Well, duh.

If you air a religious cartoon on network television, be prepared to have it changed by the network. If that's not to your taste, don't watch it on that network. I especially like the quote at the end of the article about illustrating the disconnect between Hollywood and the real world. If you're "the real world," then I am rather disconnected from you, too.

Apparently, whoever owns VeggieTales isn't morally righteous enough to yank the show. So, they're letting their edited product continue to be aired, and continuing to take the moneys for airing it.

Yeah. They're crying all the way to the bank.

No sympathy from me.

He says he didn't realize how much would have to be cut, but he decided that a partial message was better than none at all. It looks like the Veggietales people are all right with the compromise - it's a conservative media watch group that's upset.

I think they need to stop starching their underwear. It seems to constantly be in a bunch.
