AFA Action Alert!Adelphia enters cable porn business"Adelphia executives have abandoned a moral obligation to our families and theirs."Don Wildmon, AFA ChairmanFebruary 3, 2003 Last year, Adelphia was the largest cable company in America that
refused to offer pornography. This year, the company is changing direction
and will soon begin distribution of "adult programming."In a December, 2002, internal memo, obtained by AFA, CEO Erkie Kailbourne says the motive behind offering adult sex pay-per-view programming is based on "enhancing stakeholder value." Kailbourne told managers and vice-presidents Playboy TV and other pay-per-view movie channels would become part of the company's programming offerings beginning in early 2003. "Adelphia executives have abandoned a moral obligation to our families and theirs," said AFA Chairman Don Wildmon. "The desire to make money has proven more obsessive than holding to values that support strong marriages and personal integrity. Adelphia's decision has increased the possibility for our children, and their own children, to be exposed to pornography." Wildmon says Adelphia's decision is an indication of how corporate executives have placed their personal careers ahead of their wives and children, and he wonders how many other families will be affected by the effects of Adelphia's porn distribution. "Pornography has two primary effects," Wildmon says, "It inherently teaches boys and men to de-value and disrespect a woman as a person, and it causes married men to lust after someone who is not their wife." ACTION NEEDEDPlease let Adelphia know their distribution of porn will have long-term effects on our nation, our families and our children.After you send your letter, remember to forward this to a friend!
