Brave New Films Presents: Fox News Porn [VIDEO]

"Can you quote us SO not giving a shit?"
That was FOX's classy response to the half a million viewers who saw our FOX Attacks: Decency video.
Looks like we got to FOX this time, and it wasn't a debate about policy in Iran that did it, or a video displaying their racism or even our coverage of their abject hypocrisy on environmental issues.
No, what got the attack dogs at FOX hungry and looking for flesh was none other than an expose of their smut peddling! It makes sense in a way, because advertisers tend not to like their products being promoted between segments of soft porn. And a large part of their conservative base hates this as well, which might be why one Christian organization compared the way women were dressed on FOX to the manner in which "hookers" are attired.
So what did we do?
With the News Hounds help, we found enough FOX lasciviousness for a whole porn site!! FOXNEWSPORN.com
Really, we did. And it wasn't that hard to do. In fact, if you thought FOX Attacks: Decency was a glimpse into the lustful thoughts of your favorite FOX anchor, you ain't seen nothing yet.
Satire and parody aside, we think this is extremely objectionable, misogynistic content. We still don't understand how FOX is allowed to call this "news." So let's make this campaign count, and hit FOX where it hurts -- their Fair and Balance Sheet.
Thousands of volunteers have been helping create a massive database of local FOX advertisers. Now it's time to start calling them. Pick one or two to call and ask them to please not advertise on a channel that shows Girls Gone Wild during prime time, and exploits women 24/7. Let them know in very personal terms why this matters to you.
Here's a list of FOX advertisers near you.
