Default If you are offended by the content of the Mini, write here:

If you feel the Moore screenplay is offensive to you in some way, you can take action. Write the Parents Television Council.

http://www.parentstv.org/

We may be able to get them to put this production on a list, which states that the film will not be family oriented.

Also, this organization is in the enviable position to be in direct contact with many of the nations largest advertisers and have actually got some of them to pull advertising from various shows due to their content.

Be sure to include any elements of the screenplay you feel to be offensive beyond the “It’s not BSG” level. And why you feel it may not be appropriate for children.

This may include, but not limited to:

1) Violence inflicted on an infant child
2) Sexually deviant content
3) Disrespect for parental figures
4) Disrespect for authority figures
5) Poor portrayal of the military
6) usage of the name of a formerly family friendly show to pass off Soft Core themes to young viewers

Feel free to cite specific incidents from the online screenplays. I would recommend not including any “fanboy” themes, i.e.,” they’re turning Starbuck into a girl, it’s not a continuation, Sci Fi has ignored us, etc.” They won’t really give a crap about any of that. Their main concern is the pushing of trash TV onto the youth of America. And there’s enough of that in this mini to write about without resorting to “fanboy” comments.

Make sure to ask them to please initiate an action alert on this production. Above all be respectful, they have a gallant cause.

Be sure to point them to the official website so they know what you are talking about:

http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/

http://us.imdb.com/Title?0314979

Also, point them to the online copies of the leaked first draft, so they know we’re not just making this stuff up:

http://battlestarfanclub.com/battlestar/bgarticle26.htm

http://www.battlestarnewyork.com/MooreRonscript.doc

You may also want to point them to the review of the actual shooting script in which it is describes a sexy robotic female crushing the skull of an infant child:

http://www.cylon.org/bsg2003/remake-review-01.html


You may also want to point them to the Master Advertiser Boycott list to help them out with their homework:

http://www.colonialfleets.com/forums...&threadid=3344

You can write them here:

Where do you get all this energy JJ?

I get exhausted just watching you.

Anyway PM me I am in the process of finishing the DeSanto Script review as well as that letter I am writing in reference to our secret plan.

I could really use your help on the letter because I am burning out.
