We are very concerned about Sci Fi Channel's new show "Scare Tactics". This program features depictions of unsuspecting people being terrorized and humiliated by professional pranksters. The purpose of this is to entertain audiences by showing actual scenes of terror. By any definition of the word this is "terrorism". We accuse SciFi channel, Studios USA and Vivendi Universal of trying to profit by such terror. We urge these entities to stop production of this show immediately and to destroy all of the existing episodes.

Our concern also extends to the posssibility of people actually being injured, physically or psychologically by participation in "Scare Tactics". We are also concerned about the possibility of dangerous copycat stunts and terrorism which could be created by viewers of this program.

We also ask for the immediate resignation or dismissal of Bonnie Hammer, president of SciFi Channel and all other SciFi executives involved in producing and promoting "Scare Tactics".
Furthermore we ask the FCC to investigate Sci Fi Channel for promoting terror against the interests of the American public.

Other actions we may choose to take are to boycott any commercial sponsors of the show and to request removal of Sci Fi Channel from cable and satellite TV providers.
