One Million Moms (OMM) is an anti-gay pro-censorship group based on the ideals of "tradional family values". The organization operates largely online. It does not name a founder or any members, however it does collect money through its website. [1]
JC Penney & Ellen DeGeneres
The group has protested the store JC Penney[2] in response to the company's choice to adopt openly homosexual comedienne Ellen DeGeneres as a spokesperson.
Modern Family
OMM has also targeted the ABC program Modern Family, attempting to force advertisers to pull support from the program. This is due to the show portraying a male homosexual couple, as well as an utterance of profanity.[3]
Other campaigns
The group has also targeted companies such as Macy's, Mattel, Jenny Craig, Family Dollar. They led a campaign to get Ben & Jerry's to discontinue their flavor "Schweddy Balls", named after a Saturday Night Live skit. [4]
Critisism
OMM has taken credit for the interruption of a second season of the MTV series [[2]].[5] OMM purports their actions are to protect children from 'inappropriate' media. However, Skins is branded as a Teen Drama as well as being hosted on the racy network MTV, and not targeted to young children or even on a network that airs children's programming. OMM appears to favor mob-mentality harassment to enforce mass censorship over the parental responsibility to keep children from watching adult networks, or the parenting skills to teach children moral skills, instead letting them learn them from the entertainment industry.
