"The Book of Daniel": A Wash

Two more NBC-TV affiliates have dropped the new series "The Book of Daniel" in response to the protest of viewers who consider it offensive to Christians, reports World Net Daily.

Stations in Nashville, Tenn. and Amarillo, Texas, announced this week they would no longer carry the program, says the American Family Association, which launched a protest campaign last month. Earlier, stations in Terre Haute, Ind.; Tupelo and Meridian, Miss.; Little Rock, Ark.; and Beaumont, Texas, dropped the show. The NBC affiliate in Hattiesburg, Miss., also is considering not airing it.

Who in their right mind would want to watch a show that depicts Christians in such a loathsome manner? People don't want to watch this garbage. There is already too much evil going on in the world. Most people seek to find an escape through entertainment. They want to view programs that are wholesome, uplifting, optomistic, that challenge their intellect or make them laugh, that give them hope, and leave them feeling satisfied.

Advertisers have been dropping out like flies, leaving Burlington Coat Factory as the show's only national sponsor.

Good -- that's another store to add to my boycott list. Most of their clothing is of poor quality anyway.

"Burlington is a buzzard buyer. They absolutely don't care about the content as long as they get it at a nickel on the dollar," said AFA Chairman Donald E. Wildmon. "They would probably sponsor porn if the price is right.
NBC is losing about 2 million dollars in advertising revenue each time they air the program."

Wow! They obviously have lots of money to throw away.
