It states: “The National Anthem must be played prior to every NFL game, and all players must be on the sideline for the National Anthem. “During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking. The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition. It should be pointed out to players and coaches that we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the flag and our country. Failure to be on the field by the start of the National Anthem may result in discipline, such as fines, suspensions, and/or the forfeiture of draft choice(s) for violations of the above, including first offenses.”

The other proteins and formaldehyde serve to activate the immune system and open up the blood-brain barrier. This is NOT a good thing."

I remember when this show was first announced, and the uproar over the show name. I thought it went away over that, but apparently not. They just changed the show name.

While I can see where the writers are pointing out the hypocracy that does in fact exist within the churchianity community, this is over the top opportunism by calling it satire or something thespian-sounding. ABC, and their buddies over at Disney, have been doing this type stuff mocking Christianity for years, though no where near as blatant as this.

ABC owes Christian women an apology for 'GCB'

By Dr. Ted Baehr

Published March 08, 2012
| FoxNews.com


There’s been a lot of talk about apologies in the news of late. What can and cannot be said of women in today’s society.

Well, let me enter in a new request – that ABC television network apologize to every Christian woman in the country.

On Sunday, a holy day to those of faith, ABC unveiled its new drama “GCB” which stands for “Good Christian B.i.t.c.h.”

ABC has taken blasphemy to new levels of depravity.

Based on the 2008 book “Good Christian Bi----s” by Kim Gatlin, "GCB" is about a woman named Amanda Vaughn, played by Leslie Bibb, who returns home to Dallas with her two children after facing marital and financial troubles. "GCB’s" trailers, ads, and name suggest this series will not be family friendly or even respectful towards Christians.

According to information about the program received by Movieguide, Amanda is a former “mean girl” who has put the past behind her, while her former classmates and victims have not. They are the new mean girls who are as likely to gossip viciously about their returned rival as they are to offer up a humiliating prayer about her in church.

As soon as their leader Carlene Co*kburn (yes, they went there!), played by Kristin Chenoweth, sees her arrive she calls her friends, smugly gossiping about how Amanda’s former husband died in a car crash while having an affair with her best friend.

Chenoweth’s character then halts the talk saying, “Ladies, it is not appropriate to speak of such things on the phone.” After a pause she continues, “I’ll see ya in church.”

Another clip shows Carlene and her friends confronting Amanda about the moral code of their community.

The following scene shows Carlene in an office getting an invitation from a man to “do it.” Turning religious pictures face down, she crawls over the desk -- and the object of her affection -- and gives him a heavy kiss.

Meanwhile, Amanda’s gun-collecting, shallow mother, played by Annie Potts says, “I feel certain that the good Lord would like me to have a new fur coat.”

Based on the trailers, Amanda Vaughn appears to be the only sane member of this community, and she doesn’t appear to be a practicing Christian.

When her mother drags her and her children to church, Amanda tells her mother that she “didn’t raise the kids with any particular religion.” While we all know that there are hypocrites in every institution and every religion, GCB uses Southern Christian women as the sole, stereotypical examples of self-indulgence, shallowness and hypocrisy.

Other scenes show young girls being encouraged to wear revealing tops.

When one mother expresses concern that her daughter's old cheerleader uniform is too tight, Chenoweth’s character tells her not to worry “cleavage helps your cross hang straight.” Later at the game, the football team cheers when the girl’s vest pops open.

Clearly, these are not messages Christian parents would want to send their daughters.

The fact that "GCB" ridicules God, morality, and Christians, who are little more than stereotypes, is typical of the Hollywood, where calling Christian women names is still in fashion. However, if this were a television show about any other group -- Muslim women, Jewish women or even radical feminists, the demands for apologies would be ringing from the halls of the media establishment from New York to Hollywood.

Apparently, it is calling only certain women names that is a problem in today’s culture. Christians are easy fodder for derision.

We urge all Americans to call or write ABC executives about this series Robert Iger, CEO of the Walt Disney Company, Anne Sweeney, President of Disney-ABC Television Group Paul Lee, President of ABC Entertainment and demand Christian women be treated with respect and that the offensive "CGB" be taken off the air immediately.
