something that might show up on a premium cable network. But WE tv is bringing that content to basic cable and potentially exposing millions of children in the process. Add your voice today! Your support will help One Million Moms stop this disgraceful new show from entering the American television lineup. If this program airs, then there will likely be copycats on other networks in the near future.

Dan Savage appeared on the 2013 British version. Below is the first episode of that series, which features a gay couple using into the box.

One Million Moms Vs Carl's Jr.

Just in via email:

Carl's Jr. and Hardee's, both owned by CKE Restaurants, are at it again by using sex to sell burgers. Their new ad is extremely inappropriate to air at any time, but especially while families are likely watching. Their "All-Natural" commercial will surely ruin family time once again. The commercial that will be shown at the Super Bowl features a woman who appears to be naked as she walks through a farmer’s market. This is as close to complete nudity as you can get because she appears to be nude until the end when she is in full view wearing a string bikini top and tiny shorts while eating a hamburger from Carl's Jr. The only indication of who sponsored this ad is in the final few seconds of the commercial. Carl's Jr. and Hardee's regularly bank on the sex sells philosophy. There is no need for a burger to be promoted by sex appeal, and this advertising ploy is why 1MM will not give up. TAKE ACTION: Please contact Carl's Jr. (CKE Restaurants) through our website and ask them to pull their Super Bowl ad immediately! Also encourage them to be more responsible next year if they choose to run ads during the Super Bowl again. If they would like our support, they must no longer air sexually explicit ads.

One Million Moms Vs Pop Tarts

Just in via email:

Dear Joe, Kellogg's new Pop Tart commercial includes a double entendre that is inappropriate and unnecessary. Foul language or the implication of it is not needed in this commercial, but that is exactly what Kellogg's intended with their play on words.

The animated commercial has a mom pop tart and a dad pop tart admiring their newborn baby pop tart at the hospital nursery when a nurse walks in. The dialogue includes: "He so has your peanut butter. Well, he's got your jelly." Then the nurse, while rubbing her hands together ready to devour the baby pop tart, says, "Time for a feeding." The parents say, "No! Ah, Jam It!" The advertisement could have ended with "No!" but Kellogg's chose to include a phrase that sounded just like a curse word.

Kellogg's should be more responsible in their marketing decisions. Let them know that as a parent and consumer you are offended the company cares more about financial gain than the impression made on our children. Kellogg's executives apparently don't care about what children hear as long as it puts money in their pockets. Everyone knows kids repeat what they hear. This is weak marketing, and Kellogg's should have the corporate responsibility to not use an age old euphemism that offends families.

A replacement clip in which the final line is bleeped was posted yesterday to the Pop Tarts channel. The bleeped version makes it seem more like the mom is saying "Oh, shit!" The original below (left) was posted to the channel of an ad agency.

One Million Moms Vs Discovery Channel

Just in via email:

The show "Naked And Afraid" has cast members who are dropped in the jungle with no food, no shelter and no clothes. The two humans selected, one male and one female, must work as a team but they have never met before in their lives. The program shows them stripped naked, blurring out frontal body parts but never blurring out their backsides. Even though the frontal body parts are blurred out, showing so much skin is considered soft porn. In cold temperatures, they must survive by using each other's body heat, pressing their bare bodies together to keep warm.

The network has decided that a five-hour marathon of "Naked And Afraid" on Wednesday is a good idea. This decision to air a program full of nudity from the time school lets out until time for bed is harmful to the cast members and their families, and to all children and families that happen to view the show. This ultimate sexual exploitation of families is disturbing and inexcusable. Discovery Channel has lost its moral compass and should be ashamed to air nudity and call it entertainment. This program needs to be canceled immediately. Previews and promos for this show air all throughout the day and on many other networks.

The email calls on OMM supporters to deluge Delta Faucet and Mars Inc. with threats of a boycott unless they pull all advertising from Naked And Afraid, which "must be canceled immediately."

RELATED: In their 2014 recap press release, One Million Moms claimed to have waged boycott campaigns against over 30 network programs and dozens of those shows' advertisers.

OMM Issues Year-End Money Beg

"As we draw near to the end of 2014, I want to express my appreciation for the support you have shown to us. One Million Moms continues to stand up for traditional and Christian values in our culture. The Lord is using ordinary people like you and me to make a huge difference! If we do not say something, then who will? Here is a summary of One Million Moms’ remarkable victories in 2014. Please click here since there are too many to list in this email. Praise the Lord! These accomplishments are the result of the Lord's blessing on our collective actions. Our mission is important and will be needed even more next year than it was this year as the world will only become darker. We may not win all the battles, but there is hope because we will win some, as evidenced by our 2014 accomplishments. I sure don't want to surrender our country without a fight, and I know you don't either. Would you help us to continue these important efforts? We depend heavily on year-end donations. Your tax deductible and confidential end-of-the-year gift is greatly needed for 1MM to start the New Year with adequate resources to remain strong! 1MM can never thank you enough for your generosity, but we will always try." - Hate group leader Monica Cole, via email.

NOTE: The above-linked recap claims that OMM financially damaged over two dozen network television shows by intimidating advertisers.

One Million Moms: Harass Kohl's Over Ads During How To Get Away With Murder

Just in via email:

Dear Joe, ABC's creepy program "How To Get Away With Murder" did not end with the finale since it is now airing the season all over again. New episodes will begin on January 29 and in the meantime the network plans to air reruns - unless 1MM can intervene. This show is about more than murder and violence. There is a whole slew of sins in this series that the network calls entertainment. This program has included assault and murder on several occasions, as well as graphic heteros-xual and homos-xual s-x scenes on a p-rn-graphic level, foul language, mockery of Jesus Christ and Christians, s-x with a minor (statutory r-pe), adultery and marital affairs. This series pushes casual s-x as acceptable, even when with multiple partners or encounters in public places. This wicked show has many dark images including a rotting corpse, dead bodies and other gore. Even though the program airs on Thursday evenings at 10PM, it is not late enough for the violent, twisted plot and s-nsual scenes that are completely soft p-rn.

The email concludes with a call to harass Kohl's via phone, email, and social media until the retailer no longer advertises during the show. Last week One Million Moms sent out a celebratory end-of-year message which trumpeted the group's boycott campaigns against 23 network shows.

One Million Moms: We Censored Dozens Of Anti-Christian Shows In 2014

Just in via email:  

As we draw near to the end of 2014, I want to express my appreciation for the support you have shown to us. One Million Moms continues to stand up for traditional and Christian values in our culture. The Lord is using ordinary people like you and me to make a huge difference! If we do not say something, then who will? Here is a summary of One Million Moms’ remarkable victories in 2014. One Million Moms protested numerous inappropriate programs by letting the network know why 1MM supporters would not be watching and asking sponsors to pull their support. One of these shows was the blasphemous, profanity-filled show Black Jesus.

Over a dozen sponsors pulled their financial support from that program. Other programs that lost financial support after sponsors were contacted by 1MM were: Mistresses, Satisfaction, About A Boy, Moms, Good Luck Charlie, Bad Teacher, Dracula, Dads, The Cleveland Show, The Client List, 2 Broke Girls, My Five Wives, How To Get Away With Murder, and ABC Family Channel shows such as The Fosters, Young and Hungry, and Mystery Girls. Bad Teacher, The Client List, The Cleveland Show, Dads, Mystery Girls and Dracula were all canceled, many surviving only one season. Lack of advertisers played a huge part in the cancellation of these shows. 1MM member activism and pressure on advertisers and networks helped drive the decision to cancel.

One Million Moms is particular proud that Care.com pulled their advertising from the Disney Channel after Good Luck Charlie aired an episode featuring a family with two moms.

REMINDER: When powerful national Christian groups with millions of members call for boycotts, that is a righteous use of the free market in order to preserve morality, marriage, family, and the American way. But when gay folks call for a boycott, THAT is homofascist intimidation, intolerance, bullying, economic terrorism, a stifling of religious liberty, and an attempt to deny the freedom of speech. And don't you forget it.
