Bob and Larry (and God) too hot for NBC


From the NY Times: “NBC draws protests from conservatives”

NBC has drawn protests this week from religious conservatives over the content of two television shows, but for different reasons — in one instance for excluding references to God and in the other for possibly including religious imagery.

The disputes, over the network’s proposed broadcast of a Madonna concert that includes a crucifixion scene and over its cutting religious references from the animated children’s show “VeggieTales,” have some critics charging that NBC maintains a double standard toward Christianity.

How tired is Madonna’s shtick? If she really wants to stir controversy, she would perform in a burka and maybe touch a Koran with an ungloved hand.
