SPECIAL ALERT! NBC to mock the Crucifixion of Christ
Dear (received via e-mail),
NBC, fresh from giving us the anti-Christian The Book of Daniel, has decided to hit back at the Christian community by presenting an episode of Will and Grace which mocks the crucifixion of Christ.
On the April 13 edition of NBC's Will and Grace, Britney Spears will appear as a Christian conservative sidekick to Sean Hayes' homosexual character, Jack, who hosts his own talk show.
Jack's fictional network, Out TV, is bought by a Christian TV network, leading to Spears contributing a cooking segment called "Cruci-fixin's." To further denigrate Christianity, NBC chose to air it the night before Good Friday.

NBC does not treat Jews, Muslims or other religions with such disrespect. Yet the network demonstrates a deep of hostility toward followers of Christ.

Does anyone watch that show still? I think it is only on LOGO.
Who cares and who watches, it will do as well as the Book of Daniel. I urinate on them, they are like the Rats in congress who are beyond explanation.
It's much easier to make jokes about the crucifixion than it is to contemplate the implications of the crucifixion, let alone articulate those implications to another person.
Who cares. If you don't want to watch the show (which you have probably never watched in the first place), then turn the channel. We need to loosen up a bit otherwise we're no better than the freak'in towel heads who want to destroy the western work because some newspaper printed a characture of Mohommad.
That is lost on most today, but I dare is was not lost on those who chose the name for a show making light of homosexual promiscuity.
I thought Britney Spears had some sort of Christian faith. Did that go the way of her career too?
I think a lot of us are tired of "loosening up." It's time for them to give a little now.
The April 13th episode? That's during Holy Week this year...how considerate of them.
NBC, you know, the pea cock network
They're determine ed to ran this stuff down our throats at the most offensive time.
Let's issue a Fatwa against NBC, oops, wait, wrong religion.
:') I want even ask "Cindy, who?"
Cool, another reason not to watch a show I've never watched.
I will happily boycott this episode of "Will & Grace"!!
Footnote: I've happily boycotted every single solitary episode of this show.
Real nice that they decide to do this 3 days before Easter Sunday.
...but, but I thought Brittany was a good Christian girl?
Time for your great turn off the TV image......
Great thing about cable ... it is easy to block any nbc channel.
Last I heard, she was into Kabbalah.
But every time you guys get rattled and whine like a bunch of pansy liberals who were forced to hear the word 'Jesus', you merely give free publicity to who/whatever it is you're trying to get cancelled.
Next, their shows are seen as 'important political statements that test the boundaries of society under censorship' rather than people whoring themselves out for a laugh. As a result, you're martyring these idiots instead of decreasing demand for their drivel.
I've never watched it.
I can't remember when I watched anything on NBC, ABC or CBS.
otherwise we're no better than the freak'in towel heads who want to destroy the western work because some newspaper printed a characture of Mohommad.
Sorry. You're off base. We protest with our pocketbooks. They take to the streets with violence. The two do not compare. They aren't talking boycotts.
I think the Byrd guy would be better in that role but hey, suggest it to them.
Holy Thursday I will be in church, meditating on the Last Supper and the time in Gethesemane, not watching TV, but I agree, it's horribly tacky and so like the ninnies who just don't understand why we don't tune in...
Well, I was planning on making your exact comment. Thanks for saving me the trouble.
Don't watch the show, don't take it upon yourself to speak for everyone, and don't behave like an Islamofascist.
NBC is not an arm of any religion, if you are morally outraged, don't watch anything that you don't agree with.
That's what you can do.
I don't watch the show and don't presume to accuse me or anyone else offended by this crap to be of the Islamic ilk. You have no idea how insane your comparison is.
Why are we surprised when unbelievers act like.....well.....unbelievers?
I expect no less from them and so far they haven't disappointed me.
Neither was Kerry, Mapes or Rather. We were still morally outraged.
My Websters says: moral/ adj/ 1: of or relating to principles of right and wrong.
Nothing to do with religion.
Is that show still on TV?
NBC is a private company...don't like what they sell?
Don't buy it.
We did not crucify Rather and Mapes, and Kerry is still in the Senate.
Islamofascists want an apology for an offensive cartoon, people in here want an apology for an offensive TV show.
The comparison stands.
We did not crucify Rather and Mapes
Who said they were?
and Kerry is still in the Senate.
And he is NOT the Pres.
NBC is a private company...don't like what they sell?
Don't buy it.
Which is EXACTLY the point of this thread.
Sorry, but I have more important things to do than to write letters complaining about the substance of a TV show that I and apparently the vast majority of the population never watch.
There is a big difference between protesting the fictional stories on what is supposed to be a non-fictional news program and protesting the story line of a fictional situation comedy that is about to go off the air for good. By acting out, you are drawing attention to the very show that you want people not to watch.
Just wondering. Arent you guys supposed to be out evangelizing? Weren't you warned that you would be mocked and reviled? All I see are people in an internet chatroom
spending time and energy feigning some kind of righteous indignation. How bout a little energy spent turning the other cheek?
There is an even bigger difference between a peaceful petition campaign and threats of violence. Surely you can see that.
