The Catholic League’s Campaign Against Jon Stewart Has Officially Begun
by Meenal Vamburkar | 4:38 pm, April 19th, 2012

On Wednesday, the Catholic League asked Jon Stewart to apologize for his “vagina manger” segment about the “War on Women.” If not, they promised, they’d mobilize religious groups to boycott. Well, Stewart didn’t apologize last night — and the Catholic League is holding up their end of the bargain.

Today we will contact Kraft, one of whose products, MiO Energy, was one of the five sponsors that advertised on both the April 17 and April 18 episodes. Moreover, we will contact those on our “Allied Organizations” list (over two days) to join this campaign. They will be asked to contact Steve Albani, Senior VP of Comedy Central Communications, and Kraft.

But that’s not all. The statement also promises they’ll “contact every major Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Mormon and Muslim leader and organization in the nation” and also get in touch with Viacom (which owns Comedy Central). They will take out ads in newspapers.
