TV Networks Reject Ads for Anti-Abortion Movie

If you haven’t seen a commercial for Unplanned, an anti-abortion movie critical of Planned Parenthood, it isn’t for lack of trying on the part of marketers, whose efforts have been consistently rebuffed by TV networks.

Pure Flix, the distributor behind the box office hit God’s Not Dead and other movies aimed a Christians, opens the movie in 1,000 theaters today, but outside of the Fox News Channel, every other mainstream television outlet has declined to air the ad.

IMDB even listed it as Drama/Propaganda…Really?

I’ve seen it, it’s amazing.  See it.

Mike Lindell, the founder of My Pillow who invested $1 million in Unplanned, is also promoting the movie, which tells the true story of former Planned Parenthood executive Abby Johnson, who quit the organization to become a prominent pro-life advocate. Unplanned also got some publicity at its Hollywood premiere when singer Joy Villa attended in a dress emblazoned with the title of the film and the phrase, “F*CK Planned Parenthood.”

Similar to the networks taking a pass on selling ads, Unplanned previously had no luck licensing mainstream music for the movie, as a half-dozen major music labels said no to the filmmakers, including Disney, Universal Music, Sony/ATV and Round Hill Music.

OK, where do I buy a My Pillow?

China Using OPM Records for Spying

23 million records stolen in OPM hack exploited for intelligence gathering

The OPM hack was considered one of the most damaging breaches of personnel security for the U.S. government ever. The operation by China took place in 2014 and was discovered in June 2015. China’s role was kept secret during the Barack Obama administration.

Obama administration, that’s the ‘Scandal Free’ administration remember?

Weighted Average Ratings

IMDb publishes weighted vote averages rather than raw data averages. Various filters are applied to the raw data in order to eliminate and reduce attempts at vote stuffing by people more interested in changing the current rating of a movie than giving their true opinion of it.

The exact methods we use will not be disclosed. This should ensure that the policy remains effective. The result is a more accurate vote average.

To me the question is, “Who is more likely to be indulging in vote stuffing to effect the ratings of a Pro-Life/Anti-abortion movie?”.

First question, who is more likely to be interested in buying a ticket to see this movie?  Obviously someone from the pro-life side.  They would not have a bias against the ethical viewpoint of the story.  So they would be looking at the ratings to determine if it is a well done piece of work with good ‘word of mouth’.   There are no big name actors or directors attached to it, so they would want to know if it’s worth the $10-$15 price of admission.

That’s what we thought the “User Ratings” element of IMDB was for.  But apparently not.  I’m willing to go out on a fairly solid limb here and say flat out that most of the 820 One Star votes are from ideological fanatics opposed to the Pro-Life movement and HAVE NEVER SEEN THE MOVIE!     Change my mind.

The first words out of the mouth of every defender of Planned Parenthood both in the movie and in the real world are “A womens right to chose”, their civil rights or womens reproductive ‘health’.    What I think scares the people behind Planned Parenthood is that this movie makes it very, very clear that the real goal of PP is abortion.  Because abortion is their business plan, abortion is where the money is.   As the chief PP protagonist of Abby Johnson spits at her in an incandescent exchange, “Abortion is our fries and soda”. 

I gave it a Ten Star rating, go see it.

Cats can recognize the sound of their names, study says

Hey, Kitty! Yes, you. A new study suggests household cats can respond to the sound of their own names.

No surprise to you or most cat owners, right? But Japanese scientists said Thursday that they’ve provided the first experimental evidence that cats can distinguish between words that we people say.
