Fox is getting bolder in pushing the most offensive content imaginable into our homes through the foul animated comedy, Family Guy. Recent episodes have used for comic fodder prison rape (after a short term in prison, Meg returns home and gets into the shower with her father and sodomizes him with a loofah), and the tragic struggle and death of Terri Schiavo (school children sing, "Terri Schiavo is kind of alive-oh. What a lively little bugger … Terri Schiavo is kind of alive-oh, the most expensive plant you’ll ever see.") But the episode that aired March 14th hit an all-time low by implying that all fathers are sexually attracted to their daughters. The episode also included a mother trying to seduce her daughter’s teenaged boyfriend, and a dog coming-on to an infant.
This content is indefensible, and any corporation that willingly underwrites it must be held to account.
Will you take five minutes to voice your disapproval of this content to YUM! Brands, one of the most prolific sponsors of Family Guy‘s wretched content.
This content would not be possible without the support of companies willing to advertise on Family Guy. Companies like YUM! Brands (the parent company of Pizza Hut, KFC, and Taco Bell) are tacitly endorsing this content by choosing to pay for it with their advertising dollars. They need to hear from you! They need to know that as a consumer, you will weigh their corporate values against the corporate values of their competitors when you make your purchasing decisions.
Family Guy‘s creator Seth MacFarlane loves to scream about his "First Amendment rights"…but YOU have rights, too! You own the broadcast airwaves, and should have some say in what comes into your home over those airwaves.
If you’re sick and tired of Fox’s filth, you can TAKE ACTION NOW! Contact YUM! Brands today and ask them to stop underwriting this kind of content with their advertising dollars.
