FX: Letter to sponsors of 'Always Sunny...'

Email sent to Autotrader, Big Lots, Wagner Spray Tech, and Coin Star

Bluntly put, the FX Network airs the filthiest and most offensive content on cable television...and AutoTrader.com has been identified as the primary advertising sponsor of their program "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia."

Are you aware that included in the episodes your company advertised on, the "GD" and the "s" words were used 52 times in a single hour? If this wasn't enough, it contained another 45 offensive profanities.

Always Sunny averaged a hard profanity every 38 seconds! For example, in the one-hour, the show used God's name in vain 23 times, the "s" word 29 times, and 45 other profanities.

Other companies have already put the FX Network on their "blackout" list due to the graphic and offensive content of its programs like "Nip/Tuck," "The Shield," "Rescue Me," and "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia."

I strongly encourage your company to join them in a show of support for our children by refusing to advertise on FX Network.

I look forward to hearing from you very soon regarding my request.
