On Friday, One Million Moms declared that they had successfully pressured Care.com into not advertising during the Disney Channel episode of Good Luck Charlie which introduced a family with lesbian moms. Care.com is a Massachusetts-based company that “helps families find child care, senior care, special needs care, tutoring, pet care, and housekeeping.” Last week the CEO from Care.com rang the …

Just in via email: Dear Joe, Disney did air the “Good Luck Charlie” episode featuring two moms as a same-sex couple this week, but your efforts were not in vain. Although One Million Moms is disappointed in Disney after we urged the network not to air this particular episode, Care.com did pay attention to our outcry and did not sponsor …

If you thought wingnut outrage was deafening after the cast of Kinky Boots performed during the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, you better get out your earplugs for when they see the same thing during the Super Bowl pre-show.  It’s not yet clear if the cast will physically be AT the stadium or if the performance will be televised from Broadway, …

Just in via email: Joe, Alerting all parents! If “Good Luck Charlie” goes through with introducing LGBT content, then the floodgates will be opened for all programs on the Disney Channel – a trend that will be almost impossible to stop. An upcoming episode in this last season of “Good Luck Charlie” will feature a family with two moms, a …

Via the Associated Press: The people behind the ABC Family show ‘‘The Fosters’’ say that criticism from the group One Million Moms contributed to it getting off to a strong start for the cable network. The show, which premiered last summer and returned to the schedule this week, features a biracial lesbian couple with a household of foster children. One …

These …

Just in from One Million Moms: The new Staples ad campaign uses the tagline “What the L!” We all know children repeat what they hear. Everyone knows exactly what the company is implying with the mock swearing, but their commercials make sure there is no doubt of their intentions to push the advertising envelope. Staples printed ad spells out “STAP …

Censorship! Freedom of speech! Religious liberty! OUTRAAAAAGE! Oh, wait. That deafening sound you hear is crickets, because the weekly boycott demands by the American Family Association, one of the nation’s largest Christian advocacy groups, are totally OK with the Tea People.  Because when Christianist groups call for nationwide boycotts of television shows and their advertisers, that is a righteous use …

Kmart has launched a holiday version of their “Ship My Pants” campaign and you-know-who isn’t going to like this.

Via email from One Millions Moms: Other religions do not tolerate this behavior and as Christians we will not either. Why any producer or network feels mocking a sacred and religious holiday where Christians celebrate the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ is acceptable is beyond me. GLEE should not and will not get a free pass to make a …

Just in via email: The annual tradition for family entertainment had a not-so-discrete agenda this time around. This year’s parade chose to send a Politically Correct message, but their plan backfired and the statement they really sent to families is that Macy’s cannot be trusted. “Raise You Up” was not suitable for families for many reasons. The inappropriate act starred …

Just in via email: “Joe, One Million Moms is calling for a limited one-month boycott of Radio Shack over the company’s censorship of the word “Christmas.” For years, Radio Shack has refused to use the word Christmas on its website, in television commercials, newspaper ads and in-store promotions, despite tens of thousands of consumer requests to recognize Christmas and in …

Told you this was coming. The title of the current ad is “Show Your Joe,” and Kmart includes sexual content during a Christmas hand bell choir performance. The commercial focuses on several men wearing Joe Boxer underwear thrusting in a sexualized way to the tune of Jingle Bells. They start gyrating and shaking themselves instead of the hand bells, intending …

Via email: Dear Joe, It is a violation of federal law for broadcasters to air indecent material on publicly-owned airwaves when children are likely to be in the viewing audience. Yet that is EXACTLY what the Fox Broadcast Network (not to be confused with Fox News) did this past Sunday, November 10th, with its most recent episode of Family Guy. …

Just in from One Million Moms: Joe, Which stores recognize Christmas in their advertising, and who’s the Scrooge? It’s here – the list you have been waiting for so you’ll know which stores to avoid and where you can shop confidently. Many of our supporters print this list and keep a copy in their handbag while in town. As the …

Via email from Monica Cole: Dear Joe, In the original “Quicksilver” Capital One commercial starring Samuel L. Jackson, he blurts out the d-word! Capital One’s “Quicksilver” ad was irresponsible and offensive but after our members contacted the company a new commercial has begun airing. Capital One has updated their commercial to leave out the profanity. The revised commercial now says, …

“Dear Joe, What an amazing kickoff for the fall! Together, and with God’s help, we are taking a stand for our children and our voice is being heard. We are called to be faithful and leave the outcome up to God. One Million Moms continues to stand for traditional Christian values. After contacting the NBC Network, we began consistently contacting …

Via email: Dear Joe, In the newest Capital One commercial starring Samuel L. Jackson, he blurts out the d-word! We all know children repeat what they hear. Capital One’s “Quicksilver” ad is irresponsible and offensive. It is extremely destructive and damaging to impressionable children viewing the commercial. TAKE ACTION! Send Capital One an email letter and urge them to no …

Via email from One Million Moms: Dear Joe, Warning! NBC’s “Dracula” season premiere is set to air this Friday, October 25 at 10:00 p.m. ET/9:00 p.m. CT with a TV-14 rating. The gory series will air on weekends when children and teens potentially stay up later. As another program to warp the minds of our youth, it will likely give …

Via email: The only question is which is worse, the slogan “Fun Between the Buns” or the graphic that is included with it? Parents do not want their children repeating the slogan, and the graphic is equally disturbing because it is symbolizing nudity. Everything between the top and bottom hamburger buns is pixelated, including condiments, meat, cheese and other toppings. …
