AFA Warns Sponsors to Separate From 'Desperate Housewives'
Pro-Family Group Will Target ABC Show's Advertisers for Future Boycott

(AgapePress) - A pro-family media watchdog group has announced it will monitor advertisers on ABC's popular program "Desperate Housewives" and plans to call for a yearlong boycott of the series' sponsors.

One MillionMoms.com will be monitoring weekly episodes of "Housewives" during the months of April, May and June to identify which companies sponsor the show. After compiling the list of advertisers, OneMillionMoms.com will launch a year-long boycott of one or more of the leading "Desperate Housewives" sponsors.

OneMillionMoms.com and the related website OneMillionDads.com are projects of the American Family Association (AFA), which seeks through the Internet groups to mobilize grassroots family values consumers to speak out against media indecency and take organized action to combat it. AFA Chairman Don Wildmon says "Desperate Housewives" has been targeted by OneMillionMoms.com because of the show's extreme content.

1. I suppose they want Donna Read,

Father Knows Best, or Leave it Beaver? Having grown up in the 50s, I can say that I did not know ANY families like those, let alone my own.

2. "extreme conduct" hahahahahahaha - what a joke, what about violence

killing, death, guns, hate, ..need I go on?...you would
think they would focus on THESE ISSUES, if they need to promote
family values.

5. Oh please, that is a ratings blockbuster--they'll ignore them if they're

smart, because the AFA constituency no doubt draws the curtains and furtively watches the program, or TIVOs it if they are out to a prayer meeting!

Dumb fuckers oughta learn how to use their stupid V chips if they are so bent out of shape.

6. "OneMillionMoms watch, so you don't have to"--er, CAN'T.

I've never seen the show, don't ever care to, but the irony here just screamsfrom the rooftops.

Let the Rev. Wildmon Jrs. concubines watch and see all the fun that sex can be!
