Parent's Television Council announces worst TV sponsors of 2012



"Bad" sponsors sponsored shows with sexual content, foul language & violence like Smash or America's Next Top Model.

“Good” companies sponsored shows with positive, family-friendly themes like Minute to Win It.


Our list of the best and worst TV advertisers is meant to serve as a guide to holiday shoppers who support family-friendly advertisers, knowing the impact those companies have on today’s TV programming and, by extension, on our entertainment media culture,” said PTC president Tim Winter.

Just in time for the official start to holiday season, the Parents Television Council® released its annual list of the “Top Ten Best and Worst Advertisers” for the 2011-2012 television season.

"If consumers are considering where to shop, Wal-Mart and CVS landed on our best list, but Target secured a spot on the ‘worst’ list."

And this is where I continue giving my half my paychecks to Target

Do parents actually pay attention to this shit though?

dont forget target's anti-gay donations.
squishinator 20th-Nov-2012 04:05 am (UTC)
who gives a shit? I judge people who care about things like this, like enough that they wouldnt shop at target bc their ad played during a show that isn't family friendly. 90% of shows aren't.

damn suburgatory ruined my red streak

I don't watch anything but the "red" shows and a lot of the ones they're considering bad are laughable.
odontv 20th-Nov-2012 04:14 am (UTC)
Red is their WORST rating. These shows are the WORST THINGS ON TELEVISION.
365reasonswhy 20th-Nov-2012 04:21 am (UTC)
I know, that was what I was saying.

A lot of the red shows are pretty silly. I can't imagine a show more harmless than Castle. But I guess it ended up on their list because Beckett and Castle have had *gasp* premarital sex and Castle is divorced and doesn't know who his dad is.
uss_galactica 20th-Nov-2012 05:37 am (UTC)
Yeah, most of the shows I watch are red, or not rated.

The only ones that are yellow are Once Upon A Time, and The Simpsons.

In my mind, the PTC is one person and that person is Angela from The Office.

wtf xfactor is family friendly but the voice isn't?
xeroxicide__ 20th-Nov-2012 04:29 am (UTC)
Britney's titties are smaller than Christina. Therefore there's less of the devils handiwork on xfactor.

simon's hairy revealed chest is very obscene and unsuitable for children

These super-christian parents need to haul themselves back to the 90's. bazinga.
christoph 20th-Nov-2012 04:18 am (UTC)
imagine having the PTC as your controlling conservative parents that wont let you watch or do anything they dont rate "green"
365reasonswhy 20th-Nov-2012 04:22 am (UTC)
I grew up with quite a few people who had parents who did judge what their kids could watch or listen to by standards like these. SO many of them became hellions once they left home and finally could do/watch/hear what they wanted.
sunshinefun27 20th-Nov-2012 04:27 am (UTC)
That's what my parents were like, pretty much. I wasn't allowed to watch most PG movies until I was ten and then no PG-13 until I was 15 and then they eventually got one of those ClearPlay things. I was only allowed to watch PBS/Disney Channel-no Cartoon Network except for Scooby Doo, my mom was against Spongebob, Rugrats, and Teletubbies. As a teenager, I was allowed to watch like Jeopardy, Doctor Who, some shows on PAX when it was around, Psych and Monk and if my mom had screened the episode, 7th Heaven.
365reasonswhy 20th-Nov-2012 04:34 am (UTC)
They let Psych go by, but not 7th Heaven? lol They probably didn't get a lot of Shawn and Gus' jokes? Not that Psych is all that naughty, it's really not, but it definitely is naughtier than 7th Heaven ever was.
tragickingdomxo 20th-Nov-2012 05:06 am (UTC)
My parents were kind of like that, I wasn't allowed to see PG movies for the longest time as a child :/
a_klutz 20th-Nov-2012 09:24 am (UTC)
Up until I was about 13, my mum was pretty strict with what I could watch and listen to. I wasn't allowed to watch anything over PG lol but I don't necessary think that's a bad thing.
A lot of shit on TV and movies is not appropriate for children and I think parents really SHOULD take a harder stance on what their young, impressionable teens are watching.
sunshinefun27 20th-Nov-2012 04:23 am (UTC)
lol, how is Bob's Burgers not red though?
kydeon 20th-Nov-2012 04:27 am (UTC)
lol seriously, they must have watched like one episode

"Sexual content is infrequent but occasionally provocative, such as references to transvestite prostitutes, “penis pills,” and a burger called “The Child Molester,” which comes with a side order of candy. Language is mild, and has included “damn,” and “hell.” Violence is not a problem for the series."
mementox 20th-Nov-2012 04:49 am (UTC)
Hhahahaha
pipsdixiechick 20th-Nov-2012 08:09 am (UTC)
LOL I would love to see the looks on their faces if they watched the other H. Jon Abraham-voiced series, Archer. They'd all die of a collective heart attack.
thalassaemia 20th-Nov-2012 05:37 pm (UTC)
lol did they not see the "Art Crawl" episode?
animalyears 20th-Nov-2012 04:26 am (UTC)
i dont understand this shit at all, my parents didnt care what i watched when i was growing up and i turned out fine
alienclit 20th-Nov-2012 04:28 am (UTC)
I think we should have porn on tv after midnight. Like major networks.

Like if your kids aren't asleep then oh well. They get to see some titties. And a dick or two.

I don't know who I would be right now if I hadn't woken up in the middle of the night at age 8 or something ridic like that and couldn't get back to sleep, so I went looking for a video to watch since this was pre-DVD. I found one labeled Cinderella (a taped copy), popped it in and started watching. Only... it was the 70's porno version. I watched the whole thing and then discovered there was another porn taped after that. And it was hot and I hid the tape away to go back to over the years and still managed not to actually have non-oral penetrative sex until I was dating my husband. Porn (and later a set of books my aunt sent to my mom) fueled my sexual fantasies and made me realizing that none of the guys I was dating were going to give me anything like what I'd seen and read about, so I learned about my own body and got comfortable in my own skin.

I was not expecting this response when I typed that comment. You go gurl!
thalassaemia 20th-Nov-2012 05:40 pm (UTC)
I mourn the days of when porn(softcore tho) and sex shows would begin airing around midnight on Canadian channels all throughout the week.
musicpsych 20th-Nov-2012 04:34 am (UTC)
...and this affected absolutely no one's buying decisions.
carazon 20th-Nov-2012 04:34 am (UTC)
rme Christians. ofc they put Jesus Christ and Goddamn at the very worst of swears. l m f a o.
alienclit 20th-Nov-2012 04:37 am (UTC)
ikr. I hate when they bleep out "god" in goddamn then leave the "damn" in. It just reminds me of how puritanical this country still is.
