So, This is What is Wrong With Nashville
People can't figure out how to use the remote control!!!
NBC Nashville Station Latest To Dump Daniel
NBC's Nashville affiliate has closed The Book of Daniel after the show, whose main character is a pill-popping Episcopal priest with a gay son and a pot-dealing daughter, drew thousands of complaints.
WSMV-TV General Manager Elden Hale Jr. said he decided to pull the show starring Aidan Quinn after NBC rejected the station's request to air it overnight instead of during "family viewing time."
Despite its third-place finish nationally, the show won its time slot last Friday in the Nashville TV market.
Hale said viewers objected to the language, the sexual content and the portrayal of Jesus, who appears to Quinn's character for regular chats.
WSMV's general voice mailbox shut down within 20 hours of the airing of the two-hour premiere last Friday because 137 complaint messages jammed the machine, WSMV officials said. There also were complaints via e-mail and regular mail, including letters bearing church letterheads.
I knew these little "c" christians were illiterate and such, but I didn't think it was SOOO bad they couldn't utilize a remote control. Then again, they have to be directed with church pamphlets on what to think and how to vote. They can't think for themselves. What made me think they could manage a remote??? JEEZ!

That is hilarious, Gig! I LOVE IT!!! I needed a good laugh.
Ariadne-
Thanks for the post! LOVE your blog, BTW. Very nice.
Actually, for these Dominionists, censorship does make them happy. It's about total domination; hence, the name. It's their right to free speech, not anyone else's. If we bite back, we're hateful and intolerant.
But...like Will Smith's character said to the alien in Men in Black, "Don't start nothin' and there won't be nothin'."
Sorry, I just won't hold my tongue when I'm attacked because I think someone may accuse me of what they've already been doing for years.
Private citizens can never be censors. We don't have the power.
REALLY? Not according to Don Wildmon of the AFA when he tried to claim they were the cause of NBC cancelling the show:
“This shows the average American that he doesn’t have to simply sit back and take the trash being offered on TV, but he can get involved and fight back with his pocketbook,” said AFA Chair Donald E. Wildmon in a statement Tuesday.
Irony, The Book of Daniel will be replaced with reruns of Law & Order. Yes, stories of murder, rape, incest, and adultery are much more family-friendly and wholesome.
