Call to Action: CTV / Comedy Network
On December 1st, CTV and the Comedy Network broadcasted the Russell Peters Christmas Show.
The show was degrading to women and a sacrilege to Christians – lingerie model in skimpy clothes leered at by lecherous old men, East Indian women portrayed at thieves as they stuffed food into their handbags, and Pamela Anderson as the Virgin Mary. The Three Wise men suggested that Mary wasn’t a virgin as she had been sleeping with them and Joseph was only after the gold the Wise men brought.
The show was sponsored by: Subway, Kotex, Nestles – Turtles, Pillsbury cookies and cinnamon rolls, Unilever – Dove and Lipton tea, Xbox Kinect, Paramount pictures, glaxosmithkline – Abreva and Breathe Right, Old Navy, Ocean Spray cranberry, Peoples the Diamond Store, Payless Shoes, The Source, Dairy Queen, Tempurpedic Mattresses, MacDonald’s – McCafe, Barilla spaghetti, Lowe’s, Advil, Schneider’s Country Naturals, Lancome’ fragrance, Nissan, Jamieson Vitamins, Staples, L’Oreal mascara, Warner Bros, and Pfizer – Advil.
Members are urged to write letters to CTV and to the sponsors protesting the sacrilege that was committed by this show.
