400-408 – What do you think of the name of an ABC pilot for the fall entitled "Good Christian Bitches"?  (The B-word that rhymes with riches.) Can you imagine "Good Muslim Bitches" or "Good Jewish Bitches"?  Or, how about a black comedy by that name?  What's your reaction to Disney-owned ABC's new offering by Darren Star, who gave us 90210, Sex and the City, and Melrose Place?  And, if that wasn't offensive enough, Disney is planning on a second (!) show with the B-word in the title, "Don't Trust the Bitch in Apartment 23."

• Fox News (3/4/2011) Critics Slam ABC Pilot 'Good Christian Bitches' for 'Inappropriate,' 'Damaging' Title.

• Tim Wildmon, American Family Association (3/7/2011) ABC network set to attack Christianity with "Good Christian B-tches" show.  "For Heaven's sake, don't let God get in the way of a good story!" - GCB author Kim Gatlin.

March 7, 2011 – The ABC network is currently working on a pilot for a prime-time program called "Good Christian B-tches."  It's a Christian-bashing version of ABC's current "Desperate Housewives." The show centers on a recently divorced mother of two who moves back to the affluent neighborhood where she grew up to find herself in the whirling midst of gossip, Botox and fraud.

Disney-owned ABC has no reservations about creating hate speech against Christians, but you can be sure they would never consider a show called "Good Muslim B-tches" or "Good Jewish B-tches."

With a title like "Good Christian B-tches," you can imagine what kind of show it will be. Even if they change the title, the content will still mock people of faith.

TAKE ACTION 

Sign a petition to ABC and parent company Disney to drop all plans to air the anti-Christian program "Good Christian B-tches." 

We'll add your petition to thousands of other voices in also urging advertisers to place it on their "do not advertise" list and consider pulling all ads from the ABC network in protest of this Anti-Christian bigotry. 

Please let your local ABC station know that you will pressure local advertisers to pull their advertising business from the show and station, should it choose to air the program. You can find your local station's contact information here.
