Rogers has confirmed the removal of these titles from their On Demand menu effective immediately. We achieved our objective and I will be monitoring their platform over the coming weeks to ensure full compliance.
Thank you so much for reading this petition. An even greater thanks if you sign it.
This petition is part of a campaign to try and pressure Rogers Communications (a Canadian-based corporation that is the largest provider of cable to Canadians) into stopping their sale of pornography--On Demand, PPV, and otherwise.
The titles and descriptions of the "action" that are readily available on their On Demand section include viciously misogynist, racist titles. Many are suggestive of child sexual abuse and rape.
A sampling of a dozen titles are:
8 Young Juicy Playthings
9 Cocksucking Daughters
18 Y/O Whore
Bang that Black Bitch White Boy
Bitch Banging Bitch 2
Filthy Asian Whores
Fuck Dolls 6
Interracial Hole Stretchers 6
My Slutty Daughter 3
Sex Slaves
Slant Eyed Sluts
Throat Gaggers 10
The discriptions often make the misogyny, racism, and violence even more explicit.
This is part of a campaign to stop Rogers from being perveyors of pornography; just reducing or stopping the most blatant examples from being sold by Rogers is no solution, because pornography corporations that are producing in the most misogynist/racist/pedophilic examples also make pornography seen as less so.
A fantastic explanation of the pornography industry, including of companies which Rogers sells, can be found here: http://video.google.com/videoplaydocid=5003155114018800220&q=gail+dines&ei=aL0OSM2_DIjI-gGu8tytBA.
The scale of this response has forced a direct conversation with the corporate office. I have secured a meeting with the provincial media relations team to present the list of titles identified in the petition. I will provide a report on their response once the discussion concludes.

Exactly. Misogynistic violence, incest, pedophilia; nothing is too extreme for Rogers. They are SCUM.

No to corporate porn. Stuff is unwatchable and should not be seen by anyone, even as torture.
