TUESDAY NEWS DAY - THE "GOOD OMENS" PROTEST


Feel free to click through to the story and enjoy their stupidity.  But first, just savor the magnitude of that stupidity:

CHRISTIAN GROUP PROTESTS THE WRONG PREMIUM PLATFORM OVER “GOOD OMENS”

What gets me more than their protest against Netflix instead of Amazon Prime was their opposition to the Voice of God being supplied by Frances MacDormand.  I should think God would be honored to have a two-time Oscar-winning actress portray the Supreme Being.  But this group of Holier Than Thous sees it as a sin that God should be voiced by a woman. 

Has God ever spoken to them?  Personally I doubt it.  And if he did, it was only after they stopped taking their meds.  I also think it’s a sign of their lack of faith that they O’Bviously don’t believe that God is omnipotent.  If God can do anything, then assuming a feminine voice should be a simple party trick.  And you don't think God could pull that off?

Bunch of heathens….

One last point - these types of protests never work.  They're only going to entice people to watch the show now.  It was the same situation when efforts were made to ban "Lady Chatterly's Lover" and James Branch Cabell's "Jurgen: A Comedy of Justice"; the attempts only made them extremely popular.

When I was a kid, there was this Catholic newspaper called the Catholic Transcript.  And they had this regular column called "Condemned Movies".  You know kids in seventh grade in those days were going to try to see those flicks!

And I welcome those vain attempts to ban Mark Twain's masterpiece "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn".  I figure that's the best way to get a kid interested in reading it.

So protest all you want against "Good Omens".  And make sure you stage demonstrations outside your local Blockbuster (Tee-Hee) when it comes out on DVD. 

Everybody involved will thank you.


BCnU!
