PTC Urges Jack in the Box to Clean Up TV Sponsorships
- PTC Press Release
LAFC Chapter Director Michele Mac Neal chides Jack in The Box
Recently the
Parents Television Council (a non-profit, educational organization) made
a live appeal at a Jack in the Box shareholders meeting to plead the
case to change their ways. The director of the PTC Los Angeles Foothills
Chapter, Michele Mac Neal, was on-hand to address the company
executives. She said, “As a mother, I ask you today to end your
sponsorship of crude television, and instead sponsor family-friendly
television, coinciding with your corporate efforts in helping children
within the community,” Mac Neal said.

The ABC Family cable network too edgy!
- Los Angeles Times
Michele MacNeal, who
is the head of a branch of the TV watchdog group, claims ABC
Family shows like "Greek" and "The Secret Life of the
American Teenager" include material that is inappropriate
for family viewing, the Los Angeles Times said Sunday.
"It's kind of a
misnomer to call ABC Family a family channel," MacNeal said.
"When you call something 'family,' it gives the impression
that it's safe for all members of the family, even young
children."

L.A. Foothills Chapter of Parents Television Council Opened
La Crescenta Resident Named As Chapter Director
 "Michele MacNeal personifies that adage if you want to get something done, give
it to a busy person," said PTC executive director Tim Winter. "She is a local
community activist and one who is committed to getting things done. We are
thrilled to have Michele join our grassroots team in this important leadership
role."
MacNeal is a licensed nurse with more than 17 years hospital experience and a
graduate of Biola University. She is involved in the national Mothers of Twin's
Club, serving as local chapter president, membership and social chairs. She was
relay center coordinator for the Samaritan's Purse: Operation Christmas Child.
"As a parent and as a nurse," MacNeal said, "I have seen the influences of
graphic sexual content and gratuitous sex in entertainment. They really do have
negative affects on our children. I am honored to establish this chapter and
work to reduce these influences for our children."
