GCB stands for “Good Christian Bitches.”
This is a new television show on ABC, Sunday nights.
This show mocks America’s Christians.
Surprise, surprise….
This is just another straw on the camel’s back that makes it clear that we’re spiraling down as a nation, as a world, into the muck.
Reminds me of the primary message of this man’s blog, “Now the End Begins.” His blog makes it clear through many examples where we’re at, biblically speaking in America and this world. It is pretty sobering stuff, in my opinion.
Christians should and probably will take notice, but the unbelieving most likely won’t recognize or accept the signs; it’s all just more coincidence and life changes due to differences in religious demographics and more and more people moving away from religion, in their perspective. What they don’t recognize is that this is yet another promise within the bible that is now happening. People are losing their religion.
When Hollywood puts a television show on Sunday night during the family viewing hours that actually denigrates the religious beliefs of the majority in America, it’s time that we awaken from our trance, I think. Not only does this disgusting offering denigrate Christian religious beliefs, but it insults, demeans, and mocks the religious themselves. Since when is this all right on the local channels between 7pm – 10pm?
There’s pretty much nothing sacred anymore.
An ABC pilot called “Good Christian Bitches” has religious and women’s groups up in arms over what they describe as an extremely offensive and distasteful show title.
The dramedy, based on Kim Gatlin’s novel of the same name, will be brought to life by famed “Sex and the City” and “90210” executive producer Darren Star. The plot centers on the life of reformed “mean girl” Amanda, played by “Talladega Nights” actress Leslie Bibb, who returns to her hometown of Dallas to find herself fodder for malicious gossip from the women in the Christian community.
Still in the early stages, the pilot has not been guaranteed a spot on ABC’s lineup. And though the show’s title may change before it goes to broadcast, “Good Christian Bitches” is already causing uproar.
Christian publisher Tessie DeVore told FOX411’s Pop Tarts column that the show, which features the tagline “For Heaven’s sake, don’t let God get in the way of a good story!” could put Christians in an unfairly bad light.
“I find the title offensive. I don’t think those two words should be combined,” she said. “A show like this can damage perceptions [of Christians in this country].”
It also could be a slippery slope for future shows, said Melissa Henson, director of communications and public education for the Parents’ Television Council tells Tarts.
“In the past, we’ve raised concerns about changing language standards for television,” Henson said. “Once a particular profanity or obscenity has been embraced by a particular show, it quickly becomes mainstream.”
And Yana Walton from the Women’s Media Center said Christians aren’t the only ones who should be upset.
“It is not an appropriate term to use to describe any woman, regardless of their faith,” Walton said. “Entertainment media, especially music and films, have been normalizing misogynistic language for years.”
But despite the seemingly outrageous title, Dan Gainor, head of the Culture and Media Institute, is not surprised that the pilot has gone this far already.
“ABC is doubling down on the offensive by also approving ‘Don’t Trust the Bitch in Apartment 23,’ following up on the CBS show ‘$#*! My Dad Says.’ And this continued decline is unsurprising,” he said.
“The media keeps trying to redefine words and morality to mean what they say, not what they really do mean,” Gainor added. “One wonders which network will be the first to drop the F-bomb in a TV title and whether the FCC will even intervene.”
Even if the title holds up, some are looking forward to the show.
“ABC’s core viewership is Christian, so the goal of the show won’t be to attack Christianity. Just like the book, this is a show by Christians, for (mostly) Christians, to enjoy a little prime-time self-deprecation,” Los Angeles-based entertainment expert, Jenn Hoffman said.
A representative for ABC declined to comment on the story.
