Email Body Message: (editable)	I am writing today to express my concern about your recent sponsorship of an extremely graphic episode of Rescue Me on the FX cable network. I know that you have been contacted before about your sponsorship of graphic content on other programs and I am extremely disappointed that a well-respected corporation like yours would choose to pretend it has done nothing wrong in placing its ads on such a graphic, sexually explicit program. Although you may want to take the position that your company is not involved in network programming decisions, that simply isn't true. Without the advertising dollars of companies like yours, programs like Rescue Me could not exist. As long as companies are willing to underwrite this kind of content, it will continue to be produced. The advertising industry is premised on the assumption that viewers will be influenced by what they see on television. That influence does not end once the commercial break is over. It is my sincere hope that you will not further jeopardize your hard-earned corporate image and brand name by further association with the sort of content that appeared on the June 20 episode of Rescue Me. Here is a summary of the June 20 episode of "Rescue Me." [WARNING: The following content is very explicit and will be EXTREMELY offensive to many. Bear in mind that it appeared on basic-cable television where it was available to millions of children.] Language: � The word "shit" was used 16 times in this episode. "Goddamn" and "asshole" were used eight times apiece. "Hell" was used six times. "Blowjob" and "jerk off" were used three times apiece. "Piss," "dick" and "spic" were used twice apiece. A variety of other words, such as "bitch," "cock," "cum," and "queer" were each used once. � Probie and his male roommate discuss their sexual encounter. � Probie: "I mean, we live together and everything, but it's not like we sleep together or kiss or any of that shit." � roomie: "Yeah, it's just blowjobs. They don't count as sex anymore, so it's not like we're even doing anything sexual." � Probie: "Definitely not anything gay�And I'm just gettin' the blowjobs, so I'm REALLY not gay!" � roomie: "Are you saying I'm gayer than you? Don't piss me off! I'll beat your face in, asshole!" � A hung-over Lou insults Franco. � Lou: "Goddamn bunch of juvenile delinquents...Why doncha mind your own business, ya stupid spic?" � Franco: "I saw you drunk off your ass the other night stumbling around in the street like some goddamn bum. Now maybe I'm a stupid spic, Lou, but at least I got my personal shit together." � Shiela and Tommy discuss sperm donation. Shiela asks how it is done. � Tommy: "I think they go in above the knee with a little tube and they suck the cum right outta your leg. What do you think?...I jerk off, okay? I jerk off into a cup or a plastic ice cube tray or something, I dunno. Why?" � Shiela: "When you're at the sperm bank and you are jerking off into a cup, could you think of me?...Because then if we decide to use the sperm at a later date to have a child together, then it would sorta be like we were connected at the moment when it all started." � Sex: � Tommy rapes his ex-wife Janet. � Tommy shoves Janet onto a couch. He climbs on top of her and rips open her shirt, exposing her bra. � Janet: "Does this make you feel more like a man?" � Janet slaps Tommy and punches him as he pulls down his pants. Tommy rapes Janet, thrusting forward violently. Janet screams as he penetrates her. Tommy thrusts multiple times. Janet becomes calm, then groans and whimpers in pleasure, enjoying the rape. Tommy climbs off of her, and the two resume their conversation as if nothing has happened. � Tommy has sex with Nell. With his pants down around his ankles, he carries Nell as she wraps her legs around his waist and he penetrates her, grabbing her rear. Tommy moans her name. He visibly climaxes, wincing and gasping, as he sits on a couch with Nell straddling his lap. � At the sperm bank, Tommy masturbates. He is shown hunched over, his arm moving rapidly and his face contorting as he groans and gasps. He drops the cup as he climaxes. � Tommy: "Shit!" � Probie's male roommate performs fellatio on him as Probie watches TV. Probie tells his roommate to look at the sports game on TV. The roomie's head appears briefly as he pauses to look at the TV screen. He wipes a corner of his mouth. He then bends his head down again, below camera level. Probie glances down at him as his face assumes a blissful expression. � Franco has sex with Alicia. Franco wears underwear, Alicia a bathrobe. Franco moves forward, mounting her as she wraps her legs around his waist and her arms around his neck. They kiss. � Alicia: "I wanta try this little thing I do with my tongue that we haven't tried before...It's with my tongue and my teeth. It doesn't hurt. No no no, I mean it hurts, but in a good way." Franco: "Shit." Sincerely,
