One Million Moms, a nonprofit family-interest group, has managed to convince the manufacturer Sleep Number to stop funding CBS' new comedy series, "Angel from Hell," starring Jane Lynch, which, it says, disrespects Christianity.
"The previews alone can make believers sick to their stomachs with the blasphemous content including crude humor, foul language and distasteful dialogue," says an alert posted on the website of One Million Moms, an organization founded by the American Family Association.
The series, which premiered Jan. 7, airs on Thursday evenings. The show is about an angel named Amy, who acts as a guardian for Allison, forming an unlikely friendship. It focuses on "a holier-than-thou character who is anything but that," the family interest group says.
"The network also cast children in scenes that are extremely inappropriate, such as the angel using foul language in front of them and then joking that she never promised to be G-rated," the group adds. "The premiere also included the angel hiding liquor in the children's clothes and saying, 'My booze!' followed by a little boy saying, 'That's so cool!' Almost every scene included the angel drinking alcohol from a flask, even on Sunday, and once at a bar. Not to mention the angel rides on a wrecking ball while busting up a concrete angel statue."
Networks like CBS portray a false image of religion "once again," the group says, calling the show "another attempt to distort the truth about people's faith."
