We know it is going on and this only encourages it. It is not being hypocritical. We are going after one of the causes, the immorality forced on us via TV.

Personally, I find it reprehensible that the WB is putting this on TV.

Then simply change the channel or turn your TV off when this offensive show comes on. . Better yet, if you feel “the immorality forced on us via TV” perhaps you should not be allowed to own one.

Personally I find censorship more reprehensible than any show on any network. The on/off button still works on my TV remote.

I agree. Don’t watch it and tell others not to watch it. How would you like it if they started censoring or asking to get rid of Catholic shows and Networks? People have a choice to watch what they please. It is your decision to tune in and watch it or not to tune in or watch it.

Simply put, by giving it publicity and creating controversy you will only feed to their ratings…

Average Joe: Hmm… let us see what that show that those darn Christians are fighting about.

Inquiring minds want to know!

On the other hand, what if no reaction causes them to push the envelope even further?

Agreed. Just changing the channel is the same as ignoring it and hoping it goes away. Sounds like the same thing some are accusing us of concerning the problem.

Not only should we complain to the network, but contact WB’s advertisers (especially on the local level). If they know we are angry about this an will not buy their product because they advertise on the WB, maybe there will be enough pressure to have the program axed. It is time to get militant and push back.

Media must be a responsible agent and work within community standards. Gettting garbage off TV is not censorship. It is a violation of community standards.

Keep telling it for Jesus.
 
I’m tired of people using Television, the internet and books as a crutch for what is truly the problem. Bad parenting! That is the problem with society today.

I grew up in NYC, one of the most diverse and perverse cities in the US. There were porn shops all over, there were drugs all over. Gangs, crime, abortions and corruption, you name it was there. I was raised by a single mother, who busted her behind because my real father was a junkie and bailed out. She would leave the house at 6 am and come back at 6 pm. I watched plenty of shows on TV that were considered “immoral” Guess what? My mother would come home, ask to see our notebooks, see if we did our homework, and ask us what we did, what did we see on the television. Then she would tell us “This is wrong because of this…” LESSON LEARNED!

I learned to curse, get bad habits from friends, not television. Where did they learn? Listening to their parent’s filthy mouths. The difference between me and my friends is that my mother was there for me. My friends had no one looking over what they did. And the majority of them had both parents who were home all day, living off the welfare system. Most of them are dead, in prison or heavily into drugs. My mother showed me alternatives to the streets, instilled values and discipline. My mother showed me what was right and what was wrong, to respect women, my fellow human beings. My mother took the time out to educate me and lead me to what is right and what is wrong.

I’m pretty sure the AIDS epidemic in Brazil (Very Catholic) is due to provocative Television? Heck, I doubt a lot of those people in have plumbing, let alone a television. I’m pretty sure the violence in the Middle East is due to Television? I’m pretty sure the drug cartels in Mexico (VERY CATHOLIC COUNTRY, MIND YOU) watched some movies, read books, surfed the internet and were influenced by them to go out and sell drugs, kidnap people, enslave people and exploit people.

In Europe and Japan the television networks push the envelope way farther than the US Networks. I don’t see the crime, drug use and sexually transmitted disease statistics in those countries that I see here in the US.

Why are gang memberships up in the US? Ask any kid in a gang. Why are you in a gang? They will reply “Because these people are like my family. They show me love, they look out for me. My parents don’t give an F about me; they don’t even acknowledge I am there” not “because MTV, CNN and the WB glorified it”

I’ve never heard anyone say “I joined a gang because Television glorified it” or “I had sex because television said it was cool”

Why do girls get abortions in the ghetto? Because they have no value for their lives, let alone anyone else’s. Same with gang members and drug dealers when they turn to crimes such as assault and murder. NO VALUE FOR HUMAN LIVES. The majority of those people, don’t go to school, are out in the streets until 1, 2, 3 am. Where is there time for television?

Get with the times people. Take that veil of ignorance from your eyes. Education and nurturing begins in the home. Not in the school, TV, radio, internet and books. We live in a society that resembles the jungle. I’ll feed you and nurture you until you are able to walk and fend for yourselves. Then it is up to you to not fall prey to the predators out there" We all know what happens in the jungle.

A kid shoots up his school. We go after the GUN companies or blame Hollywood, or blame ROCK MUSIC and RAP MUSIC. 15 year old Jane Doe from Suburbia sits on the computer all day, while her parents ignore her. She chats all day in the chatrooms. Some guy tells her come meet me here at said time. Little Jane Doe agrees, goes and meets the man and disappears. Little Jane Doe is found weeks later dead in some ditch. Where were Jane Doe’s parents through all that? Why aren’t they blamed? But no! It is the internet’s fault, because if the internet was not there. She would still be alive. Wonderful thinking there.

I’m pretty sure if they passed a law where parents would be accountable for anything their children/teens did or anything that happened to their children due to their negligence with heavy fines and or jail time, those things would be totally different.

I speak from experience, I’ve seen it, felt it, heard it, and lived it. I am not speaking from some secluded area, suburbia or a farm.

I don’t knock any of you for wanting to make aware to the public the evils of television or any other form of media. That is wonderful. It is a good cause. Though it falls short and is all in vain. Why? Because it is only a selected few who give two craps about it.

Take for instance things like the parental guidance warnings, the V-Chip, the inclusion of passwords in television sets and cable boxes. What good is all that technology and information if PARENTS themselves do not enforce them or utilize them?
 
There is a very clear connection between how kids act and what is on TV/Radio. Infact that is where the middle-income, non-innner- city, mom-at-home-and-dad-at-work, children are influenced the most, they see it on TV and learn. True the mainstream secular parents dont help in the equation, but so much new **** that the parents have never heard of come out every week on TV for the kids to see.

I dont thing anyone will be able to stop this show but its a clear sign that TV is not worth watching anymore. Its God’s way of helping us leave those things and not care about them anymore. I saw how lousy “professional” sports stars play and how lousy games have gotten, its God’s way of getting me to not waste another weekend watching sports and its working. Same thing with 99% of TV shows, the truth is they are dumb, boring, unoriginal and not funny at all. SNL got so absurd I dont even think about it anymore, I wait for British comedy on PBS on Sat night and its very funny and original and PG level.

People are starting to wake up and see the worthless acting, writing, shows, etc and having an easy time breaking away.

Oh. So it wasn’t a problem when all these things were happening in the inner city in the 70s, 80s and early 90s. But it became a problem and is a problem when it started and is infiltrating Suburbia and Country today?

I don’t have chips on my shoulder and I don’t play the race card issue either. I’m just stating what I see and hear. This isn’t the first time in this forum where people only concern themselves when it starts affecting their neighborhoods, and their children.

But when the city kids (predominantly blacks and hispanics) were doing drugs and killing each other no one gave a **** about it. Now that it is affecting and infiltrating suburbia (predominantly white), everyone wants to join together hold hands and point fingers.

Again… it is a crock. It falls on the parent’s lap. Not Television. Parent’s both Christian and Non-Christian need to be aware of their children’s actions and what is out there that can hurt their children. Even if it is Television, then they need to know and educate themselves so that they can educate their children. You just don’t have kids, feed them, clothe them and let them be.

You have to always be ready for whatever evils are out there and protect your children from it. There will always be evil in this world. There is no getting rid of it. It comes in many different forms. So you get rid of one evil, it will manifest itself in another. Satan has the power to corrupt anything and everything.

You did it again! WB to clean up 'The Bedford Diaries’

The WB planned to air *The Bedford Diaries*, a show focusing on the sex lives of students in a New York college Human Behavior and Sexuality seminar.
As a result of your efforts, the WB network has now decided the show is too sexually explicit for television! Why? Because they feared that you will follow through with a promise to file formal FCC indecency complaints against their stations!

In a statement by WB chairman Garth Ancier, he said:

“The WB takes its responsibility as a broadcast network very seriously and we have always been mindful of the FCC’s indecency rules. While we believe that the previous uncut version of “The Bedford Diaries” is in keeping with those rules, out of an abundance of caution, we decided to make some additional minor changes to the premiere episode of the series, which is set to debut next Wednesday, March 28.” There is no question that you’re personal involvement resulted in the WB’s announcing their decision to edit the most illicit scenes from the show. Thank you!

I truly believe we are making a difference. If you agree, would you consider helping us continue our work and research? Our expenses are very high, but we are committed to continue the work of protecting our children from offensive television. If possible, we’d appreciate knowing you are behind our work. We’ve set up a site, so you can make a small financial donation to help continue the work.
