NBC Offends Christians Again
It looks like NBC has decided to thumb their noses at Christians through an episode of "Will and Grace" where the cast makes fun of us. They've even hired the poptart, Britney Spears, to do it. NBC is probably mad at us Christians for the "Book of Daniel" fiasco. Well, what did they expect? Maybe we should have done what the RoP (islam) is doing about the cartoons about their dead prophet. Naw...I wouldn't want us to lower ourselves to the same level as the RoP. We're much better then that.
(CNSNews.com) - A conservative advocacy group accuses NBC of "hitting back" at the Christian community in an upcoming episode of "Will and Grace.
"The April 13 episode will mock the crucifixion of Christ, the American Family Association said.
AFA pointed to wire reports saying that Britney Spears will make a guest appearance on the April 13 "Will and Grace," playing a conservative Christian sidekick to Sean Hayes' homosexual character, Jack.
When Jack's fictional TV network, Out TV, is bought by a Christian TV network, Spears hosts a cooking segment called "Cruci-fixin's."
To further denigrate Christianity, NBC chose to air [the episode] the night before Good Friday," AFA Founder and Chairman Donald E. Wildmon complained.
"NBC does not treat Jews, Muslims or other religions with such disrespect. Yet the network demonstrates a deep of hostility toward followers of Christ.
"NBC recently cancelled a series called "The Book of Daniel," amid loud complaints from conservative Christians who saw the series as a slur on Christianity. (See related story)
The series was canceled only three episodes into its season; NBC blamed low ratings, but Wildmon said it went away because "NBC had to eat millions of dollars each time it aired.
"Now AFA is urging Americans to wage a similar protest against the upcoming "Will and Grace" episode."
Call your local NBC affiliate and ask them not to air the April 13 episode of "Will and Grace," AFA said in a message to supporters.
The group also wants concerned Christians to send a letter of complaint to NBC Chairman Bob Wright, and to spread the word about NBC's latest insult in church bulletins and newsletters.

When I recieved the email from tha AFA yesterday regarding the Will & Grace thing, my first thought was "What do you expect from a show that for years has tried to glorify the homosexual lifestyle? I recently heard the show referred to as "a pioneer in the quest for homosexual equality". Gimme a break! I am sooooo over this junk. Every time I turn around, there is some other discrimination issue regarding gay people, well, guess what? Gay people are not the only ones who are easily offended - I can tell you one thing, you make fun of God or his son, Christians WILL be offended and our rights are no less than those of the gays! I had a poor impression of Brtiney Spears and Will & Grace before, but now I really have no regard for them.
Hi Beth,
I missed this comment until today. Sorry!!
Since I posted this, NBC has decided, thanks again to the Christian outrage, not to run this episode.
God Bless and keep the faith!
