Is Shoprite Family Friendly?

While I wait on speaking to media relations again or directly with the owner of Shoprite, I had to do a little shopping today. I didn't bring my daughter with me today because I knew they didn't do anything as of yet. I took this with my phone. Notice that there's a kids' craft magazine right underneath Cosmopolitan. This is at eye level of children! To be continued....

Why Cosmopolitan Is Smut

As a proponent of free speech, I'm not trying to ban Cosmopolitan. Although I think the world would be a better place without Cosmopolitan, that's not my intention. My goal is to remove it and similar magazines from checkout counters & displays within a child's view. At the very least, cover the front covers. Cosmopolitan is exposing young children/teens to sex. If your child cannot read, they eventually will.  

As a parent of two young daughters, I need to make sure my family is safe from explicit material. It's getting harder and harder to do. Many deviants control mass media. Shopping should be a family-friendly environment. I shouldn't have to worry about my children being exposed to hyper-sexualized material when going food shopping. Cosmopolitan qualifies as explicit material. Our culture has been desensitized over the years through hyper-sexualized marketing. That doesn't mean it's ok. When you become a parent, your parental wisdom kicks in and realizes that many companies prey on young children to push their agenda. #1 Their covers are over-the-top and are not family-friendly by any means. #2 Their front page on their website is even worse. It even has graphic images of sex acts. How many readers of these magazines have children and leave this magazine in plain view?

For instance; Here is some of the agenda Cosmopolitan proudly pushes:
"From then on, the magazine continued to push the envelope with articles on provocative (and often taboo) topics like man-meeting vacations and extramarital affairs. Soon it had a huge — and fiercely loyal — readership."

"Cosmopolitan put female sexuality right out there on the front page, where everyone could see it at the grocery store," adds Janna L. Kim, PhD, postdoctoral research fellow at the Center for Research on Gender and Sexuality at San Francisco State University."

"Over the years, the magazine has consistently given women permission to steer their own sexuality," says Joyce Brothers, PhD, renowned psychologist and syndicated columnist for Parade magazine. "It empowered them by giving them the confidence to take the lead in relationships and in bed."

Yes, many people like reading trash. But like food, trash in, trash out. Feeding your mind with hyper-sexualized material distorts what sex is. I'm sure a good amount reading this will not agree.  

In a society that thinks abortion is ok, being a child rapists is ok, being a President who cheats on his wife is ok, being an athlete who cheats & does drugs is ok, defending David Letterman for cheating is ok, I'm not too optimistic. However, it's my duty as a parent to protect my kids. Don't just sit on the sidelines, join the good fight...

Cosmopolitan Smut For September 2009

 

50 Sex tricks? Tricks is a street term, meaning a prostitute completing a job. That's what they equate their readers to, but of course they won't admit it.  This magazine
has cultivated a mentality of filth and has brought street terminology to the mainstream. Our culture has declined since this magazine & others have made their way to the newsstands. 

These people that put this smut out are depraved. They not only make sex dirty, but they cultivate their readers minds to think like nymphomaniacs or hyper-sexualized perverts. Throw it in the trash where it belongs...

Remove Cosmopolitan From The Checkout Counter

Shoppers Against Smut

The reason I'm starting this Shoppers Against Smut movement is to protect my children as well as other families who are bombarded with trash when they shop. Something as simple and wholesome as food shopping has become a haven for trashy magazines that have nothing to do with food and everything to do with corrupting children and young minds.


Families are the biggest demographic when it comes to shopping, especially when it comes to food. The first shopping experience I want to clean up are the food markets. Trashy magazines that are geared towards young women need to be removed. Young children should not be seeing or reading the garbage that's on the front covers, never mind what's actually in these filthy rags.


I realize this is a big undertaking, but I'm convinced our children are being preyed upon by sexual deviants in the media and enough is enough! I hope to establish a community so we can tackle this in all 50 states... 
As you can see from the latest issue of Cosmopolitan, this does not belong in plain view of children. It has no business being in a checkout line of a food market where families shop with their children. I will be planning events in the coming weeks and months ahead. Again, we need your help. If you have a child, please join us in this battle...

The first magazine that we're going after is Cosmopolitan. If you would like to contribute to this, please email us [at] shoppersagainstsmut [at] gmail [dot] com and join our community, Shoppers Against Smut.
