I'm Not Sure One Million Moms' Boycott Of Dracula Will Have The Intended Effect

You see, I had pretty no interest in watching the new Dracula TV series. Then I read One Million Moms' boycott letter.

Warning! NBC's new program "Dracula" airs on Friday evenings at 10:00 p.m. ET/9:00 p.m. CT with a TV-14-SV rating. The gory series will air on weekends when children and teens usually stay up later. Not only is this show extremely violent, but it also includes a high level of sexual content that should be considered pornographic material.

NBC's website describes the series with words like sex, style, mystery and adventure. Even the previews included several brief clips of sex scenes that would be considered soft porn. This program is entirely too graphic in too many ways.

Previews of this program also included: terrifying screams, a rotted corpse, death, murder, a woman burned alive while tied to a stake, spirits, satanic and occult elements, homosexual content, tons of blood (mostly on Dracula's face and victim's necks) and other gore, including decapitated heads in boxes and pools of blood.

And now, suddenly, it sounds a lot more interesting and I want to watch it. Anyway they ask you to

Please send an email letter to the sponsors of this week's episode of "Dracula." This week's national sponsors were: Chili's (Brinker), Olive Garden, L'Oreal, Revlon, JELL-O (Kraft Foods) and Rolaids (Chattem).

Urge advertisers to place the program on their "do not advertise" list in protest of the attempt to desensitize America and our children by promoting inappropriate content.

Or thank them for advertising during the show. Your call.
