Guest Guest Posted June 22, 2003 Share Posted June 22, 2003 PARENTS TELEVISION COUNCIL CALL TO ARMS ! PLEASE READ AND IMMEDIATELY FORWARD THIS EMAIL TO YOUR FRIENDS & FAMILY!!! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Re: New TV Outrage...Your Action Needed 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!!! 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. Apologies, again, for asking you to read this, but here's the 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." Can you believe this? This is one of the sickest things ever broadcast on a major TV network -- and it was aired at 9 o'clock in the evening when millions of youngsters were watching. Remember, this didn't come from some pay-per-view cable porn channel. It was on the Fox broadcast network, which means it was available to children in virtually every household in America. Please help the Parents Television Council stop such outrages. Here's how: 1. Go to http://www.parentstv.org/actionalert/keeneddie.asp 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 at http://www.parentstv.org/actionalert/keeneddie.asp , 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 http://www.parentstv.org/actionalert/keeneddie.asp to file your FCC INDECENCY COMPLAINT and to generate your WARNING TO SPONSORS. This is how, TOGETHER, 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 E-MAIL TO YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY NOW SO THEY CAN JOIN THE FIGHT. Thank you. Quote Link to comment
Goose Liver Posted June 22, 2003 Share Posted June 22, 2003 Oh my goodness, that;s horrible Happy Girl.. we don't get that show here in Canada, at least not that I know of... Quote Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted June 22, 2003 Share Posted June 22, 2003 Happygirl, did you see this show for yourself or did you get this information in an E-mail? Frankly I'm having a hard time believing this garbage got pass the censors..... If it did get pass, something has to be done about it... I honestly didn't finish reading the rest of it, too trashy.... Quote Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 Hi everybody...Mayjobie, no I did not watch the show...my DH subscribes to parents television council, and gets stuff like this. The reason that I didn't watch the show (or had any interest in it at all), is because of their commercials. In one of them they insinuate that a dog is having sex with a cat. I'm sorry to be so blunt, but I have to say that it deeply offends me when I am watching the news or something relatively fine or watching TV with our DD and these commercials come around. We have gotten other things from this place (PTC) that have been true, so I haven't had reason to mistrust them yet. But, I'll look into it further...I'll see what I can come up with. Cat is usually really good at finding out about things like this... Sorry that that it was sooooo trashy...I apologize, but I feel that if we close our eyes and ignore it, it will get worse instead of going away. Will see what else I can find out about it...

Guest Guest Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 Well, the best I could find was a review of it...just to clarify, this is NOT my view... Here it is: I'm starting to realize that Keen Eddie isn't the serious cop drama that it was made out to be! Instead, it's one roller coaster ride. Drama, comedy, action... an eccentric British cop with blonde hair... yeah, it's one colorful series. And, this episode took little time to start "horsing" around, so to speak. Eddie investigates some horses! Yep, horses. A particular champion horse, whose semen proves to be valuable, is stolen. Eddie comes across a trio of familiar faces (they kidnapped Eddie in last week's show). This is how the story plays out (along with the help of two brothers-in-law, who fight constantly). A lot of comedy is used in this episode, and it seems that they don't have the perfect blend yet. Hopefully, these three won't be the centre stagers of each and every episode. And, Fiona's boyfriend wasn't just annoying to Fiona. He was overdone, and over the top, in a bad way. And, side note on Fiona: she was hot in the first episode, but man!! She seemed to get more beautiful this time around! Eddie is more relaxed, which is good, and Pippin is too weird for words. Overall, this was a satisfying episode, and the scene with the "40-year-old Filthy Slut" was a must-see for these lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer. Grade: B+ Quote Link to comment

Guest Guest Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 Sorry, I was up late the night before and got up early tuesdy so I fell asleep about 7:30 and forgot all about it. I'm just not used to watching Fox network and it slipped my mind... Quote Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 Dang, and I thought the Simpsons was questionable. I've never heard of Keen Eddie, thank goodness. Quote Link to comment
