  NBC Moves Ahead With Plans To Air Madonna Scene Mocking The Crucifixion of Christ
  "Crucifixes are sexy because there's a naked man (Jesus) on them." - Madonna
  Dear Dianne,
  Despite 740,811 emails asking the network to cancel Madonna's mocking of the crucifixion of Christ in an up-coming November special, NBC still plans to air the crucifixion mockery scene. 

NBC said they found nothing wrong with the scene mocking the crucifixion of Christ. Such was not the case when NBC refused to show Danish newspaper cartoons depicting Muhammad in a negative light. NBC's message? Show respect for Muslims, but it is ok to bash Christians. 

In the special, Madonna, wearing a fake crown of thorns, descends on a suspended mirrored, disco ball-type cross. Click here to see photos of Madonna's crucifixion scene. 

Madonna has mocked Christ for many years. In 1989 she released a video for the song "Like A Prayer." The video featured burning crosses, statues crying blood and Madonna--representing Jesus--freeing a saint from his sexual repression by seducing him. 

          Take Action      1. Click here to send your email to potential sponsors asking them not to sponsor Madonna's program. 

2. Call your local NBC affiliate and ask them not to run the Madonna special. 

3. Help get the word out about Madonna's mocking the crucifixion by forwarding this email to your entire mailing list and urge them to take action. 

4. Print out the AFA Pass Along sheet and distribute at your Sunday School class and church. Ask your pastor to encourage members to send an email. 

If you think our efforts are worthy, would you please support us with a small gift? Thank you for caring enough to get involved. 
  Sincerely,

  Donald E. Wildmon, Founder and Chairman
