Stop the Censorship

Its time for the real parents and adults to stand up and put a stop to constitutive groups like Family First who are too busy trying to censor things that will "damage" their children instead of parenting their children and controlling what they watch themselves.

As of last Friday the Christian lobby group Family first has been pressuring advisers to remove there advertising during a show TV3 show called Californication this show is on at 9-30 pm on Thursday that contains content that the people at family first deem bad for the New Zealand Family.

Now I can understand how some people might not want to watch a show with sex, nudity etc in it and if you don't like it just don't watch it. But what about the children I hear you saying well have two children and I would not be happy with them watching it either, so guess what I make sure that my kids don't watch it and are in bed by 9-30. As with all forms of entertainment it is not that responsibility of the government to decide what your children watch/do it is your responsibility so stop wasting your time ringing/emailing advertisers and start paying attention to your children and what they are watching and doing.

Here's what I would like you to consider doing:

• Would you consider sending a quick email to these advertisers(Cadbury, Ferrit, Burger King, CRC and Finish) saying that you are happy they are willing to support freedom of expression in New Zealand and that you will be boycott their product if remove there association with this program because of a small group of individuals that want to censor your entrainment.
• Right now please call TV3 and tell them that you are taking this action (09) 377-9730 (hold for an operator). Tell them (politely) that you would like to commend that for giving you the choice to watch adult ordinated programming on at an appropriate time slot.

Have your say leave a comment.

P.s. Just in case you care Family First is also trying to;

• Stop Easter trading
  
• Remove The Anti-smacking Bill (apparently its not assault if its done by a parent)
  
• Boycott Hell's Pizza because they do not like there advtising
• Cancel the 'Boobs on Bikes' Parade
