[Costello:] A promo for a new TV show is so steamy and so sexy, some people were outraged by it. So, a warning, if you find these kind of images offensive or if you have kids in the room, you might want to turn away. The big problem, the sultry ad aired during ABC's "Good Morning America" at 8:00 in the morning when kids could be watching television. OK, so, there you have it. One mom saw this air with her kids in the room at 8:00 in the morning and she was in a state of disbelief, so she snapped a photo of the nude scene off the TV and posted it on to her Facebook page and the steamy picture was removed from Facebook because it violated Facebook's policies. Now, it's the subject on her blog. This mom says she's fighting for change and has filed a complaint with the FCC. That mom is named Rebeca Seitz and she joins us now from Naples, Florida. She's also a Christian entertainment agent, publicist and novelist. Good morning, Rebeca.
[Rebeca Seitz, Christian Entertainment Agent & Publicist:] Good morning. Thank you so much for having me.
[Costello:] Thank you for being here. So, you're sitting there in the morning with your kids and this ad appears and what do you do?
[Seitz:] I panicked first because I quickly turned and I saw that my son's eyes had gone wide. And I quickly got him out of the room and I rewound it because I thought there is simply no way we saw what we just saw. So, I will rewind and see what it actually is and then I'll be able to explain he didn't see what he thinks he just saw and then I rewound and saw and I saw, no, no, it was exactly what we thought it was. So, I snapped the picture.
[Costello:] So, just to be clear, you don't object to this being on television, you object to this being on television at 8:00 in the morning.
[Seitz:] Exactly. I object to the idea that I see this over corn flakes and coffee with my kids nearby. That's what I object to.
[Costello:] So, you post this image on your Facebook, just to generate conversation about it and Facebook removes it?
[Seitz:] It did. I got a notice within 30 minutes of it that said it had been reported and, so, I put that it had been reported on my Facebook and within an hour they took it down and said it violated their community standards. I thought well, right, that's the point. So, a friend of mine is actually the one who said you should put this over on your blog because we all want to talk about it and we can't do so on Facebook.
[Costello:] I'm sure it generated a lot of comments. I'm going to ask you about this. Advertisers use sex to sell all the time on daytime television. Like this commercial from Hardy's. Watch this. Wow. Like I can't even remember what that ad is for. What makes that commercial different from the ABC promo?
[Seitz:] Well, the big thing for me was that commercials like what you just aired, those typically happen in primetime. I'm a parent who chooses to not allow my children to see those images. So, I don't plop my children down in front of the television during primetime. This was at 8:26 in the morning. I didn't have the choice to turn the television off because I had no idea that it was coming. When you aired the promo right then for the show, you said, hey, if you have children in the room and you don't want them to see this, you might want them to leave the room. I didn't have the option, it was just there.
[Costello:] OK, have you heard from ABC? Because I know you reached out.
[Seitz:] I did. I called the pr director for the "Betrayal" show and she said to me was very quickly, she said, I'm not responsible for it. I did see that you had done an interview about it and put it on your blog and so, I let other people know and I'm going on vacation.
[Costello:] We also reached out to ABC and haven't heard back so there you have it. Rebeca Seitz, thank you for being with us this morning, we appreciate it.
[Seitz:] Thank you.
[Costello:] Still ahead in
