Plans for Animated Jesus Sitcom Draw Fire

JC, an animated series Comedy Central is developing about Jesus Christ living in modern-day New York, has prompted protests from conservative and religious groups.

A group calling itself Citizens Against Religious Bigotry, or CARB, has planned a teleconference with the media on Thursday to “(d)enounce JC and the concept of glorifying religious bigotry as Comedy Central openly mocks and dispar More..ages God and Christianity yet takes every precaution to not attack Islam.”

• JC: A half-hour animated show about JC (Jesus Christ) wanting to escape his father's enormous shadow and live life in NYC as a regular guy. A lot has changed in 2000 years and he is the ultimate fish out of water. Meanwhile his all-powerful yet apathetic father would rather be playing video games than listening to JC recount his life in the city. JC is a playful take on religion and society with a sprinkle of dumb.
