Actor Jack Black Prays to Satan on MTV

When MTV first appeared, back in 1981, like many other American young adults, I watched it with interest because it showcased videos of many of the bands that were popular then: The Police, Duran Duran, Squeeze, Genesis, The Go-Gos, Hall & Oats, Blondie, etc. But after the initial novelty of 24-7 music videos wore off and it became apparent that MTV was lurching steadily toward a darker, more erotic, and increasingly decadent format, I tuned out for good.

The rapid transmogrification of MTV from a purveyor of meaningless, if at times mildly entertaining, videos of pop rock bands, to full-on, in-your-face glorification of vice and sexual deviancy must be reckoned, I believe, as one of the integral reasons for the equally rapid unraveling of the moral fabric of Western society. The dramatic rise in on-campus student violence, promiscuity, sex crimes, and the growing modern obsession with death and the devil (to name just a few examples) can be, I believe, directly attributable in some measure to the nearly 30-year steady diet of moral corruption that MTV has been feeding its viewers.

The truth of the maxim "garbage in, garbage out" has nowhere been more spectacularly verified than it has been with MTV.

That's why for many years now, I have been warning parents everywhere — in my parish seminars, in radio interviews, and most recently on my "Open Line" radio program — to not allow MTV in their homes, to not let their children watch it. Of course, I am far from alone in this, and mine is just one of many voices that have been "crying in the wilderness" about the dangers of MTV's nefarious content.

And now here's another voice — that of the comedy actor Jack Black — that is reminding all of us why MTV is such an aggressively pernicious danger to anyone who watches it. Read the news report below, written by James L. Lambert for The American Family News Network and then watch the accompanying video. It says it all.

And for those who may think I'm being alarmist and extreme in my warning about MTV (believe me, there are Catholics and Protestants out there who have told me exactly that), I can only say that if this video is not enough to make you say, "Enough!" to MTV, and to remove it forthwith from your home and forbid your children from watching it, then I don't know what else I could possibly say to you to get your attention.

During last month's MTV music video awards ceremony, actor Jack Black urged the audience join hands and pray to "dear dark lord Satan." In his prayer, the actor prayed that the musicians and nominees would have "continued success in the music industry." The awards program was [broadcast] on the MTV network (a subsidiary of the Viacom Corporation) throughout the country through cable and satellite television.T

The Radio City Hall audience readily acquiesced to Black's invitation to pray to the devil. In a video posted on YouTube, Black encouraged the large audience to join in by saying, "let me see those horns." Black, dressed in a "muscle suit" continued by asking the awards ceremony audience to join hands during "the prayer." He then held hands with actress Leighton Meester while he prayed aloud.

Black's prayer went basically unnoticed among most conservative and Christian media circles -- perhaps because they feel the comedian was simply joking as he displayed his contempt for Christianity with the prayer invocation. In fact, this would be in keeping with Black's previous behavior.

In 2008 he participated in a video that mocked supporters of California's marriage initiative, Proposition 8. In commenting on that video, the Culture and Media Institute (CMI) said Black "appears as Jesus rebuking the Proposition 8 supporters while munching on a shrimp cocktail and saying that the Bible condemns eating shellfish too. Then he [Black] reels off some scripture references without context to suggest that the Bible is self-contradictory and unreliable." In their press release (December 4, 2008), CMI described Black as "an anti-Christian bigot."

Others claim last month's public "prayer" to Satan was just a publicity stunt to promote the new heavy metal video game, "Brutal Legend."

But regardless how one looks at Black's actions, it sets a dangerous precedent. Author and King's College professor Paul McGuire labels Black's prayer to Satan as "just the tip of the iceberg of what is happening in our nation and in the entertainment industry." The conservative commentator contends that "although it is hidden, Satanism is one of the fastest growing religions in America." He adds: "We can expect to see Satanists demanding and getting the same rights as any other religion." . . .

Radio talk-show host Jesse Lee Peterson . . . says it is "disturbing that MTV continues to promote the most degenerate and base programs on its network....[They] intentionally air programming designed to seduce and corrupt the minds and hearts of America's youth" (like Sex...with Mom and Dad, among others). . . .

I don;t understand why people go to Jack Black movies. They are just as dreadful as Pauly Shore and Carrot Top movies. And even worse, THEY ARE NOT FUNNY AT ALL. In fact, I understand before each showing of a Jack Black movie, they post a disclaimer that states do not operate machinery during the film for your own safety. In fact, Jack Black movies could be used to cure insomnia. Or used to get terrorists to talk by threatening to run them non stop and then rerun them over and over until they go insane (if they weren’t already).

He also looks like he’s coked up all the time. Ever see his crazy eyes?

We need to start an "MSM Divestment movement." Every cable TV bill gives a little money to MTV and other atrocities (and no, Fox News isn't worth this). Let's help convince those who only subscribe "for the sports" to switch over to newer products like MLB.tv that are cheaper than cable TV. Even if watching Hulu.com funds leftists and satanists, it doesn't subsidize them through cable packages.

People aren't buying much nowadays, but with a TV with a PC video jack, high speed internet, a good WiFi system, and a moderately priced laptop with surround sound, even sports fans can go without their TV cable umbilical.

Would be nice if you could pay for the channels you want to watch. Would not take long for CNN and the like to see a drop in funds.

[Jaded]

I have never cared for him. Something about him is just creepy.

The real sad part is that JB is now on some shows at Nick Jr, formerly Noggin, for pre-school kids.
And guess who owns Nick Jr tv?

[1000 silverlings]

people who sell their souls to Satan will find that he always comes to collect and usually in a gruesome way

[marshmallow]

It's no surprise that some "celebrities" have fallen for the same temptation with which Satan attempted to lure Jesus when he took Him up a high mountain, showed Him the world and said, "All this I will give you if you will just bow down and worship me."

"Good deal" says Jack Black and many like him.

Our culture has now degenerated to the point where we demand to be fed lies. Whether it's WWE fans screaming for their hero, true believers in the cult of political messiahs or followers of the occult in search of a "high". We don't care about the truth. We simply want our ears tickled. Satan is the "father of lies" and he's more than happy to oblige us.

This is the "America" that the radical Moslems hate and it's taking us down.

reminds me of this Mr. Show sketch:

and that is Tom Kenny (SpongeBob)

Not Jack Black, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Freepers, time to start praying for him.

Loved him in The Holiday.

[Raymann]

I saw the show, it was obvious he was doing this in just however bad in taste it might be.

¡Ay, que bella!

I liked him in some of his movies, I think he can be funny. He makes children's movies now, too (School of Rock). And now that he's got the audience's (including children's) attention, now, he decides to publicly 'pray' that way. A real display of cowardice. And he's that dad to 2 young boys. IF he meant it as a 'joke', not funny. If not, well, it's a sad thing.

Why doesn't that surprise me? He was clearly a freak the moment he began his extended 15 minutes.

[Zionist Conspirator]

This is the "America" that the radical Moslems hate and it's taking us down.

They may hate it, but I bet you the radical moslem citizens of the USA vote for the same politicians it does!

[fieldmarshaldj]

Jack Black’s problem is that he just isn’t funny. He’s painful to watch, and not even Satan can fix that.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Remember the bumper sticker in '04 ?

Kids loooove Jack Black. I think because of “School of Rock.”

Hollywood pretty much hates Christianity. They are more than overt about it. However, if the person is an ethnic (non-Anglo) Christian, from Italian to Mexican to even black, their religion is nearly revered. Check out all the Day of the Dead festivities coming up in Hollywood.

Judaism is respected by everyone in Hollywood who is NOT Jewish. Because if it were NOT respected, the Jews in Hollywood would be really angry, because they believe that only THEY can denigrate their religion.
