A 60-second video featuring various Christians reciting the Lord's Prayer was rejected by Digital Cinema Media (DCM). The short advertisement was produced by the Church of England and intended for airing in front of the new Star Wars movie as part of the Church's campaign to broadcast religious values to a broader audience.
DCM spokesman Christopher Kirk cited "a clash of values" as the reason for rejecting the ad. "Anyone who has been following trends in the film industry cannot fail to note that the message contained in this prayer is at odds with the major themes of the entertainment industry," Kirk maintained. "I mean, the 'lead us not into temptation' phrase in the prayer is a blanket condemnation of everything we stand for."
Kirk made a bid to reassure movie fans that "our profitability won't be hurt. The 60-seconds has been sold for a short tribute to 'Woman of the Year' Caitlyn Jenner."
In related European news, French Ambassador to the United States Gerard Araud ridiculed GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump's assertion that if some of the French victims of the recent ISIS attack had been armed lives could have been saved, saying that "Monsieur Trump has been unduly influenced by John Wayne movies. France is not the 'wild west.' We would rather be shot than engage in uncivilized gun-play. It is better to die with dignity than stoop to such barbaric behavior." An unimpressed Trump tweeted "I suppose we owe France an apology for the 'barbaric' American troops' 'gun-play' that liberated them from the Nazis."

Extraordinary channeling of the leftist mindset John. Be careful that your mind doesn’t stick like that!
