Whether you agree with the spiritual side of this is not the issue. The issue is 'what are they trying to slip in under parents' noses?' Take the time to check it out, then do what you think you need to do. Whether that means boycotting, writing a letter, making a phone call...do SOMETHING.

This very thing is why I quit letting my children watch Nickelodeon when Linda Ellerbee did her little thing about homosexuals on this channel. they are just the epitome of evil. It's bad enough our channels keep running ads for the fag film festival...

Wow - I totally agree. Thanks for the heads-up!

Note to self: Boycott Nickelodeon. (which will be easy, since I don't watch it now!)

Hey, who owns Nickelodeon? What other channels do these pervs run?

Manoman.

The need for Johnny Cash music for children is becomming a forefront for civilization.

Ok, so maybe I'm kidding, that would be good, at least in my ideal world.

Other than that, this is long in the works, Madonna works on childrens book and PBS has AIDS muppets.

TV, kill it before it kills your kids.

Since the homos and pro-abortionists are either incapable of having children or murdering them before they are born, they are rapidly shrinking in number. Therefore they must find new people to recruit into their perversions. Typically from our children.

This isn't the first time that Nickelodeon got mixed-up with the pro-gay agenda either.

The Left has been targeting children to accept their orthodox vision of homosexuality for more than a generation.

Teachers Union Ties to 'Sexual Orientation' Advocacy Groups

There is a cadre of elitists who will stop at nothing to impose their vision for society upon children. They will brook no competing point of view, nor will they allow parents to opt-out. How is this done, and why?
  
Battle for Children's Minds Fought on All Fronts
A little known youth-media educational organization’s activities illustrate in microcosm a larger effort to influence children’s hearts and minds with a certain agenda. Although parents are mentioned as being among the intended audience, the resources are geared mainly for professional educators and youth organizations. It merits a closer look:

Any confirmation out there for such a Sarandon spot on Nickelodeon? Such e-mails are often urban myths.

Sheesh... it must be one of those queer days, eh? I just got this email from the liberal daughter of a strait male friend.

Subject: Thought you might like this....

25 reasons Why Gays should not be allowed to marry.

1. Homosexuality is not natural, much like eyeglasses, polyester, and birth control.

2. Marriage is valuable because it produces children, which is why we deny marriage rights to infertile couples and old people.

3. Obviously, gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.

4. Straight marriage, such as Britney Spears' 55-hour escapade, will be less meaningful if gay marriage is allowed.

5. Marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all: women are property, matches are arranged in childhood, blacks can't marry whites, Catholics can't marry Jews, divorce is illegal, and adultery is punishable by death.

6. Gay marriage should be decided by people, not the courts, because majority-elected legislatures have historically protected the rights of minorities.

7. Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why we have only one religion in America.

8. There is no separation between religious marriage and legal marriage, because there is no separation of church and state.

9. Devout, faithful Anglicans should never accept same-sex marriage, because it is an affront to the traditional family values upheld by Henry VIII and his wife, Catherine of Aragon, and his wife, Anne Boleyn, and his wife, Jane Seymour, and his wife, Anne of Cleves, and his wife, Catherine Howard, and his wife, Catherine Parr. They all knew the meaning of marriage and none of them lost their heads over the matter.

10. Married gay people will encourage others to be gay, in a way that unmarried gay people do not.

11. Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because dogs have legal standing and can sign marriage contracts.

12. Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That's why single parents are forbidden to raise children.

13. Gay marriage will change the foundation of society. Heterosexual marriage has been around for a long time, and we could never adapt to new social norms because we haven't adapted to things like suburban malls and tupperware parties.

14. Legal marriage will inspire gays to mimic the straight traditions of spiritual commitment ceremonies and celebratory parties, which is currently impermissible for them to do and which they have never done before.

15. Marriage is designed to protect the well-being of children. Gay people do not need marriage because they never have children from prior relationships, artificial insemination or surrogacy, or adoption.

16. Civil unions are a good option because "separate but equal" institutions are always constitutional. In fact, compared with marriage, civil unions are so attractive that straight people are calling dibs on them.

17. A man should not be able to marry whomever a woman can marry, and a woman should not be able to marry whomever a man can marry, because in this country we do not believe in gender equality.

18. If gays marry, some of straight people's tax dollars would end up going to families whose structure they may find morally objectionable. Clearly, it is more just to continue taking gay people's tax dollars to support straight families, who are going to heaven regardless of what anyone else thinks of them.

19. Gays should hold off on the marriage question until society is more accepting of them, because they are not part of society.

20. The people's voice must be heard on this issue. Therefore, we must have a referendum on a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage, because we can't think of any other way to discuss the issue.

21. Each state should decide for itself whether gay marriage will be recognized, because there is no "full faith and credit" clause that requires states to recognize each other's institutions.

22. Gay marriage attempts to replace natural heterosexual instinct with a cultural institution. Morality demands that we subordinate institutionalized commitment to raw, unfettered, biological impulse.

23. Gay marriages could very well suffer maladies like domestic violence and substance abuse. That's why we invented the Quality Control department to pre-approve the righteousness of all marriage applicants, such as convicted serial killer Richard Ramirez who married a woman while on Death Row.

24. Those who support gay marriage aim to overthrow the dominant culture, as evidenced by their enthusiasm to participate in it.

25. The country can't afford to provide benefits for married gay couples. That's why Bush would never consider spending $150 million on programs that encourage more straight people to get married.

Eventually all of this drivle becomes mind numbing... which, I suppose, is precisely the effect they seek to accomplish !!!

This is an example as to why those people were once excluded from society. Now we have "tolerance" and the recruitment starts. "Tolerance" as a referent today actually means; the inability to say yes or no, the inability to take a stand!

My children are no longer allowed to watch Nickelodeon for 2 reasons. The first was that my SO acccidently turned on DeGrassi The Next Generation (he was trying for Star Trek NG which was one channel down. LOL) at 4 in the afternoon. There were two teenage boys kissing. The same month, they showed kids talking about Dubya in some little commercial. 2 of the kids were raving liberal mouthpieces already and only the 3rd and last kids spoke positively about him. No more Nick for this family.

PSA's shown during Nick shows can come from either Nick or the cable or satellite provider.
My cable provider regularly runs tons of PSA's.

Is your friend certain that the PSA wasn't run from his local cable or sattelite provider?

Honestly, I just don't believe Nick would do something that dumb. In a hyper-competitive business that lives and dies by ratings, this would be suicidal.

I wanted to add that the guys who program the PSA's at local cable companies (as opposed to networks like Nick) are not the brightest, most responsible people. They're overworked, and paid next to nothing for a boring job.

I could easily believe that some guy working in the local cable office got a "Susan Sarandon PSA" in the mail, then just popped it into the rotation without even looking at it (or just barely looking at it and hardly listening while he was trying to do ten other things in the office.)

anyway, I'd definitely be interested if this could be confirmed that Nick played a pro-"gay love" PSA in the middle of Rugrats All Grown Up. like I said, I just can't believe Nick would do that.

Rosie Odonalds recreational sex parter has some kind of ad/programing job at Nickolodion.

We should be pushing the cable/satelite companies for Ala cart programming. Let those who PAY decide what they want. Why should I have to pay for recreational sex propaganda to be bundled?

How about this at least, force programmers to include "H" in the parental warnings for "homosexual content" then parents have the ability to use the parental controls to keep that content away from children. Seems REASONABLE to at lease WARN.
