Artists for Stopping Fox TV Making Fun of Alzheimer's

On the Fox Television Network there is a sitcom called Raising Hope. In
the show, there is a grandmother with Alzheimer's named Maw Maw. The show
constantly jokes about and shows her Alzheimer's as if it is a funny and
cute thing.

It is not funny but insensitive and cruel. Alzheimer's is the 6th leading
cause of death in the United States. It is a 100% fatal brain disease. To
make fun of someone with Alzheimer's is an insult to the 5.4 million
Americans living with the death sentence from the disease.

No show would ever make fun of a woman with breast cancer so why does the
Fox TV think it is it okay to show Maw Maw with Alzheimer's as funny.

We need to tell Fox it is not okay.  Click on the link below to sign the
