Social liberals and conservatives find common ground? (new ABC show Good Christian Bitches)

(via Drudge Retort, linking to Fox News, yes I know, but at least this isn't really a political story.)

The Fox News story quotes people from the Parents Television Council, Culture and Media Institute (both socially conservative groups) as well as the Women's Media Center (the organization founded by Jane Fonda and Gloria Steinem, not exactly conservatives if you ask me).

This new show, Good Christian Bitches, is based on Kim Gatlin's novel of the same name and " centers on the life of reformed “mean girl” Amanda, played by “Talladega Nights” actress Leslie Bibb, who returns to her hometown of Dallas to find herself fodder for malicious gossip from the women in the Christian community."

It also could be a slippery slope for future shows, said Melissa Henson, director of communications and public education for the Parents’ Television Council tells Tarts.

“In the past, we’ve raised concerns about changing language standards for television," Henson said. "Once a particular profanity or obscenity has been embraced by a particular show, it quickly becomes mainstream.”

And Yana Walton from the Women’s Media Center said Christians aren't the only ones who should be upset.

“It is not an appropriate term to use to describe any woman, regardless of their faith,” Walton said. “Entertainment media, especially music and films, have been normalizing misogynistic language for years.”

But despite the seemingly outrageous title, Dan Gainor, head of the Culture and Media Institute, is not surprised that the pilot has gone this far already.

“ABC is doubling down on the offensive by also approving ‘Don’t Trust the Bitch in Apartment 23,’ following up on the CBS show ‘$#*! My Dad Says.’ And this continued decline is unsurprising,” he said.

3. Sorry "conservative Christian" is an oxymoron.

Like "giant shrimp". Or "compassionate repuke".
