Christianists Claim that They Killed GCB

The boyfriend and I rarely watch televisions on Sunday nights - that is until we became hooked on GCB.  Having lived in Alabama, Texas and Virginia, the characters on GCB proved only too true to life in terms of their hypocrisy, shallowness and mean spirited behavior -  all the while as they proclaimed themselves "godly Christians" and wore their religiosity on their sleeves.  Needless to say the Christianists and modern day Pharisees of the far right were none too happy with the show since it held up a mirror to their routine behavior.  Among those who had their panties in a HUGE wad were the so-called One Million Moms - yes, the same anti-gay bitches who have been harassing J C Penny for its ads with Ellen Degeneres.  They have put major pressure on ABC to drop the show and are rejoicing that ABC seems to have given in to the pressure.  Joe Jervis reports this:

You knew this was coming.
"GCB" got axed by ABC and won't be coming back for a second season. Praise the Lord! Jesus Christ will not be mocked! God is using OneMillionMoms.com to help remove this filth from television. As the hands and feet for the Lord, we are making a real difference. These accomplishments are the result of the Lord's blessing on the prayers, action alerts, email letters, and gifts from concerned and generous supporters.
Candidly, I would argue that the worse filth on television are the televangelist shows with their snake oil merchants and flim flam pleas for money , not to omit of course Pat Robertson others of his ilk.  Some want to fight back and change.org has a petition drive to convince ABC to rethink its decision.  Please consider signing the  "Save GCB" petition HERE.  Over 25,00 have signed so far.
