JC Penney and McDonald’s back NBC filth

By: American Decency Staff

The raunchy new sitcom, “Are You There, Chelseaâ€Â aired again last evening during the family hour on NBC.   As someone who is not easily shocked by what Hollywood fills the airwaves with in the name of “entertainmentâ€Â these days, “Are You There, Chelseaâ€Â is jaw-dropping stunning in the extreme levels of crudity that fills the show from beginning to end. Each of five episodes that have aired had the same two themes – sex and alcohol.  And from beginning to end the show is absolutely filled with the raunchiest dialogue and sexual innuendo I have ever heard on network television.  It is hard to make you aware of how extremely vulgar and sexualized this show is because most of the dialogue is just far too explicit to give examples of. And that is why we need you to take action and hold the sponsors accountable for supporting what has been called by ADA and other groups the worst show on network television – a show that is breaking new ground by sinking to a level of extreme crudeness and salaciousness never before aired on TV networks. If we don’t oppose such filth, it will be accepted and this will become the norm on public airwaves! Click here to urge the sponsors – including JC Penney, McDonalds, Olay, Campbell’s Soup and others – to stop empowering Are You There, Chelsea? In addition, on several episodes “Are You There, Chelseaâ€Â has taken shots at mocking Christ and Christianity – from the prudish portrayal of Chelsea’s judgmental Christian sister to Chelsea praying to vodka as “ her lordâ€Â and the ridiculing of abstinence and other Christian values in between. In last night’s episode, entitled “The Gynecologist,â€Â Chelsea asks her Christian sister for a referral to her gynecologist.  When the sister at first refuses, not wanting to be associated with her sister’s rampant illicit sex life, Chelsea mockingly tells her: “What would Jesus do?  I think He would give me His gynecologist’s number.â€Â Her sister angrily answers: “It’s going to be hard to write down a number with His hands nailed to a cross for your sins.â€Â Each of these insulting taunts are set to a riotous laugh track  – profaning Christ and His sacrifice for sin and using His atonement as a perverted joke. And this was just the opening scene in the first two minutes of the show. The rest of the half hour was filled with vulgar sex talk and euphemisms regarding everything from male and female genitalia, to graphic homosexual sex acts, to bestiality, to porn use, to lesbian group sex, to masturbation, and on and on. Literally each of these ‘topics’ and more were scenarios and/or crudely referenced within this half hour 8:30 PM show. If we don’t oppose such filth, it will be accepted and this will become the norm on public airwaves!
