Video And Pics After The Jump
Aaron McGrunder, the creator of the popular animated television show The Boondocks, is back with a program that is already catching flack before it even airs.
Black Jesus is a new comedy set to air on Adult Swim. Gerald 'Slink' Johnson stars as the son of God. He lives in Compton, drinks alcohol and curses like a sailor.
In one scene from the the trailer Jesus asks his reluctant followers, "Do y'all have any f*cking faith bruh?"
In another scene he tells a man, "You get money f*cking with me."
An organization called One Million Moms is blasting the show as "blasphemous." They're asking people not to watch it and encouraging their members to email Turner Broadcasting System, Inc to urge them to pull the show before it airs.
Adult Swim plans to blaspheme Jesus on a weekly basis. This mockery will be similar to "South Park" and "Family Guy," but much worse since the entire program will be based on lies about Christianity.
1MM 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.
If we speak with one voice now, we can keep this program from ever seeing the light of day. Christians must take a stand and not be silent. Networks like Adult Swim continue to mock Christianity, and we will not stand for it. Christians should no longer sit idly by and allow this blasphemy to continue without speaking up in protest. "Black Jesus" is anoher attempt to distort the truth about Christianity. There is power in numbers! Forward this to everyone you know in a fight to keep this show off the air.
The show also stars Charlie Murphy and John Witherspoon. Murphy plays Vic in the series. He's not buying what Black Jesus is selling.
"He ain't Jesus Christ," he tells Witherspoon's character, Lloyd. "He's just some crazy dude who thinks he's Jesus.
Plot:
A TV series finds Jesus living in present day Compton, CA on a daily mission to spread love and kindness throughout the neighborhood with the help of his small but loyal group of downtrodden followers.
