Urge Sprint and Boost Mobile to Pull Sponsorship from 'The Mick'

“The Mick” has yet another season of putting child actors in even more inappropriate and adult situations, if that is possible.  In the most recent episodes, the youngest child actor is told by his aunt to urinate on all his friends’ beds and sleeping bags while they are asleep at a sleepover. This young boy is also asked to remove a bra from his aunt who is stuck in the opening between the trunk of a car and the backseat. She also mentions several times how hot it is. She is almost completely undressed at this point since she removed her bottoms. The aunt’s boyfriend and a teenage boy are constantly bringing up adult films. These are just a few of the inappropriate scenes. 1MM notices this show also ridicules disabled veterans, senior citizens, and Christianity.

This vulgar program is far from family-friendly, and with a TV-14 DLV rating, you can be assured it is not for family viewing. This irresponsible and tasteless program is inappropriate for any age, but unfortunately, the age of the primary cast members may attract young viewers. “The Mick” airs on FOX on Tuesday evenings at 9:30 p.m./8:30 p.m. CT.

“The Mick” centers on Mackenzie “Mickey” Murphy, an irresponsible, foul-mouthed, alcoholic, pill-head who is forced into raising her rich sister’s intolerable kids after the sister is arrested.

The victims of this outrageous show are the young cast members, not to mention any children who view the program. The sexualization and moral corruption of these children is child exploitation at its worst. No child should be subjected to a bondage gag, violence, cross dressing, and sexual jokes.

TAKE ACTION

Please use the information we have provided on our website to contact Boost Mobile (owned by Sprint) and ask that they pull their financial support from “The Mick” before next week’s episode.

As a parent and a member of OneMillionMoms.com, I am greatly disappointed in Sprint’s decision to sponsor Fox’s "The Mick."

The content of this unbelievable program includes kids getting slapped in the face repeatedly, underage drinking, foul language, an underage threesome, heavy alcohol consumption, and drug use. This show also ridicules disabled veterans, senior citizens, and Christianity.

“The Mick” is twisted and warped entertainment that I am sure you do not want your company associated with. The victims of this outrageous program are the young cast members, not to mention any child who views the show. The sexualization and moral corruption of these children is child exploitation at its worst. No child should be subjected to a bondage gag, violence, cross dressing, and sexual jokes.

While your company is a household name, I do not agree with your financial backing of this program. I certainly hope your company's financial support of this type of television programming with advertising dollars is simply an oversight.

As a consumer, I am asking you to please pull your sponsorship before next week’s episode. My decision to support Sprint depends on it.

I look forward to hearing from you regarding my concern.
