Philadelphia Cream Cheese Pulls Their Advertising From ABC Show Good Christian B****** After Just One Week By ALFONSO SERRANO F. 8th March 2012

Kraft Foods has decided to pull advertising for its popular Philadelphia Cream Cheese from the controversial ABC television show GCB, which critics say attacks Christianity.

The Chicago-based cream cheese titan says it made the decision after customer complaints began to pile up. 'Philadelphia has decided to pull its advertising from GCB ... We have received a few complaints from consumers and their opinions about our advertising are important to us,' a Kraft Foods representative told TMZ. Scroll down for video

Kraft Philadelphia has pulled advertising from the TV show GCB and decided to direct ads to other programs

Based on a book titled Good Christian Bitches, the ABC show has come under attack from Christian groups and women's rights advocates alike for its misogynistic show title, for portraying Christians in an unfairly bad light, and for other offensive stereotypes.

New York Ciy Councilman Perter Vallone recently joined the chorus of complaints, calling for viewers to boycott of the show and asking ABC to yank it off the air.

ABC reportedly considered changing the show's name to Good Christian Belles before settling on the acronym, but that did nothing to appease Mr Vallone.

'They’re not fooling anyone with that,” Vallone said. “You can’t change something that’s already in your head...we’re not stupid,' Vallone told the New York Daily News.

And women-hating gays at that. Can’t even make these “Belles” come over as half charming. Lucille Ball must be turning over in her grave, come on ladies you can do better than that!

Unless the American appetite for crap is even greater than I thought, GCB will stand for Gotta Cancel, Baby.

More than half voted for Big Ears. Nuff said.

BTW, the rides at Disney World frequently stall, and many of the attendants behind the food counters refuse to communicate and project an attitude of hostility. Yeah, I’m pissed at Disney for defaming my Faith, but this IS the truth regarding the facilities in Florida. Thanks for reminding, you jackwagons.

Sorry to see Annie Potts associated with this dreck. I don’t know anything about her views or politics, but I always liked her as an actress.

And, as a kid, I had a serious crush on her character in Ghostbusters (Janine Melnitz, the receptionist).

It’s not about making money. It’s about destroying traditional values.

If Disney wants a hit, they should ask Tyler Perry for advice.
