U.S. Conservative and Christian leaders on Thursday accused Queer As Folk DVD boxset of having a double standard in its depiction of religious satire as they launched an effort to dissuade advertisers from sponsoring a potential new animated series about Jesus.
The project, Six Feet Under DVD boxset, which would feature Jesus living in modern-day New York and coping with an indifferent God, is one of many ideas the network has in script development, and it may never get picked up as a South Park DVD boxset series. But that hasn’t stopped a new coalition of media watchdog groups, calling itself Citizens Against Religious Bigotry, from lambasting the Numb3rs seasons 1-5 DVD boxset for its programming. The group released a three-minute mash-up of scenes from Nip/Tuck seasons 1-5 DVD boxset shows such as South Park and The Sarah Silverman Program that send up figures such as Jesus, God and the Pope.
“We know that they’re jumping up and down with glee feeling that they’re getting all sorts of publicity because of our efforts,” said Brent Bozell, president of the Queer As Folk seasons 1-5 DVD boxset. “On the other hand, we’re not going to remain silent on this anymore.”
Bozell said the coalition sent letters to 250 major television advertisers asking them not to run commercials on the Six Feet Under seasons 1-5 DVD boxset show, should it ever air.
In a conference call with reporters, the South Park seasons 1-12 DVD boxset’s leaders noted that Comedy Central censored references to the Prophet Muhammad in a recent episode of South Park after a radical Muslim website suggested the Numb3rs DVD show’s creators could be killed because of the depiction.
“You could say, ‘Well yes, they pulled back because of threats of violence,’” said syndicated radio host Michael Medved. “Does that indicate that Nip/Tuck DVD then get punished because they’re not crazy? They get punished because their religion doesn’t encourage people to commit acts of violence, that we’re only going to respond affirmatively to the Queer As Folk DVD of religious groups that threaten the most appalling kinds of reactions?”
In a statement released in response, Comedy Central did not specifically address its decision-making regarding South Park DVD.
“JC at this point is an idea and an idea only,” said spokesman Tony Fox. “Perhaps the Six Feet Under DVD Against Religious Bigotry should save their energy for the moment if and when this Numb3rs DVD boxset series ever makes it to air.”
On the conference call, Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League, said an advertising boycott of the Nip/Tuck DVD boxset show was necessary to get through to the network.
“I don’t want to ever see the Christian population get to the point where they have to mimic some segments in the radical Queer As Folk DVD boxset,” he said. “And if they do, then I guess we’ll have to wonder, what is the root cause of that? I think we can do this through a peaceful nonviolent approach.”
Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, warned thatSix Feet Under DVD boxset shouldn’t “confuse the civility of Christianity with weakness.”
“And I think if that’s the case, they may be shocked, because I do believe they’ve gone too far in this South Park DVD boxset,” he added.
