7Up to pull prison rape commercial, Prisonsucks.com, May 25, 2002.
A campaign led by Stop Prisoner Rape and endorsed by our sponsor the
Prison Policy Initiative has succeeded in getting 7Up to stop airing a
national television commercial that makes light of rape in prison.
"Nearly 100 organizations spoke out to say that prisoner rape is a
horrific human rights abuse that must be taken seriously," said Stop
Prisoner Rape Executive Director Lara Stemple, "and we're happy 7UP has
listened."
