The Right Wave Their Arms And Puff Their Chests Up To Make Them Look As Big As Possible

Channel Ten's Californication has ignited further outrage, with religious groups calling for a boycott of the series after its second episode went to air last night. And we care about what they think, why?

The Australian Christian Lobby is calling for advertisers to be "held accountable" for their support of the American show, which Ten promotes as a "fiery, raw and sexy new comedy series." I'm shocked!

The shows second episode featured two characters indulging in a drug-fuelled sex romp. The scene climaxed when one of the characters vomited. I wish I'd watched it.

Managing director of the Australian Christian Lobby Jim Wallace today slammed the show as morally bereft, criticising a sex scene involving a teenage girl.
"As far as I'm concerned that sets a new level of bastardy," Mr Wallace said. This is from a group who are prepared to deny the very existence of certain members of society, if it upholds their views.

Mr Wallace said television networks were responsible for creating a "downward spiral" in the community. Prove it?

"They tout (Californication) as the filthiest show on television in order to improve ratings," he said.
"Once it is no longer the filthiest program, they'll move onto something else." Which means what, exactly?
Mr Walled called on the government to play a greater role in the selection of content for the mainstream media. Now there is a truly terrifying thought!

"I want to see (television executives) in Australia no longer setting the guidelines by which free-to-air is determined," he said. You want the Christian Lobby to set the guidelines?

"We need to have some government intervention of regulations so that it is not self-regulated." Because as we all know that the Howard Government is the Christian Lobby by any other name. The shows debut last 
Monday had religious groups fuming, claiming some scenes attacked the Christian faith. Don't watch. You attack other faiths, readily.

The opening sequence of the first episode depicted Duchovny's character, Hank Moody, praying to Jesus in front of a giant crucifix while a nun performed oral sex on him.
My Catholic nun auntie Pat has had a thirty year relationship with Catholic Priest, Father Brown. What is the difference?
