Before you read the news story, I ask you this: How can a TV show be considered Illegal Pornography?? Video Below.
The Coalition for the War on Illegal Pornography believes that NBC’s new series “The Playboy Club” is promoting the cause they are fighting against.
The group believes that the show will contribute to the sexual exploitation of women and promote the acceptance of pornography all while making a profit.
“Since the 50s, sleazy Hugh Hefner and his Playboy Magazine has pushed a philosophy which dictated that, to the 'sophisticated man,' the female is a mere toy to be used, abused and discarded. That philosophy has inflicted unimaginable harm to our society, now documented by years of research,” Patrick A. Trueman, the President of Morality in Media said in a statement.
“Today – with the cooperation of NBC and the network's use of the public airwaves – Playboy is poised to cause even more harm, this time bringing its sleaze directly into America's living rooms. We don't need NBC to pour more fuel to that fire," he added.
Trueman wants citizens to sign a pledge at www.CloseTheClubOnNBC.com to help halt production of the series.
“The Playboy Club” is scheduled to be a part of NBC’s lineup this fall.
Screw the prudes and watch the trailer here. I think this will be cool to watch. The show is about:
It's the early '60s, and the legendary Playboy Club in Chicago is the door to all your fantasies... and the key is the most sought-after status symbol of its time.
Step inside the seductive world of the Bunny, the epitome of beauty and service, and rub shoulders with the decade's biggest mobsters, politicos and entertainers (like Tina Turner and Sammy Davis, Jr.) With all these larger than life ambitions, there are even greater secrets. Like when innocent new Bunny Maureen - who wants to take the world by storm - accidentally kills one of the Windy City's most powerful mafia bosses... and the only person capable of covering it up and protecting her is Nick Dalton, a man who once worked for the mob but is about to run for district attorney. Bunny Alice is married but hiding an explosive personal life while Bunny Janie is running from a past that threatens to catch up with her. It seems everyone has a secret - none more so than Maureen, who may not even be the innocent orphan she appears to be. Thank goodness Hef's Playboy Mansion is open after hours for a little R&R... and burying your past.
From Academy Award-winning Executive Producer Brian Grazer, Executive Producer Chad Hodge (Tru Calling), and Director Alan Taylor (Mad Men) comes a provocative new series about a time and place that challenged the social mores, where a visionary created an empire, and an icon changed American culture.
