HELP US HOLD YUM! BRANDS ACCOUNTABLE!

YUM! Brands is the umbrella corporation that owns some of the top fast-food franchises in America: Taco Bell, KFC, Pizza Hut, A&W and Long John Silver's.

YUM! also sponsors some of the filthiest, most disgusting programs on TV.

In recent weeks, YUM! has been responsible for the following content: Click here to read the examples. WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT!

In addition, YUM! has sponsored Comedy Central's South Park and Roast of Joan Rivers (both of which joked about pedophilia), and Spike's raunchy Blue Mountain State and MANswers, as well as consistently sponsoring Fox's disgusting Sunday night animation block of Family Guy, American Dad and The Cleveland Show. NONE of these offensive programs would be on TV if YUM! and other advertisers were not sponsoring them!

This week, a PTC representative will speak at YUM!'s shareholder meeting, and will urge the company to stop sponsoring foul programming. If YOU -- and others like you -- deluge YUM! with phone calls this week, it will ensure that the company will take our concerns seriously.

So please -- take five minutes to make a phone call, and tell YUM! you're disgusted by the programming they sponsor -- and help us to clean up television. It may be the most important call you make this week.

TO CONTACT YUM! Brands call their corporate office at (502) 874-8300.
