Urge VTech To Pull Sponsorship from 'Impastor'
Update: VTech has responded to our concerns and issued this response:
"We recently became aware of an error in our advertising programming which caused our product commercial to air during a television show that does not fit in with our family-friendly brand positioning. This unfortunate error has been corrected and appreciate those who have brought this to our attention."
We have thanked them on your behalf. No further action is needed, but you can keep their decision in mind while doing your Christmas shopping this year.
You are making a HUGE difference!
Original Alert:
TV Land continues to air the sacrilegious program "Impastor" on Wednesday evenings at 10:30 p.m. ET/9:30 p.m. CT. It revolves around Buddy Dobbs, a gambling, pot-smoking slacker, on the run from a loan shark, who steals a man's identity and ends up posing as the new gay pastor in a small, tight-knit town.
The previews which air earlier in the evening include sex, theft, murder, drug use, and foul language.
This show not only depicts pastors in a negative light, but the entire program will also be based on lies about Christianity. TV Land has crossed the line by belittling the Christian faith with foul jokes.
We need to send a loud and clear message to advertisers that this kind of programming is insulting and completely unacceptable. Networks like TV Land continue to mock Christianity. "Impastor" is another attempt to distort the truth about Christianity. There is strength in numbers so forward this to everyone you know!
TAKE ACTION
Please use the information we have provided to contact VTech and ask that they pull their financial support from "Impastor."
