Advertiser withdrawal from CBS sleaze show [and some feedback] Advertiser withdrawal – Overstock.comDear M.. We have decided that we will not be running our ads on this show again. Regards, Jonathan Johnson SVP, Corporate Affairs Overstock.com To express appreciation to overstock.com email: jjohnson@overstock.com Arby's, though, gives "business as usual" response: Dear Arby’s Friend, We’re disappointed to learn of your dissatisfaction with placement of Arby’s commercials in programs that don’t meet with your approval.

Very truly yours, Arby’s Customer Relations =========== CBS show synopsis “Swingtownâ€Â: CBS launches one of the worst … https://americandecency.org/main.php?f=updates_new/2008/June/06.10.08 Advertiser list includes: Chili's, Aleve, Oxi-Clean, Hyundai. Volkswagen… Advertiser link: https://americandecency.org/main.php?f=updates_new/2008/June/06.05a.08 ============================ One person's letter to advertisers: I am disgusted that … would even consider sponsoring a program like CBS' "Swingtown". Do you have ANY idea what this program will promote? Openly displayed? "Open Marriage" ('everybody's doing it!') orgies, drug use – and this is a program that will air in prime time? Sponsorship of a program usually indicates that you are endorsing that program … I have to wonder if your stock holders realize where you are spending their money! Shameful! Do you really want to be part of the destruction of so many lives? Oceanside, CA ========================== One person's counsel to the body of Christ: Another reason why I disconnected my TV. If all those who claim Christ as Savior would disconnect their TV we might start getting wholesome TV. My Bible teaches that we are a NEW creation in Christ–why are so many holding on to the old junk. Thanks for being out on the front lines. Lord Bless you. ================== Thank you for helping us stay in the battle for Truth and decency. https://americandecency.org/folder.php?f=donate Bill Johnson, president ———- American Decency Association Bill Johnson, President P.O.
