One Million Moms mount campaign against Aaron MacGruder’s Black Jesus
Skip to comments1MM will defend our Savior because He is Holy! Adult Swim is obviously not a family network, and this program is set to air later in the evening when children should be asleep, but that is no excuse. Adult Swim has crossed the line by belittling the Christian religion with foul jokes.
We need to send a loud and clear message to Adult Swim, its owner Turner Broadcasting System, Inc. (a Time Warner Company), and all potential advertisers of “Black Jesus” that this kind of programming is insulting and completely unacceptable. Adult Swim is not ridiculing any other religion currently and wouldn’t dream of mocking Mohammed or Muslims.
Other than being created by The Boondocks creator Aaron MacGruder I know very little about the Black Jesus show, but here’s the money quote from a good background story to this controversy from The Salt Lake Tribune:
One Million Moms and the American Family Association, which have previously targeted Honey Maid graham crackers,the Disney Channel show “Good Luck Charlie” and J.C. Penney for gay-friendly messages…
Here’s the trailer for the show:
