Action Alert – New Set of GCB Ads

By: American Decency Staff

ABC/Disney, desperately trying to build an audience for the controversial and offensive new show “GCB,â€Â replayed the premiere episode of GCB last night.  Except for one lone local ad, all of the corporations advertising on last night’s airing were different from the sponsors of last Sunday’s premiere episode.  A sign, perhaps, that other companies are joining Kraft and moving their ads elsewhere? Take Action! Click here to let last night’s advertisers know you are outraged by their support of Christian bigotry. As we reported earlier this week, “GCBâ€Â represents one of the most blatant evidences of Christian bigotry.  And we’re not the only ones recognizing that GCB defames Christianity in a way that would never be tolerated if it were directed at any other specific group.  Imagine a show entitled “Good Muslim B—chesâ€Â or “Good Asian B—ches.â€ÂÂ  Oh the outrage there would be!  And we Christians should be outraged too! New York Ciy Councilman Perter Vallone added his voice to the growing chorus of complaints, urging people to boycott “GCBâ€Â and  ABC to yank it off the air.  Vallone stated: “The fact that ABC considers this sort of language and this sort of title is something that would even be considered for a TV show is really a sad statement about how low we have sunk." Christian publisher Tessie DeVore told Fox News:  "I find the title offensive. I don’t think those two words should be combined.  … A show like this can damage perceptions (of Christians in this country)." The Free-Lance Star newspaper reviewed â€ÂGCBâ€Â describing the show as filled with “excesses that feel needlessly raunchy and go out of their way to insult viewers of faith.â€Â Going on to state: “… If it's not making half the women on the show dress and act like hookers, it's making the mean girls a bizarre mix of church matrons and vengeful enemies. … (One of the women) … frames all of her hurtful schemes and thoughts in biblical verse, which feels more offensive than funny. She even excuses her flimsy manner of dressing by saying, "Cleavage makes your cross hang straight!" This is just the tip of the unbelievable iceberg. The husband of one of the mean girls is sleeping with his male ranch foreman. The husband of another immediately wants to sleep with Vaughn …â€Â As we stated before, if this evil show continues without tens of thousands of us taking action, corporate advertisers as those who advertised last night will think that it is no big deal to demean Christianity. And so, we also urge you to forward this email to your family and friends, encouraging them to stand with us and click here to contact the corporations empowering Christian bigotry. ========================================================== To support our efforts please click here or mail your gift to American Decency Association (ADA), PO Box 202, Fremont, MI 49412.
