YOU Paid for Graphic, Bloody Mutilation on Nip/Tuck
We apologize in advance for the graphic nature of this email, but we feel that we absolutely must make you aware of what may be one of the most reprehensible scenes ever shown on television.

Would YOU pay to watch a woman hack off her own breast with a carving knife?

Whether you watched it or not, you did pay for it -- and so did every American who subscribes to cable or satellite TV!

On the Tuesday, January 27th episode of the FX network's depraved medical drama Nip/Tuck, a woman character was shown entering a doctor's crowded waiting room and plugging in an electric carving knife. She then stripped off her blouse and, cupping her naked breast in one hand, sawed into it with the knife. Blood is shown splattering her face and clothes and the rest of the room as she shrieks. When the doctors race in, her bloody, severed breast is seen lying on the floor. A closeup shows the woman's bloodstained face as she writhes in pain, and the huge, gory wound in her chest can also be seen.

Warning: the scene contains EXTREMELY graphic content. Do not watch with children present.

This shocking, abhorrent scene aired at 10:00 p.m. ET -- only 9:00 p.m. in the Midwest. Do you want your children stumbling across this while they're flipping channels? Do you enjoy being forced to pay for this repulsive program, just to get the cable programs you DO want to watch? If not, you can TAKE ACTION NOW! 

By paying the FX network to advertise their products on this program, every single one of Nip/Tuck's sponsors is actively endorsing this sickening content. Click the red button below to demand responsible behavior from this program's sponsors.
