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:
Family Guy
The talking dog Brian eats the feces out of Baby Stewie's diaper. Baby Stewie vomits, and Brian eats the vomit. Then Brian licks Stewie's rear clean.
(Fox, May 2, 9:00 p.m. ET)
The Cleveland Show
Toddler Rallo, talks with his friends outside pre-school:
BOY: “So, Rallo, who you gonna be rubbing up on at the school carnival?”
RALLO: “Fool, please. I'm too cool for pre-school. I need a real woman. There ain't a girl in our class with more than an A-cup. Heck, there ain't a girl in our class with more than a sippy cup!”
(Fox, May 2, 8:30 p.m. ET)
Ugly Americans
Randall, a zombie whose genitals have fallen off, kisses and fondles his now-detatched penis, then gives a monologue about his sexual history:
“I'm what they call an ‘ass-whisperer'…I bled in my stool for twelve days straight…I wouldn't say I'm into ball torture per se, but…Having no penis sucks dick.”
(Comedy Central, April 14, 10:30 p.m. ET)
In addition, YUM! has sponsored Comedy Central's
South Park and
Roast of Joan Rivers (both of which joke 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 and e-mails 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.
