Opponents of Jesus Cartoon Take Protest to Advertisers- New JC cartoon from Comedy Centre.

A coalition opposed to a potential Comedy Central cartoon about Jesus Christ is taking the fight to where the money is – advertisers.

The newly formed Citizens Against Religious Bigotry on Thursday denounced the animated series in development called “JC” about God and his son, Jesus Christ. Leaders of CARB plan to send letters to companies that have advertised on Comedy Central in the past, urging them to resist from advertising on “JC.”

Finally the moviemakers are getting it, right? We want big action big effect big-time battles in our films that take us away from our everyday lives and transport us to…

Well, name your place. Hogwarts, Sherwood Forest, Pandora, and so many other places are just plain awesome to visit for a few hours and have our imaginations captured and entertained.

And now you can go back in time to 6th Century B.C. Persia in a movie called Aladdin…wait, I mean Prince of Persia. It’s about a street rat who gets adopted by a king and saves the day from an eeeeevil eyeliner wearing dude named Jafar…sorry, I mean Nizam.
