Good News and Bad News on ABC’s Fall Line Up
Starting with the good news, after tens of thousands of OMM members signed a petition a couple of months ago encouraging ABC to drop all plans of airing the program “Good Christian B-tches” this fall, the network has announced they will change the name to “Good Christian Belles.” This means profanity will not used or insinuated in the title and be listed in television guides, listings and schedules. Your voice was heard! The bad news is ABC is going forward with airing this Christian bashing program. The graphic they have chosen to illustrate the title of the new series is a close-up of a woman’s chest squeezed into a low-cut top. This image includes her wearing a cross necklace that falls right to her cleavage, which is exactly where the camera is focused on. This show is described as a wicked new drama that digs up sins from the characters’ past and leads to scandal. They make sure no one is a saint, and the revenge and scheming involving church members is like no one has seen before on network television. In the trailer provided by ABC, a man attempts to grope and touch a woman inappropriately in the church sanctuary and then continues with obsessive staring, and many others gossip, all portraying Christians in a negative light. The preview includes the use of foul language as well. Networks like ABC continue to mock Christianity and we will not stand for it. Some in the entertainment business have gone too far, for too long. Christians should no longer sit idly by and allow it to continue without speaking up in protest. TAKE ACTION Please send an email letter strongly encouraging ABC and parent company Disney to drop all plans to air the anti-Christian program “Good Christian Belles.” Tell them you are prepared to join thousands of other voices in urging advertisers to place it on their “do not advertise” list and consider pulling all ads from the ABC network in protest of this Anti-Christian bigotry.
