'Black Christmas' is making some religious groups scream. The slasher flick is set to open on Christmas, much to the horror of some Christians, who are calling for a boycott of the movie.
“It’s a disgrace,” said Michele Combs, director of communications for the Christian Coalition, based in Washington, D.C. “The movie industry has really gone too far, and we are sending out an e-mail asking people to discourage others, especially young people, from seeing it.”
“Christmas is one of our holiest of days,” Combs said. “It is galling that the movie industry would try to destroy the true meaning of Christmas by (releasing) a horror film on that day.”“It’s another strike against Christmas,” said Robert Marley, co-founder of the Coalition to Save Christmas in Massachusetts. “It’s in bad taste. Not only does it
send a bad message, it’s the further degradation of our holiday.”From Boston Herald
*sigh*. I really hate the world we live in today. You should actually see the Coalition to Save Christmas website. It's insanity. The whole world has gone nuts for Christmas.
I can just imagine a Coalition meeting with these people:Help us thwart the imminent abolition of Christmas. We need to stand together as one, and make it perfectly clear that enough is enough. It's Christmas! Kindly explain the hypocrisy.
Furthermore, we want Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah and Happy Kwanzaa restored in the malls and stores that would have our money. Lets not forget that all December traditions have been removed from most malls and stores.
Notwithstanding, it is the Christmas season not the holiday season, it is a National Holiday, it is a Christmas Tree not a pine tree, and He is the Christmas Santa, not the holiday Santa.
Christmas Coalition: "Oh my god, you're not going to believe this! The other day, I was at K-Mart and not one person, NOT ONE PERSON, said Merry Christmas to me."
Christian Coalition: "You're kidding me?"
Christmas Coalition: "I shit you not."
Christian Coalition: "Well, did you hear about The Weinstein Company releasing Black Christmas on Christmas Day?"
Christmas Coalition: "No way! Goddamn Jews, slapping baby Jesus in the face YET AGAIN"
Christian Coalition: "Totally!"
You know what, I wasn't going to go see Black Christmas because quite frankly it looks like garbage. But now I have a reason to go. To spite these jerks.
