Having trouble viewing this email? Click here Our Children...our Community... Deserves Better. Ban This Poison. Ban This Television Show.   Oxygen Television Network is prepared to broadcast a one hour special celebrating the dysfunction of rapper Shawty Lo...watched by his 11 children...by 10 different women...(some may have been underage) as they....argue, beg, fight for emotional, financial support and sexual reward.    What is the difference between this ministrel show and the others which clog the airwaves without proper balance of the beauty and positive aspects of our community??    The children.    The children are front and center. Pining and witnessing their parents' behavior. And it is their children who will hold all of us accountable by allowing them to be exploited internationally in this manner.    What You Can Do?    Sign this petition and forward to your friends. Contact has already been made with the network...and with your voice...this ugliness will not see international airwaves.    If our DEMANDS to cancel the airing of this POISON are not met...an international boycott will be launched against their ADVERTISERS.    ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!    Please do One or BOTH:    SIGN THIS PETITION AND EMAIL, TWEET AND POST EVERYWHERE!    Or Email:    Jason.Klarman@nbcuni.com cameron.blanchard@nbcuni.com Rebecca.Boswell@nbcuni.com STAY CONNECTED          Forward this email FlirtingTime.com | 253 West 72nd Street | New York | NY | 10023

Tax records show that labor costs at the National September 11 Memorial & Museum at the World Trade Center Foundation rose 58 percent in 2011 and the organization's expenses tripled to $35.6 million as revenues fell, The Wall Street Journal writes: http://on.wsj.com/V6lsiD   New York City officials say that 12 MTA-subsidized billboards next to highways in Queens and the Bronx violate zoning regulations, while the transportation authority is challenging the Buildings Department on the restrictions in court, the Times reports: http://nyti.ms/UuVOqx    A state Supreme Court justice dismissed a lawsuit brought by the New York Retired Public Employees Association challenging a state decision to impose health care cost increases on retired workers negotiated by public employee unions, the Times-Union reports: http://bit.ly/V6oEKW   The Journal News posted an interactive map of registered handgun owners in Westchester and Rockland counties using publicly available data, eliciting angry comments from some readers: http://lohud.us/Tqhu54   New York City has had only 414 murders so far this year and is on pace for a record low, though officials disagree on whether the NYPD's stop-and-frisk policy is behind the decline, the Daily News writes: http://nydn.us/Tqj86L   HEARD AROUND TOWN: * In his "What You Should Know" column yesterday, the email blast authored by state Sen. Rubén Díaz, Sr., the Bronx senator ticked off his top ten wishes for the New Year, a list that jabs at everyone from the Senate Independent Democratic Conference to Gov. Andrew Cuomo. But Díaz directed his most inflammatory statement at Sen. Malcolm Smith, who recently defected from the Democratic conference to join the IDC, writing that he wishes, "For Senator Malcolm Smith, to find another minority to join him in order for him not to be the only Uncle Tom in the house." When asked about his comments, Díaz said that he is tired of people using black and Hispanic pain for their own benefit, and suggested that Smith is being exploited by the IDC and Senate Republicans simply to have a minority face in their leadership coalition. "I know the game, I know how they play. [The Senate leadership] need[s] to show that they care [about minority issues] and for that they get one or two [minorities]," Díaz said. "They give a little piece of bone to Malcolm, and they say 'we have the minority we love'." Smith did not respond to a request for comment. *
