GCB television show

[jestes]

So has anyone watched the GCB show on ABC? I've read about it, and seen a few previews, so I don't need to watch it to know how I'd feel about it... My main question is which companies advertise on that show? Since ABC hasn't responded to calls to drop it, I figure we as Christians need to go one step further: We need to contact those companies that air commercials on the show and tell them we won't support their products until they cancel advertising on GCB. Thoughts?

If anyone is unfamiliar with the show, here's a few links that should get you fired up:

I'm a big fan of Desperate Housewives (Lord, did I just admit that on an open forum ) but to base a whole show that pretty much denigrates Christian women is just a bit much for me.

The show is hilarious! So far it is light-hearted comedy on what the typical Christian does at home and at church. It is a bit extreme to some extent, but then again the show is trying to squish all the stereotypes into a few characters so there is likely to be a bit of over-the-top situations. I find it eye-opening and cringe not so much at what they do and say, but at how right they are at pointing at our hypocrital actions.

If you don't like it, simply don't watch it. Bringing it up because you don't like it or to draw attention to advertisers or boycott these advertisers simply tends to have the opposite effect. See The Streisand Effect.
