more rumination on 2006 and all its newness and root canals are forthcoming, but for now, this article from salon ahs been the bright spot of my day.

Posted by bananie at January 9, 2006 6:47 PM | TrackBackThat was a decent article. I haven't seen the show yet but I plan on watching it this Friday to make up my own mind. I have a feeling that although NBC's intent was to make money and not bash Christianity, the writers of the show may have an ulterior motive. Like I said, I haven't watched it and even if I find it blatantly poking fun at Christians I agree with the author of the Salon article --just turn it off. I have to note that NBC had another show, "Committed", that aired an episode that pissed me off (in short it made fun of the Eucharist) and so Gina and I never watched it again. Surprise, it didn't make it past that season. The power of ratings.
Posted by: RichardZ.com at January 9, 2006 7:33 PMThey pulled this show in NASHVILLE today. A city I moved to because I thought it would be similar to Boulder as far as diversity and progressive thinking. I feel like I am living in Nazi Germany. I have never experienced being in a place where censorship affects my interests. I am outraged, to say the least. There are some great posts at Tennessean.com protesting this we're-not-really-a-democracy move. My email last week to the TV station in support of the show must have been one of about five because they are taking it OFF THE AIR. I know there are many injustices to be upset about. I'm choosing this one today.
Where the hell AM I?
