One Million Moms Pours Scorn On Mistresses

The justification for the pressure group's name has never been that transparent. One Million Moms has far fewer members, and the odds are a number are not mothers. But nevertheless they can pull a punch by targeting the advertisers of shows that they disapprove of. Possibly why they've never gone after Game Of Thrones on HBO. But Mistresses on ABC is a different matter….

They write,

"Mistresses" season premiere aired on ABC this week and the name says it all. I suppose the name "Living in Sin" didn't sound as appealing. This unoriginal show is strikingly similar to "Desperate Housewives," with four friends who get themselves tangled in a web of lies and hurt the ones they love. "Mistresses" airs on Monday evenings at 10:00 p.m. ET/9:00 CT.

The program "Mistresses" includes inappropriate content such as adultery, cheating, lies and deceit in explicit and sensually graphic scenes. Our society doesn't need more negative influences than it already has on broadcast airwaves. Even though the program airs a little later in the evening, it is not late enough since the bedroom scenes are soft p*rn and are included in some previews which air earlier in the evening when children are likely watching.

"Mistresses" centers around a group of four women who have no regrets and feel little or no remorse about committing adultery with someone else's husband – or cheating on their own.

Hollywood is continuing to push casual s*x between unmarried couples, some with multiple partners, as acceptable when clearly it is morally wrong.

Take Action

Please send an email letter to the sponsors of this week's "Mistresses." This week's national sponsors were: Sprint, Nabisco – owned by Mondelez International (Oreo & Triscuit), Capital One, Sonic, Maybelline, Pier 1 Imports, Wyndham Hotel Group, Icy Hot (Chattem, Inc.), Dyson, Kohler and Neutrogena.

You know what? Someone should make a show called Living In Sin. Then One Million Moms would have nothing to complain about…

Here's the preview that caused such a fuss.
