Here are just a few examples of the kind of trash that is becoming typical bill-of-fare for prime-time, network television.

FOX - Boston Public
Here are highlights from the Fox program Boston Public - aired during the family hour - on November 19, 2001, and brought to you by AT&T. The episode opens with a teenage girl and boy kissing. She turns to face the camera as the boy begins unbuttoning her sweater. As he begins to move his hand under her sweater, a teacher interrupts them.

Later that morning, a mother goes to the principal's office, complaining about a column in the student newspaper about "breast-only orgasms."

Mother: "I don't pay taxes. . .to have my daughter read how she can have an orgasm by having her breasts squeezed."

Faculty Member: "Would you rather she let boys in her pants? . . .I'm serious. If girls know that they can have orgasms without having to have intercourse, they might be willing to wait a little longer to have sex."

Mrs. Peters asks Vice-Principal Guber what he plans to do about the sex column.

VP Guber: "I don't know yet. . . Is it really possible? A woman can climax simply by having her breasts touched?"

Mrs. Peters: "The nipple is connected to the same nervous system. Many women experience uterine contractions when the breasts are stimulated. It's common for mothers to enjoy orgasm when they are nursing their babies."

VP Guber: "Really?"

Mrs. Peters: "I had them with Jeremy all the time."

ABC - Saving Private Ryan
Saving Private Ryan (brought to you by Ford Motor Company) was aired during a PRIME TIME slot and contained not only brutally graphic violence but also scores of profanities. The f-word was used 21 times on prime-time, network television! Once again, the network pushed the decency envelope during prime time and got away with it.

ABC - What is Sexy?
ABC aired "What is Sexy?" the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. The show was promoted as the "sultry superbowl of underwear." Most of the garments defied the term "underwear" and looked more like the costumes worn by Las Vegas showgirls. Glittery string bikinis with the tiniest of triangles in front, a thong in back and the most miniscule of bras were typical as the girls walked the ramp and paused sensuously at the end of the runway.

Models lay in bed staring provocatively at the camera and moved their bodies in ways that left little to the imagination. "What is Sexy?" was brought to you by Verizon Communications.

When viewers complained to ABC about the program, the network flippantly responded: "This special was approved by our Broadcast Standards and Practices department. . ."
In other words -- "Get lost, we don't care how you feel or what you think. Our business is to make money."

The networks and sponsors don't care what their programming is doing to our children. The only thing they care about is making money. Here is what Michael Eisner, CEO of Disney (which owns ABC), had to say about respecting children: "We have no obligation to make history. We have no obligation to make art. We have no obligation to make a statement. To make money is our only obligation."

If it takes trashy TV to do it, Mr. Eisner and ABC won't hesitate!
