Complain to FCC about overtly sexual Overstock advertisements
Edited on Fri Dec-10-04 01:43 PM by Walt Starr
Remember Overstock.com? Remember how they sent Fharenhype 911 to the troops?

Have you seen the ads with the Nordic looking woman experiencing the "big 'O'" (the phone number is something like 1-800-thebigO).

These ads are overtly sexual and are grounds for complaints every time they air!

This becomes double the revenge because they never thought advertisements would have complaints filed and the ads are aired over and over and over, thus are eligible for a fine EVERY TIME!

We could put Overstock out of business while sticking it to the very people who've been sticking it to the left for decades!

So the next time you see an Overstock sex ad, complain here:

http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/complaints.html

Or BETTER YET, as described in the first response to this thread, Complain via the group that complains the most!

I kind of like using the form the RW site set up to bitch to the FCC. It looks like its coming from them! LOL

Does anyone know what "STANDARDS" they are using over there at the FCC lately?

2. another Repug corporation sliming up the public's airwaves
That ad has more sex in it than the Coors Beer "Swedish Bikini Team."

3. Could you tell me about Overstock.com?
I don't know what you are referring to. Could you tell me what Overstock did? As for the commercials, I'll look for them -- so far, I've been spared. What shows do they sponsor?

4. Overstock.com sells stuff over the web.
during the runup to the election, they sent literally thousands of copies of Fharenhype 911 to the troops in Iraq to indoctrinate them against Kerry.

5. It's All about the "O"
The Big "O." The ads are as subtle as a brick.

The woman is awesome looking, btw. But don't complain too bitterly. The way this administration is going, soon we'll only have Overstock commercials and Clairol Herbal Essence commercials to yank to!

6. Yeah, but Overstock overtly supports the GOP
in addition to being overtly sexual.

8. Then fuck 'em
But not in the good way. File away...Call Brent Bozo-elle. He seems to have quite a bit of experience in determining what is "decent" enough for the rest of the country to watch.
