SUPERBOWL FALLOUT- GOOD AND BAD 
Friday, February 13, 2004

The Super Bowl “to do” has already effected the decisions at ABC, NBC, and CBS because of the public outcry and because of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) investigation.

NBC deleted a scene in the episode of “ER” of an elderly woman with her upper body exposed.

CBS delayed the Grammy Awards to stop any indecent language or images from entering homes.

ABC planned time delays on its Oscars broadcast.

ESPN cancelled “Play Makers,” a drama about a pro-football team.

Dave Haverty, President of “Preview Family Movie and T.V. Review” said public pressure and the F.C.C. investigation should get credit for the self-censorship of the networks.

It would be a huge blow to CBS if the NFL cancelled its Super Bowl contract and went somewhere else.

This self-censorship is good and needed, but the marketers of this immoral trash are working now as to how to top the Super Bowl stunt.

One executive claims the Jackson episode was “extremely successful” and another partner in the New York public relations agency LaForce and Stevens has announced “we love stunts at our agency” then she referred to Jackson as the one who “opened the door for more people to take risks.”

In the four days following the event Jackson received twice as many mentions
in the press and with only weeks ahead of her first album release, she has broken the all time search engine record.

With these graphic sexual happenings one can see why children are having
sexual problems, why parents are threatening to turn off the T.V., why marriages and families are struggling.

Those who viewed the Super Bowl half time got a dose of the coarsening
of America in living color. Immorality and disrespect was on center stage.

Don’t let up on the pressure you applied to the F.C.C. and to the N.F.L.

Keep pressure on the networks too. All that matters is their ratings. When you
turn off your T. V. set – they get the message. It is time someone else took charge of our culture. Hollywood has been in control long enough.
