Florida Family Association Claims Another Coup as Kodak Stops 'DeGrassi' Ads on Teen Nick

The Florida Family Association (FFA) claimed another victory on Wednesday when David Caton announced that, after receiving e-mails from FFA members, Kodak pulled the plug on sponsoring DeGrassi: The Next Generation on Teen Nick. The FFA targeted DeGrassi due to, as Caton put it in an e-mail sent out on Oct. 27 to his supporters, the show targets teens with gay propaganda and other immoral behavior.

Teen Nick boasted that Kodak was the sponsor of their show 'DeGrassi: The Next Generation' and aired dozens of their advertisements just before Kodak received thousands of e-mails regarding the programs irresponsible content, wrote Caton on Wednesday. Kodak was the most frequent advertiser on DeGrassi just before Florida Family Associations Oct. 27 e-mail alert was released. Additionally, Teen Nick labeled Kodak as a sponsor of several episodes during that same time.

Kodak officials received thousands of e-mails, continued Caton. Kodak has not advertised during the past week. Clearly it appears that Kodak pulled their advertisements from this program after receiving thousands of e-mails from Florida Family Association supporters.

UPDATE:

Officials from Kodak are insisting that they stopped ads as part of a "planned pause" in their schedule and will run ads on DeGrassi again next week.

The FFA is taking aim at other companies besides Kodak that sponsor the show. Go here for more information.
