“For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature.”(Romans 1:26).

“Dishonorable passions” is an apt description of the salacious program, “Mistresses.”  Last night’s episode began with an explicit sex scene of one of the “mistresses” in bed with a man.  Later in the episode, this same woman was shown erotically kissing a female friend and engaging in lesbian sex in the shower.  She stated the only sex she’s had with a woman in the past was – as she put it – “just threesomes.”

When her brother-in-law is critical of her lack of values, she states:  “The lesson I learned is not to be the boring straight person whose conventional values never bring them any happiness.”

This is also the “lesson” taught to viewers by this show – that the “conventional values” of marriage, commitment, monogamy don’t bring happiness.  A meaningless roll in the hay is more “exciting,” according to ABC’s “Mistresses,” than to love and to cherish, for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, until parted by death.

In addition to sending the message that fidelity and traditional values are the source of unhappiness, ABC also takes time to disrespect the faith of millions – “I want to meet the pope so I can punch him in the face.”- is said by the one woman who, until this episode, was the only one portrayed with a modicum of decency.  By the end of the episode, she, too, is in bed with a man she barely knows.

These tawdry and offensive themes are empowered by the advertisers listed below.  Please take a moment to click on the action link below to help us hold them accountable.

For the last two weeks we singled out McDonald’s which sponsored “Mistresses” for three straight weeks.  We urged, you, our readers, to personally contact McDonald’s.  We’re pleased to report that McDonald’s did not advertise on this week’s episode of Mistresses! 

However, after not advertising last week, Taco Bell was back to sponsor this degrading show.

Let’s keep the pressure on Taco Bell and the other sponsors of “Mistresses.”  In addition to clicking the action link below, please take a moment to personally contact Taco Bell and express your disgust with their empowerment of a show that is an assault upon marriage and family.

Please personally call or post a comment on the Facebook or Twitter page of Taco Bell.
