Come listen to a story ’bout a man named Ahmed
Poor Camel driver barely kept his family fed.
Then one day- he was shootin’ at some Jews
When up through the ground comes a bubblin’ ooze
Oil that is… Saudi soda.... Persian Perrier
Now the first thing ya know, Ahmed’s a millionaire
Kin folk said: Ahmed, Move away from there!
said: Californy is the place that you’d do fair
So the loaded up their camel and they moved to BelAir
swimmin pools…movie stars…...Jews....
The Bel Airabs!
IDK...would the Mob actually do this? IIRC, they are rather anticlerical....
They tried this before with Nothing Sacred - a show that lasted 16 whole episodes.
Unfortunately, this is not the first, nor will it be the last of this kind of junk. I have contacted ABC before regarding their “family” channel show The Fosters. Never received a reply. I suspect this show will go the way of others of it’s kind - eventual cancellation from lack of ratings.
Dan Savage? That pig? Not big on boycotts, but in the case I’ll make an exception. If someone posts a list of the sponsors I’ll call every single one of them whether I use their products or not.
And, I agree, let Danny Boy try this with a Muslim family, he probably wouldn’t last a week.
He’s just despicable, and truly I hate him.
You’d think the network who had to cancel “GCB” might have taken the lesson that just because they’d like to watch a show making fun of Christians doesn’t mean that many others do, instead of “Well, let’s try Catholics instead of Protestants.” I think this thing’s going to be extremely lucky to make it to 13 episodes.
Of course and it applies across the board. It is the exception, not the rule. Instead of making the family Catholic, why not have an Evangelical family and focus on this guy?

ABC is stereotyping all Catholics in this representation. This is being done with one purpose only, to denigrate the Catholic Church.
They must not know that the more a religious group is persecuted, abused, killed — the more that religious group grows.
Bless them.
It didn't take long for someone to turn this an anti-Protestant thread.
On the whole, they were loony paranoiacs.
Now, if you choose to see criticism of that fringe crowd as "anti-Protestant," that may be in the eye of the beholder . . .
Not a new phenomenon and certainly not new to those outside the Catholic church (Baptists, Evangelical Christians, Protestants, AG, etc..)
We are all human after all. I think if this is made a big deal of, the "show" will last longer than it otherwise might because at the end of the day, NO ONE likes their faith being mocked in a sitcom.
Prediction: shows like this are just going to add more fuel to the fire when the backlash against the extremist left-wingers/progressives ruining America get their come uppance.
A masterful response to the left. Why of course they'll deserve it. They knew (or should have..) the risks of offending one of the world's biggest religions. Of course the standard they apply to others should be applied to them!
Brilliant post.
