The Christian watchdog group One Million Moms has long voiced its concern over ABC's newest sitcom "The Real O'Neals" because it takes a swipe against Christianity, particularly the Catholic faith, every chance it gets.
When KFC (YUM Brands) recently placed advertisements on the show, One Million Moms came out with a statement urging concerned viewers to take action to compel the company to stop supporting the show.
On its website, the group describes the sitcom as "just your typical all-American, Catholic, divorcing, disgraced, law breaking, gay family," adding that the O'Neal family is "a perfect mess."
One Million Moms says the show "ridicules people of faith, and Christians across America are offended by it."
"Almost every scene is filled with sexual innuendos, implications, or mockery of faith. It is impossible to list them all," the group adds.
The show's protagonist is Kenny O'Neal (Noah Galvin), who is secretly gay. His mother Martha O'Neal (Eileen Plimpton) is a devout Catholic who turns a blind eye towards her son's sexuality, and even encourages him to have sex with his peers just to make sure he is straight.
Meanwhile, Kenny's father Pat is a Chicago Police Department officer who is contemplating a divorce. Unlike his wife, Pat is actually supportive of Kenny's homosexuality and even took him to a gay coffee shop.
During a moment of self-reflection, Pat even considers, "I was married for 18 years. You know, there's so many new things out now. I guess it's the sexting and the Snapchat. I mean I've never taken a picture of my junk. Probably want to do the weirder sex stuff with other women."
As for Kenny, his female classmates would often grill him about his sexual encounters with men. During one episode, they ask him, "When you're hooking up, what's second base? 'Cause for us, it's boobs. What's the gay version of boobs?"
