Saturday afternoon, Channel 45, WBFF-TV, Baltimore
Major League Game of the Week, Pregame Coverage

Dad, how do you explain this to your kids?

During the pregame program for Fox Network's, MLB Baseball, Larry Flynt's Hustler Club was advertised as part of a "Tailgating Update from Pickles Pub." The pitch was to find local girls to audition to become "Hustle Honeys" at the Baltimore Hustler Club, advertised as a "Gentleman's Club" in this spot. While there was nothing more than gals in t-shirts shown in this commercial, the product they're peddling has no place on commercial television particularly on family programing, a Saturday afternoon baseball game, for God's sake!!!

Larry Flynt, of course, is the father of Hustler magazine, a sleazy vile publication that sought magazine space right next to Penthouse and Playboy in local news stands. It wasn't long after Flynt's arrival that such magazines were either put behind the counter or not sold altogether at local convenience stores. Sadly, Flynt has publications far worse than Hustler, as in Barely Legal. It just gets worse from there. Flynt made millions and has used he wealth in many vulgar enterprises including some of his political activity. While we recently took our shots at Steve Francis, founder of Girls Gone Wild, he's a lightweight compared to the world class scumbag, Flynt.

If guys want to support Larry Flynt purchasing his magazine and attending his club, that's their business. Likewise, if young ladies chose to defile themselves and offer themselves up as commodities in the sleaze market, as long as they do so freely and fully understand what's expected of them, that's their business. There's a special ring of hell awaiting Mr. Flynt when mortal days are done. It seems his politics, life-style, and business interests all sync together so masterfully. If the Democrats are the big tent party, the least they could do is shovel up the horse doo-doo and discard of it properly, but Flynt is a huge supporter of lots of their candidates and pet causes.

Advertising vulgar stuff on the public airwaves is OUR business. Why should a father have to answer a question from a kid, "Daddy, what's a gentleman's club?" Young man, you'll find out soon enough, to be sure. WBFF-TV and their sponsor, Pickles Pub, have no business promoting sexploitation during baseball game coverage. What should be more All-American as in Hot Dogs, Apple Pie, and the Girl Next Door than watching a baseball game?

Apparently, these slime buckets are perfectly happy enticing the girl next door to be a porno princess down on the block, aren't they? Hustler Honey, it's heartbreaking to think about. Trying out for the Ravens Cheerleaders -- that's more like it.

Shame on Channel 45, the Sinclair Broadcast Group, and their management team who would cater to such vulgar instincts among local sports fans. This is the same station that has sold plenty of ad space to Joe Francis for Girls Gone Wild and airs spots every night for kinky phone services as if any of the gals really look like the models in the television spots. David D. Smith, the President and CEO of the Sinclair Group, one of the largest owners and operators of local television stations nationwide headquartered in Cockeysville Maryland, has a long history of shady dealings and bad behavior. Gee, what kind of person would we expect these days to be a big-time media mogul. Would Ruppert Murdock, world-wide media big shot, disapprove of one of his local affiliates hawking a convicted felon and pornographer's product in support of his programing? One would hope so. Channel 45 actually has a pretty decent local news format especially compared to WJZ-TV and WMAR-TV.

If you don't like this situation, why not politely share your thoughts with the folks at WBFF-TV? Let them know this bothers you, affects your viewship, and is something you do share as a concern with others. Keep it sweet, but make your point!
