Super Bowl and Bridgestone Endorse Child Abuse

Well, it's official sports fans,the NFL endorses illegal drug usage/dealing, dog torture/killing, illegal firearm carrying and now Child Pornography. They continue to place their bottom line (cash) above the safety of others.

I'm writing about the Super Bowl half-time performance of The Who featuring Pete Townshend who was arrested in 2003 for,

"possessing indecent images of children, suspicion of making indecent images of children and suspicion of incitement to distribute indecent images of children."

Sure, the charges were dropped, but,
1. They did find child pornography on his computer.
2. He did admit to having and downloading child pornography on his computer.
3. He was required to register as a "sex offender."

I guess in England, physical evidence and a confession aren't enough to convict.

So, I visited the web site of Bridgestone and sent them the following email:

"Dear Bridgestone,

Your sponsorship of the Who's Super-Bowl half time show can only be judged as your support of Child Pornography and those that continue that morally despicable practice. Of course I'm referring to Pete Townshend and his 2003 arrest on charges of "possessing indecent images of children, suspicion of making indecent images of children and suspicion of incitement to distribute indecent images of children."
It has been proven time after time that these sick, morally repugnant individuals can not be rehabilitated.

Because your company places monetary values over child safety, I will not purchase a set of your tires for my vehicle this month. Because of your company's compliantcy in the support of a child abuser, yes child pornography is a form of child abuse, it can be inferred that you would place monetary value above the safety of my family.
I will use FaceBook, MySpace, Twitter, and my personal blog to inform and deter the purchasing of your products."

They most likely won't, but if they do respond to my email I'll post their response in this blog.
