Default Troubling advertisement on WVLG

I was troubled by an advertisement aired on the Villages radio station WVLG. It was from RV swap shop and they were taking Jesus's name in vane. I do not believe this should be allowed on OUR radio station
I called the radio station and they directed me to call the Daily Sun ( 352 753 1119). I did and they said they would look into it. I believe that if many like minded people called they would do something to delete the add.

Those RV Swap Shop's ads are anything but serious. I doubt anything malicious or demeaning was meant.

There is a show on the history channel about Ben Franklin. I believe it is in the first issue of 3. As most probably know among the other things Ben Franklin did, was to run a News paper. Reminder mid 1700s. He stated if only things that didn't offend anyone were printed-nothing would be printed.

True.

Sadly, I completely understand why a Christian would be offended by some comments using Jesus's name in vain. But, as we are often reminded here, "free speech" protects everyone, not just the ones I think should be protected.

I also agree with the OP, if they really don't want ads like that on the station, they - and everyone that agrees with them - should contact the station. If enough to, I expect the station will stop running those ads. And, I am cool with that too - our choice, we can express our displeasure with a company and not use it, but "they should be stopped" is not how this country is supposed to work.

Ah yes. I don't like it so it should be forced to go away.

There's an outlet to handle these kind of complaints, it's called the FCC.

There are 7 words that can not be broadcast radio or tv between 6am and 10pm. Jesus Lord Christ Jehovah aren’t on the list
