This petition has come about as I am sick and tired to the back teeth of settling down to watch a film and then suddenly, without warning, being subjected to offensive blasphemy. Even PG and 12 rated films readily blaspheme the name of Jesus Christ now. In stark and glaring contrast, the TV and film industry generally do not generally tend to disrespect and drag the names of other religious leaders through the mud (for example Mohammed, or Buddha). Why should we Christians stand for this?
At the very least, it would be helpful if DVDs, movies, and TV shows pre-warned people who find blasphemy offensive (as they do with swearing content) so that a prson can make up their own mind as to whether to view or not.
It would be nice if this petition picks up a pace and people in the media and film industry take some notice. As it stands, although I enjoy watching a film with a good story, and a bit of TV, I am reluctant to watch much of anything these days.
I find the blatant disregard and disrespect of Jesus Christ highly offensive and feel that something should be done about this. Please take the time to sign this petition and share it with your friends in the hope that someone, somewhere, in a position of influence might sit up and take some notice. Thank you.
Please note: It has come to my attention that when people sign this petition they are asked to contribute money. This is nothing i have set up and i can only assume it is from the ipetitions company, not for this cause. Please feel free to ignore this.

I have been reading through the reasons you all signed and it is clear that many of you share this same frustration in your own homes. Seeing so many people feel the exact same way is truly overwhelming for me. It is your determination that keeps this going when I just started this out of a personal need for change.

I am truly overwhelmed by the momentum behind this because it was never my intention to lead anything this large. This movement belongs entirely to the many people who feel exactly the same weight on their hearts that I do. It serves as a powerful reminder that we are far from alone in our frustration.

The more Christ's name gets blasphemed on TV the more the public gets desensitized to doing blasphemy. The gentleman had a point in that it's mostly, almost always, Jesus Christ or God's name getting thrown around as a curse word. Either warn us ahead of time, cut it, or don't do it anymore Hollywood.
I am not a christian but neither was Jesus. However I agree that no religion's deity's name should be blasphemed on television radio or film. I should have the right to opt out of these things if they are not completely omitted.
I would appreciate a DVD Label warning if removing blasphemies will be continued to be used.
I feel physically assaulted when people blaspheme the wonderful name of Jesus Christ our Savior.
The media would not dare blaspheme Mohammad yet there is no respect in the media for the name of Christ/Jesus
Now Hollywood, come on, be honest! You wouldn't blaspheme the name of Muhammad or Buddha, would you? Why are the feelings of Muslims and Buddhists more important than the feelings of Christians? Does your politically correct non offensive liberal agenda not apply to Christians? Seriously, please stop! There's no need for it. You're just doing it to be deliberately offensive and to brainwash the masses with your Satanic Anti Christian Agenda. Not even Hitler's name is used as a swear word! Come on! If anyone's name deserves to be used like that, it's Hitler's name, but no, you pick on Jesus Christ instead.
