“Sponsored
by
Apple,
Two and
a Half
Men
has
presented
content
that
includes:
a
lengthy
scene of
a
stripper
wearing
nothing
but a
small
bikini
grinding
on Alan,
a main
character
on the
show.
During
the lap
dance
she is
seen
jiggling
both her
breast
and
slapping
her
behind
in
Alan’s
face.
She’s
seen
lying on
her
stomach
on top
of
Alan’s
lap.
While
this is
going on
Alan is
in the
background
with
comments
such as
‘Come
on, hop
on pop,’
and
‘Ooooh,
yes,
yes,
yes,’
implying
that he
has had
an
orgasm
by
looking
at his
pants
and
saying
he’d
catch up
with his
brother
later.
Is this
what
you’d
consider
good,
family
entertainment?

continued,
“Another
episode
sponsored
by Apple
included:
repeated
sexual
conversations
between
Charlie
and his
friend
Alan.
Charlie
complains
about
his
boring
romantic
life and
Alan
says,
‘You
know,
it's
possible,
you
might
enjoy
your
dates
more if
you went
out with
women
who are
capable
of using
their
head as
something
other
than a
place to
rest
their
ankles.’
This
implies
that
Charlie
uses
women
solely
for
sexual
encounters.’
“Mr.
Chairman,
your own
website
states
‘Apple
is
committed
to
ensuring
the
highest
standards
of
social
responsibility
in
everything
we do.’
“A study
by the
RAND
Corporation
found
that,
‘adolescents
with a
high
level of
exposure
to
television
shows
with
sexual
content
are
twice as
likely
to get
pregnant
or
impregnate
someone
as those
who saw
fewer
programs
of this
kind
over a
period
of three
years.’
“I am
pleading
with you
on
behalf
of
millions
of
Americans
to bring
your
high
standards
to your
advertising
practices.
I hope
you will
accept
my
invitation
today to
work
with the
Parents
Television
Council
to find
programming
alternatives
that
will
meet
your
media
goals.
My
question
to you,
Mr.
Chairman,
is does
the
board of
directors
know the
content
of the
programs
they
sponsor,
and if
yes, how
does
that
correlate
with
Apple’s
commitment
to
ensuring
the
highest
standards
of
social
responsibility
in
everything
they
do?”
