Huffington Post reports:
America’s Christian right is aglow with rage over the portrayal of Jesus Christ as altruistic black guy living in modern-day Compton, California.
The trailer for Black Jesus, a comedy show scheduled to air on the Adult Swim cable network – the evening schedule of the Cartoon Network in the US – features the Messiah as a man on a “daily mission to spread love and kindness throughout the neighbourhood with the help of his small but loyal group of downtrodden followers”.
Or, as the Christian Post decried, a “faux messiah dropping four-letter expletives and being accused of ‘smoking all the f*cking weed,’ in addition to being shot at and getting carjacked.” Adult Swim is billing the show as “the most anticipated comeback in history”.
