Opposition to JC on TV (Comedy Central, that is)
Opposition is being organized against a new animated show to feature Jesus Christ in a modern day setting.
The show is in the “idea” stage at Comedy Central, but some people are already doubtful about its merits. 
The Associated Press is reporting that Citizens Against Religious Bigotry is a newly formed coalition that doesn’t want to see the Jesus Christ cartoon show air — ever.
The AP reports that the coalition is accusing Comedy Central of a double standard in mocking Christian figures and beliefs while recently refusing to let the animated show “South Park” depict the Prophet Muhammad for fear of offending Muslims.
The coalition includes the Catholic League, Media Research Center, the Parents Television Council and talk show host Michael Medved.
For more about this brewing controversy in Saturday’s Oklahoman.
