So this new made for TV movie coming soon on ABC "Locusts"..
.. is this just another step in corporate media's attempt at Christianizing 'Murica?

Thoughts?

1. A more telling example would be invasion of the body snatchers.
But they'll never get the mainstream media to report that, since that's what happened to the mainstream media.

3. Yes it ranks up there with revulsions. My mother and I were trying
to figure out what CBS's response was going to be... They had a special on Elvis. LOL.

4. I'm gonna write one called "Rapture."
Bush, most of Congress, half of the Supremes, and all the Fundies will disappear. Those of us who are left will build a fine society in their absence.

5. I agree. There is an obvious attempt to keep religion in the forefront in
entertainment media as well as in news sources. At first I was going to watch Revelations b/c Bill Pullman was in it, then I decided to avoid it. Even though I know I am not going to suddenly be indoctrinated, I don't want this stuff to be anywhere in my conscious thought. And not having seen it will cut short discussion with anybody who wants to talk about it with me. This religion infusing everything is scaring the shit out of me.
