"Boycotting the sleaze-balls!"
There was a program yesterday on TV that showed
the international winners of all the "favorite" TV commercials. Many of
the "winners" were from Belgium, Norway and other countries, including
the US. What struck me is that about 90% of the winning "picks" were commercials
filled with violence and sexually explicit material that would have been
considered so gross as to be classified as X-rated ten years ago.
Some were truly disgusting! There was even a news story about the CEO of
V. Secret (lingerie) saying that they were going to "tone down" their commercials
- that they believed they were too racy and perhaps that was why their
business was suffering. Uh-huh - their conscience finally pricking them
- is that it? I believe that the conservative voice of Christianity should
start standing up and boycotting the people who make the obscene commercials
and their products! And the promoters of this filth! Enough-is-enough!
