Too funny!
I posted a thread a couple days ago with an email the American Family Association sent to their entire subscriber list about a 30 second clip from the NBC show Las Vegas. The AFA was
SO offended by those 30 seconds that they sent the clip to all their fundie faithful and urged them to watch it.
AFA sending offensive video to their subscriber list!(NBC Las Vegas)http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=364&topic_id=372384#376955They must have gotten a lot of complaints, because this email just came out today.
Explanation: Here's why we inlcluded the video
Dear tanyev,
I wanted you to know that we have received a significant number of complaints from AFA supporters about the graphic nature of the video clip from the NBC show Las Vegas, contained in a recent e-mail alert AFA sent out. We understand and share the feelings and sentiments of those who expressed concern. We have to make judgement calls from time to time on how much to say or show about the subject matter presented.
We receive about an equal number of complaints from those who get upset when we don't provide the actionable material. So we are caught in a bind. Provide the actional material and get complaints, or don't provide the actionable material and get complaints.
We face a dilemma because in order to file an official complaint with the Federal Communications Commission, the agency requires that the person complaining provide as much information as possible. The good news is that 170,000 people responded to our e-mail alert and filed an official complaint with the FCC!
In the future we will send pixilated shots along with a description of the objectionable scene.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support of our work.
Sincerely,
Donald E. Wildmon, Founder and Chairman
American Family Association:rofl:
And, oh yes, they spelled "included" as "inlcluded".
