    There's no such thing as a liberal Baptist, right? Right?

    I used to like GSN because of the older games shows that it played such as Scrabble, The Weakest Link, Tic Tac Dough, Press Your Luck, & $25,000 / $100,000 Pyramid. I think its revolting that they are catering to homosexuals with this new dating game of theirs.

    While I'm not surprised, I do find it disturbing that George Takei is a homosexual.

    I believe that Bill Clinton fits that description to a "T". However, I wouldn't consider him a true Baptist, much less a Christian.

    This is news to you? It's been the worst kept secret since, maybe, Robert Reed. I met Takei years ago (long before his life was public). I even worked with him on some local charitable causes. He dedicated much of his life and financial resources to the local community. While I don't respect his personal lifestyle choice, I still respect his contributions to the local community.

    I should know.
    I've wrote many comedic pieces that have never been given the light of day.
    Oh, well.

    I don't follow celebrity news as much as other people. I don't look up to celebrities you just don't know who they are. When they do or say something that you totally disagree with, then the person you put on a pedestal has let you down majorly. Contributions to society don't make person respectable. Its the way they live their life. I'm sure that Mr. Takei is a nice guy, but the life style he has chosen is a sinful one. I hope & pray that one day he'll repent & turn from that life style.

    I likewise pray for his repentenace, but his lifestyle choices do not negate his contributions to society, which, locally, have been immense. I won't pretend that his lifestyle doesn't exist, neither will I pretend that his contributions to society do not exist. If I'm ever asked to volunteer for something he's involved in, and it's a cause I believe in, then I will do so, for I might be the only Jesus he sees.

    Some Baptist churches bless or marry gay couples.

    OK.. I sacrificed my eyes, and need them washed out to bring you this information. The following companies advertised on this show on Saturday night, October 17, 2009 between 11:00 and 11:30 PM. I plan on sending each company an email in a couple days, and will upload my sample letter here so that those of you that want to do the same can. I plan on notifying these companies that they were advertising on a show that is actively promoting gay marriage… some companies may have not known their products were going to be promoted this way.. we will see what happens.

    Here is the list of companies

    Sony Pictures owns the show. The best info I can find is this: http://www.sony.net/csr.

    Campbells soup (3 separate commercials) http://www.campbellsoupcompany.com/ContactUs.aspx

    Hillshire Farms http://www.saralee.com/ContactUs.aspx

    Walmart (2 separate commercials) http://www.walmart.com/cservice/cu_comments_online.gsp?cu_heading=8

    Hersheys http://www.hersheys.com/contactus/contact-us-date.asp

    Ballyfitness.com http://www.ballyfitness.com/contact-us.aspx?culture=en

    Cheez-it http://www.cheez-it.com/cgi-bin/brandpages/faq/list.pl?Company=145&skin=cheez-it

    Swoopo From their website “We're always interested in your feedback and would love to hear from you. We are particularly interested in hearing personal stories from our winners. Please email us at [email protected]”

    Fisherprice From their website “Visit our newly redesigned Customer Service site for appropriate contact information
    http://www.service.mattel.com/ “


    Geico http://www.geico.com/about/contactus/email/

    Out of all of these I am most anxious to see how Geico will reply, especially because this is their response to an email I sent them concerning them dropping advertising for Glenn Beck…

    Let's see what happens...
