Fox's 'Bordertown' Proselytizes Against Christianity
Culture
Bordertown is no stranger to controversy. In its very first episode, FOX's brand new animated comedy raged against everyone. From its unrepentant, racist protagonist to the worthless, whiny millennial do-gooder, no group was spared. At the time, I asked how long Bordertown could keep up with this shtick. Not long, apparently. By the show's second episode, Bordertown's writers had slipped into the…

ABC Presents Bible Stories (With or Without Full Frontal Nudity)
Culture
Yes, some of the Old Testament reads like Game of Thrones (humans are a sinful lot – that’s kind of the point of the entire Bible). But your natural audience for Old Testament stories isn’t exactly clamoring for explicit rape scenes and graphic massacres. To offer believing Christians and Jews an X-rated version of King David can only be a failure of imagination or a calculated insult. Or both.
