Three More Sponsors Abandon "Good Christian Bitches" By Rev Ted Pike Al-Jazeerah, CCUN, April 9, 2012 Three more Good Christian Bitches commercial advertisers, Scrubbing Bubbles, Pedigree and Royal Caribbean, declare that, although their ads appeared on previous shows, they will not be sponsoring the Christian-bashing sitcom in the future. This brings to nine the confirmed defections of corporate supporters of GCB. Scrubbing Bubbles writes: “It was a single advertisement mistake. We profile every show to see if it fits with our consumer base and GCB’s profile didn’t fit so no advertisement will be airing on GCB in the future.” Pedigree (Mars Petcare US) says: “Our advertisements are not meant to serve as an endorsement of any specific point of view and moving forward, we have ensured that all of our advertising is redirected to programming that resonates better with pet parents.” Royal Caribbean similarly says their ad on GCB was an advertisement mistake. “Royal Caribbean International does not fund, sponsor or is affiliated in any way with the show GCB.” It says that any recurrence of their ad on the show is contrary to their wishes. Such responsiveness is a powerful indication that NPN’s new program of providing the total list of sponsors to protesters is paying off. Although it takes more work, dedicated fighters for freedom have found at least three more sponsors who are sympathetic to the objections of concerned Americans. It’s time for our boycott to get into high gear. We are now doing serious damage to the sponsor base of GCB. Many good people have been on the sidelines, convinced there’s "nothing we can do.” Persuade them to get onboard our fighting battleship as, in the next few weeks, we convince a host of GCB sponsors to jump ship while we send the series to the bottom. Certainly, the least we can do is guarantee ABC will not try to permanently schedule GCB as a substitute to Desperate Housewives next season. We also will be powerfully serving notice to Jewish big media that they should think twice before launching another such attack on Christianity. (See, Jews Confirm Big Media is Jewish).
WHY TWO "GOOD CHRISTIAN BITCHES" ON EASTER? On December 25, 1977 Knesset passed Israel’s anti-missionary law, mandating a possible five-year prison sentence for any Christian offering so little as a tract or cup of coffee to an Israeli as part of witnessing to him. That law has never been rescinded. The date it was passed was chosen to send a powerfully threatening message to idealistic Christians landing at Ben-Gurion Airport. This, in my own words, was their message: There is no free speech for Christians to witness as they like in Israel. Israel wants your dollars, your fighter planes, your unconditional support and blessing. We do not want any mention of your Jesus in the public squares of Israel. If you defy the law, you could go to prison—or at least be deported. The Jews of Disney/ABC sneeringly send a similarly pointed message to intimidated and unprotesting American Christians, cowering before success of ABC's Christian-bashing sitcom, Good Christian Bitches (GCB). Their message, in my own words: Have you noticed we've scheduled a double GCB on Easter? We're taking this opportunity to defile the most sacred day of Christianity, even above Christmas. We'll fill millions of minds with anti-Christian filth after they've heard Jesus praised all day. Christians, the time has passed when you can stand against us. From now on, we’re going to push filth down the throats of you and your children, and there’s nothing you can do about it. And we’re just getting started. Look at your leaders. They cringe before us. They know we Jews are behind GCB, Hollywood, and big media in America (See, Jews Confirm Big Media is Jewish). They’re too afraid of being called anti-semitic to criticize our mockery of Christians. They can’t even come out with a few statements of protest. Get used to us calling your women ‘shiksas’ or ‘bitches’ or any whorish name we please. We’re beginning to rule America in the fullest sense. We, God’s chosen people, are your overlords. You are our chattel. We are delighted there is indeed no outrage, as Rush Limbaugh observed. That is as it should be. It is unseemly for the ‘goyim’ to criticize or even question those destined to rule. How Do We Respond? How do we respond to the Jews of Disney/ABC as they push forward to make Good Christian Bitches a permanent fixture of Sunday evening television in the years to come? (See, Jewish ABC Airs "Good Christian Bitches") Three thousand years ago, because of national sin, the Hebrews were taken over by the Philistines, just as Christian America now is ruled by Jewish political and media control. Alone, Samson stood up to oppose the Philistines. Empowered by supernatural strength and courage, he accomplished many victories, shaking Philistine power and morale. Like most modern “Christian” leaders before the GCB threat, the elders of Israel came to Samson and said: “Don’t you know that the Philistines are rulers over us?” Samson, never an intellectual, replied gutturally: “As they did to me, so I do to them.” Yet Samson had a dogged determination that the Philistines would not triumph. They would not destroy God’s people and extinguish hope of a coming Redeemer, Jesus. The Redeemer did come, thanks to God and Samson. Jesus Christ is the Redeemer Who will be trashed and spit upon for two hours this Easter Sunday evening. Do you have the grit of a Samson to similarly protect our Lord? Prove it by taking action, not with the jawbone of an ass, but with the following phone numbers and emails the Lord has provided you. List of GCB Sponsors Phone and email with this message: I object to your advertising support of ABC’s Christian-bashing sitcom, GCB ("Good Christian Bitches"). We are presently boycotting your products. Kraft, Pepsi, Progressive, BareEscentuals, Marshalls, Lindt, Royal Caribbean, Pedigree, and Scrubbing Bubbles have shown themselves more sensitive to millions of Christian consumers than have you. We expect you to immediately make an official statement ending your advertising on GCB. Again, please notify me immediately if you receive any communication from a sponsor suggesting they have ended GCB advertising support. Call (503) 631-3808 or emailtedpike@truthtellers.org. MARSHALLS EXITS "GOOD CHRISTIAN BITCHES" By Rev. Ted Pike 28 Mar 12
Another corporate giant, Marshall’s, responding to your calls and emails has joined Kraft, Pepsi, Huggies, Progressive, and Bare Escentuals in ending advertising on GCB. Here is their statement: Thank you for contacting Marshalls regarding our recent advertising during the show GCB. Your view of the show has provided us with an invaluable perspective and we sincerely regret any offense that our advertising during this program has caused. Please be assured that we are committed to upholding the highest standards possible as to the nature of the programming within which our advertising appears, and do everything to ensure that this happens. We agree that this was not the case during this broadcast and will no longer be buying advertising space on this particular program. Once again, please accept our appreciation for having discussed your views with us. This is powerful evidence that even a dedicated minority is still powerfully able to shake loose GCB’s sponsors. It is time now, I believe, for all determined patriots still in the fight to make one more email and phone surge with this message: Please know that I continue to object to your sponsorship of ABC’s Christian-bashing sitcom, GCB ("Good Christian Bitches"). I and my friends are presently boycotting you. I hope you are aware that Kraft, Pepsi, Huggies, Progressive, Bare Escentuals and Marshalls have shown themselves more sensitive to the feelings of tens of millions of Christian consumers than have you. I and my friends expect you to come forth immediately with a similar official statement that you have ended advertising on GCB. Media Blackout While the media gave publicity to exit of Kraft from GCB sponsorship, there is clearly a blackout on the fact that five, and now six major corporate sponsors have left. For this reason, I doubt if most GCB sponsors even know that an impressive number of fellow advertisers have ended support. It is up to us to do an end run around media censorship and let sponsors know that, if they terminate GCB support, they have powerful corporate friends doing the same. Email this message right now. It’s always most effective to express your complain by phone. There are other groups boycotting but none to my knowledge include the phone and email information which is clearly impacting these media giants so strongly. This is no time to lose heart. Over the past four days, four sponsors have given up on GCB. This is a clear trend we can continue to accelerate if we keep on the offensive. Here is the updated list of the remaining sponsors: ======================== List of GCB Sponsors Phone and email with this message: I object to your advertising support of ABC’s Christian-bashing sitcom, GCB ("Good Christian Bitches").
