AMERICAN FAMILY ASSOCIATION GETS SEARS, JCPENNEY TO YANK ADS FROM 'SNL' OVER 'DJESUS UNCROSSED' SKIT

AMERICAN FAMILY ASSOCIATION GETS SEARS, JCPENNEY TO YANK ADS FROM 'SNL' OVER 'DJESUS UNCROSSED' SKIT


The American Family Association successfully petitioned Sears and JCPenney to pull their advertising from Saturday Night Live after the show mocked Jesus in a sketch called DJesus Uncrossed.
The comedy show's Feb. 16 episode spoofed the Quentin Tarantino film Django Unchained by showing a post-resurrection Jesus brandishing a sword and slaughtering Roman soldiers. The voice-over intoned, “He’s risen from the dead. And he’s preaching anything but forgiveness.”
