AFA is at it again!
These people are so annoying. LEARN WHAT A REMOTE CONTROL IS! GOOD GRIEF! I'm tired of these people taking away others rights to watch and say whatever they want on tv. Don't like it? READ A BOOK!

Snip: <LOS ANGELES, California (Reuters) -- A conservative advocacy group that urged a boycott of NBC's recently canceled drama about a pill-popping priest turned its wrath Thursday to an upcoming "Will & Grace" episode that it says will mock Christ's crucifixion.

But NBC executives insist the group's objections stem from faulty details in a press release mistakenly issued by the network earlier this week, and that neither a script nor story line for the episode in question has been written.

The latest religious flap at NBC flared after the network announced Tuesday that pop star Britney Spears will make an April 13 guest appearance on "Will & Grace," playing a Christian conservative talk-show sidekick to Jack, the gay character portrayed by series regular Sean Hayes. (Read story.)

According to NBC's initial synopsis of the episode, Jack's fictional TV network, Out TV, is taken over by a Christian broadcaster, leading Spears' character to do a cooking segment on his show called "Cruci-fixin's." >

3. I'm with you
Just ONCE I wish a network would tell them to go away and turn the channel! Watch TBN if they don't like it! Or that Inspirational network or whatever. There are other things to watch on tv! They're such dumbasses.

4. I like when they do this...
because it shows the rest of the country how stupid they are. I cannot think of an easier way to gain moderate rethugs.

5. And to show them
Edited on Sat Feb-11-06 05:05 PM by FreedomAngel82
how much "power" they have in the republican party. I'm sure traditional republicans and those who aren't religious are weary. :shrug:

7. Isn't this similar to Muslim outrage over editorial cartoons?
They just aren't being violent....yet. But it is the same type of bullying, tantrum behavior.

8. The proper response for this behavior:
"Fuck off." NBC will never say it, but these people desperately need to hear it.
