Don’t Trust the B — or it’s sponsors!

By: American Decency Staff

ABC’s trash show “Don’t Trust the B— in Apt. 23,  though a repeat, brings degradation whether it is a new episode or old.  It is what it is:  trash! Express your concern to the advertisers of this show who are empowering the increasing profanity-filled lewdness on network television. There were a total of 18 advertisers with 8 repeat (44% of advertisers were repeaters.) Click here to send a message to the sponsors of “Don’t Trust the B—- in Apt. 23.â€Â Old Advertisers include:  McDonalds, Netflix, Kia, Hellmann’s – Unilever, L’Oreal and others. New advertisers include:  Burlington, Mazda, Virgin Mobile and a few others. And while the word “b—châ€Â may not be explicitly stated in the title, it has certainly been used  within the show.  Just five years ago that type of disgusting language would have been rarely heard on network television. Now such language is becoming regular fare. As one commentator stated:  “People are raised mimicking media — TV is the other parent — and kids are growing up without common decency and respect for each other.   They’re fed that women are second-class citizens; women are bitches …â€Â And Erin M. Fuller, president of the Alliance for Women in Media, stated:  “Obviously, they’re using it to be polarizing and controversial and attention-getting. Why else would you use that word?  I don’t think … that word is a celebration of women.â€Â Yet, as indicative of how far we’ve fallen, this new show has garnered little criticism, but loads of acclaim for its “edginessâ€Â and “humor.â€Â We need to let our voices be heard!  Express your concern to the advertisers of this show who are empowering the increasing obscenity-filled lewdness on network television.
