AFA sending offensive video to their subscriber list!(NBC Las Vegas)
Edited on Thu Feb-09-06 05:08 PM by tanyev
NBC Does It Again! Vulgar, Tasteless, Indecent Scene Part Of Network Program

We Urge You To File A Formal Complaint With The FCC
Dear xxxxx,

The February 6 episode of NBC's Las Vegas contained a scene inside a strip club. The content of that scene was extremely graphic. We have provided a video of the scene below.


:rofl: It is SO graphic that they have sent the video to all the good fundies who get their email!


NBC aired this scene during prime-time hours when they knew millions of children would likely be watching. But NBC didn't care if they exposed children to this kind of material. Please take action below and help us help our children.

The FCC has several new commissioners who have spoken out about the content of some television programs. They have invited the public to send them their complaints.

Rather than trying to describe it to you, I would rather you watch it yourself. After watching the video, please follow the instructions to file your official complaint with the FCC. It will only take a couple of minutes to file the complaint. Do it for your children and grandchildren. After you file your complaint, please forward this to friends and family.

WARNING: This scene taken from the NBC program Las Vegas is highly offensive.

Click here to watch the scene.

And, of course, the obligatory:

If you think our efforts are worthy of support, would you make a small contribution to AFA by clicking here.

Thanks for caring enough to get involved.
Sincerely,
Don

Donald E. Wildmon, Founder and Chairman
American Family Association

P.S. Please forward this e-mail message to your family and friends!


Yes, PLEASE send this offensive video to all your family and friends. Omigod, what if a child opens the email and sees the video???? Won't someone please think about the children?

1. Unlicensed redistribution of copyrighted material
Edited on Thu Feb-09-06 05:09 PM by TechBear_Seattle
Sounds like a criminal act to me. And with the intent to commit extortion against NBC. Hmm... the American Family Association commits theft of intellectual property and engages in racketeering. Color me surprised.

2. My mom once got on Jerry Falwell's mailing list, back in the 80s.
She got a mailing from them about the homosexual agenda, which contained an envelope that was to only be opened if you understood you may be offended. It contained a picture of two men kissing.

I used their link to the FCC to file the following:

Federal Communications Commission
445 12th St, S.W.
Complaints and Political Programming Branch
Enforcement Division, Mass Media Bureau
Washington, DC 20554

This is a formal COMPLAINT regarding abuse of the FCC Complaint process.

NETWORK: NBC and affiliate stations

PROGRAM TITLE: "Las Vegas" which was broadcast on:

BROADCAST DATE: February 6, 2006

BROADCAST TIME: 9:00PM Eastern /Pacific, 8:00PM Central/Mountain

The American Family Associaition, an organization of morally bankrupt, ethically dead right wing freaks, abuses the complaint process to the FCC by getting its knickers in a bunch over programming that they don't even have to watch.

The American Family Association is a gang of ugly little fascists whose sole goal is to establish a theocratic state in which it dicates what other Americans may and may not watch. As such, the American Family Association clearly despises freedom of speech as well as the tenets of the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.

Clearly, the American Family Association is in violation of the Federal anti-spam act, and all communications coming from its servers should be blocked at the FCC

Here is the sort of foolishness these mouth-breathers get upset about:

On February 6, 2006, NBC broadcast “Las Vegas.” One scene depicted the inside of a strip club. During the broadcast of this scene, numerous females were shown dancing in a sexually explicit manner. Included were close-up shots of female buttocks, clearly showing rear nudity.

In another pose, one female dancer was rubbing her breasts in a sexually explicit manner.

In yet another pose, a female was performing a “lap dance” with a customer.

Interestingly, I've never known the American Family Association to complain about depictions of murder, war, death or torture. That's probably because they're so sick and sadistic that they enjoy that sort of thing.

Any complaint from the American Family Association should be ignored as the ravings of a gang of weird little America-hating thugs.


COMPLAINANT RESPECTFULLY REQUESTS THAT THE FCC ACKNOWLEDGE RECEIPT OF THIS COMPLAINT, AND THAT THE FCC KEEP ME INFORMED OF THE PROGRESS AND RESULTS OF YOUR INVESTIGATION INTO THIS MATTER.

9. Okay, so I've got the clip on a continuous loop...
But how do I make Windows Media Player re-download the clip every time it plays, rather than keeping it in my buffer?

You know, just in case the file may be corrupted or something. ;P

Hard to tell just how offensive it is unless you watch it, oh, at least 30-40 times.

8. Okay, so let's see if The AFA actually delivers the "complaint" I sent...
Here is the entirety of the message I sent through the AFA complaint form:

Federal Communications Commission
445 12th St, S.W.
Complaints and Political Programming Branch
Enforcement Division, Mass Media Bureau
Washington, DC 20554

This is a formal COMPLAINT of indecency on broadcast television. My complaint concerns the PROGRAM ON: Television

NETWORK: NBC and affiliate stations

STATION CALL LETTERS: TV

PROGRAM TITLE: "Las Vegas" which was broadcast on: Television

BROADCAST DATE: February 6, 2006

BROADCAST TIME: 9:00PM Eastern /Pacific, 8:00PM Central/Mountain

During this brawdcast of Las Vagis, a colored girl flashed her nipples and put a pineapple with a talking sponge up all inside Paris Hillten's vajina.

Then an Apiscapill Preest had a conversashin with Our Lord and Saver Jesus Christ inside his car about his son about a cooking show called "Cruci-fixins."

This program is lude and vulger. I ain't seen none a it, but The American Family Association has e-maled the clip too me so I can be offended and let you know that we need to git 'r done and get this fillth off the air.

Yours in Christ,

Richard Pinch

COMPLAINANT RESPECTFULLY REQUESTS THAT THE FCC ACKNOWLEDGE RECEIPT OF THIS COMPLAINT, AND THAT THE FCC KEEP ME INFORMED OF THE PROGRESS AND RESULTS OF YOUR INVESTIGATION INTO THIS MATTER.

PS:
*GIT R DONE!!!*

Here it is:

Federal Communications Commission

I am so sick of the AFA trying to dictate what is and isn't "decent"

Who the heck made them the judge and jury?

I am filing a counter protest to the AFA protest of the show Vegas!

Maybe some others should do the same kind of thing!

19. My letter:
This is a formal COMPLAINT of fascism in America. My complaint concerns the AFA.

NETWORK: Yes, they do, a lot.

STATION CALL LETTERS: AFA.

PROGRAM TITLE: AFA email spam.

BROADCAST DATE: Every damn day.

BROADCAST TIME: When its inconvienent.

Hi NBC Folks!

I think Las Vegas is a kickass show. Kudos to you! I watched the episode these neo-nazi facist AFA dildos are complaining about, and I have to tell you, the so-called "offensive" strip club scene was pretty tame. I've seen more skin on the Disney Channel.

I sincerely hope that you have someone at NBC who checks out the source of all complaints before taking them seriously. There are just tons of wacko extremist religious nuts like these AFA kooks out there in the world. I'd hate to see you guys chasing your tails over a so-called "massive influx" of complaints, only to later find out that they are all from anal-retentive sexless idiots who hate America like the AFA.

Remember, the First Amendment backs YOU, not THEM. And anyone that is against the Constitution like the AFA, are a traitors and a terrorists! And the USA does NOT give in to the demands of terrorists !

Peace out, NBC!

20.  Relatively guilt-free stroke material for the nutbags.
Edited on Fri Feb-10-06 12:57 AM by Kurovski
Good. Help relieve some of that aggression.

But I've got to say: this is how those people get their way. They are massively organised.

It's why Rove became a big ol' whore to them. It's why he spread his pale flabby legs and bid them enter.

He worked his tits off to get a lapdance off those twisted chuckleheads.

And he got it.

Now, we have a consituancy of progressives at least as large as the right-wing extremists (RWers who are indeed out of the mainstream).

What will it take for Dems to draw on us? We represent the needs and protection of ALL Americans. So what gives?

I ask the DLC, what the fuck gives? Huh?

22. When was the last time these groups
protested all the blood, guts, and organs seen on all the criminal investigation dramas on during prime time?

Not that I'm complaining about them, mind you...I watch them myself.

24. WooHoo Damn! That clip gave me a stiffie, and I'm GAY!
Edited on Fri Feb-10-06 02:49 AM by Beam Me Up


Maybe if I'd seen more stuff like that on TV when I was a kid, I'D HAVE TURNED OUT STRAIGHT!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

on edit: I'd never really thought of that before. CHRISTIANITY MADE ME GAY!!

I swear this is true. When I was a little boy I got such a talking to from both my parents but particularly my mother who was pretty fundamentalist in her beliefs (this was in the 1950s) abut sex with girls, that I promised God that I would not have sex with girls so long as he would allow me to enjoy my orgasms by myself and with other boys. Later on when my thinking got a bit more sophisticated, I understood that one of the reasons other boys my age wanted to 'play around' with me was not because I was a boy, per set, but because I was a 'girl substitute'. They weren't allowed to play with girls in that way and even though this, too, was taboo, it wasn't as 'threatening' in a certain way. Later still, of course, these straight boys who played around, would go on and fulfill their straight destiny. Who knows how many of them also have secret, closeted lives they hide from their families.

I think this is the first time I've ever made this connection. What I said isn't literally true, Christianity did not literally make me gay, but its messages about sex did not address the reality of being a hormoned up male in this society. It's a no win for losing situation for everyone.

to snort up your nose so you can get higher than a kite. If you think our efforts are worthy of support, please make a "contribution" to the AFA.
