ironmonk Posted February 19, 2004 Posted February 19, 2004 http://www.catholic.net/linksframe.phtml?l...RTICLE_ID=37051 Join over 124,000 people who want to boycott MTV advertisers... Time to bring down the beast. http://boycottmtv.net/TakePoll.aspx?pid=3 For years MTV has been sexually exploiting our children. The Super Bowl show, which contained Janet Jackson grabbing her breasts, Nelly repeatedly fondling his crotch, striptease cheerleaders, gyrating transvestites, simulated lesbian sex, a "performer" who wore the American Flag as a poncho, and Jackson and Justin Timberlake groping each other in addition to Jackson's exposed breast, was mild compared to other MTV programs. MTV would not be able to exploit our children without the financial support provided by advertisers who finance this type of programming. Your Servant in Christ, ironmonk
Iacobus Posted February 19, 2004 Posted February 19, 2004 MTV is horrible. I have tried to watch it before when 1st got cable. I never saw anything remdeeming on the network. Last year my friends had me watch "the Real Cancun" I nearly vomited. The film was a bunch of 20 somethings get drunk and having sex. WOW. Really want to promit that to teens. Their network is not much better either. So what if they move 6 videos to the 10pm to 6 circut. Why are they being aired in the 1st place.
M.SIGGA Posted February 19, 2004 Posted February 19, 2004 Lol. I'm actually watching TRL right now while reading this, but you're right - they need to either cool down or become a specialty station like HBO or at least not show certain stuff until after 10pm. If you really want to bring down the beast you should be protesting Viacom, which owns CBS, MTV, BET, Comedy Central, and almost all the other stations too - all of which can be a little bit vulgar and very anti-Catholic.
Iacobus Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 I hate MTV, BET, 99.9% of Comedy Central, but I cant give up my one hour of tv. It is on CBS.
VeraMaria Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 don't get me started on MTV... i think it's one of the sickest things u can find. most of the time at least. especially sick because it targets teens. some of my friends watch it, and so do their younger iblings. 5 and 6 year olds watching MTV and being told it's what is "cool" argh :ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r:
cmotherofpirl Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 Anybody ever try turning the TV off? and miss EWTN? :freak:
Thomas Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 Anybody ever try turning the TV off? Pauses.... Ponders Idea of turning T.V. off.... Glares at T.V. for a moment or two.... Cautously paces towards it... Stretching arm out... Anticipates pressing 'Power' button... Almost... Oh....My...Goodness... Turns T.V. off... Still in one piece...hmmm.
Paladin D Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 Heck, even Spike TV is better than MTV... Signed up, and done (to the MTV Boycott thing).
God Conquers Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 hehe, no problem. I don't even get MTV
Dave Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 Once MTV stopped focusing on videos so much, it was just a matter of time before the sh*t started to hit the fan! :lol:
Jake Huether Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 (edited) I'm in. MTV, say goodbye to the "real world". LOL. Edited February 20, 2004 by Jake Huether
Iacobus Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 Yeh, some times I forget that MTV stands for "Music television." All they have had for years is shows like, the Real World and Undressed. Neither of those were very good at promoting morals in teens, the traget viewers.
PatrickRitaMichael Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 I'd protest if I got MTV but we stopped getting cable when I was in 2nd grade and my parents saw a scandalous (looked like an orgy) music video on MTV back when they actually had music videos on the channel. I know what they program, though, and I'm sooo glad that I don't watch that stuff b/c it just brings my spirit down so low to see people hurting themselves (and all for higher ratings) in so many ways. I wonder why no one ever thought to boycott MTV before?
the_rev Posted February 21, 2004 Posted February 21, 2004 Boycotting... And will try to turn the tv off as Thomas did. Steps out of chair to walk toward t.v. Gets to TV Ponders does the t.v. shut off Reaches for power button Amen Alleluia the t.v. is off!
the_rev Posted February 21, 2004 Posted February 21, 2004 There is this one family in our town, that only owns a t.v. so they can watch disney movies together, how ideal! They read and study the whole time each night!
XIX Posted February 24, 2004 Posted February 24, 2004 I can't watch MTV for more than 3 seconds before think that maybe gnawing off my own leg might be a more better way of spending my time. more...better... yup, got that from homestarrunner.com Far better entertainment. :sweat:
nikkan_hanil Posted February 26, 2004 Posted February 26, 2004 This is one boycott I'm actually going to support... MTV=Mainstream Television :shame:
