One of my personal favorites is OneMillionMoms.com which is a project of the American Family Association. I signed up with them a few year's ago and they are a web based, e-mail alert program that asks its members to contact certain businesses when their advertisements cross the line. The latest one which inspired this post was asking members to contact Sears. For their Father's Day event, there were a series of nude and semi-nude posters available for purchase. The posters were found via a specific search and I was really surprised that Sears actually sold these posters online. Granted, porn is everywhere and when you have a society that utilizes half dresses women to sell anything from grass killer to tires to animal feed (I am exaggerating a bit), it's no wonder there is a focus on nudity. However, I do expect to have some decency in places that I would have expected to be harmless. I never envisioned that I would have to monitor my kid's searching on department stores now.
So after my rant, I wanted to say thanks to the American Family Association's OneMillionMoms.com for being the voice of decency in areas our children have access to ...namely advertisements and more! Thank you!
