So, a month or so back, there was a thread going about this right-wing christian movie review page that trashed the South Park movie ('straight from the flaming pits of hell', was the quote, I think) Well, apparently the time has come for the CAP (Childcare Action Project) review site to rejoin the good lord, it seems. What I find particularly amusing is how this 50-year old guy with nine (NINE!!!!!) kids is whining that he has to find a 'secular' job now to support his family. Gee, wonder how much easier it would have been to take care of the children over the past four years if you hadn't been taking yourself out to movies with your little note pad to record all those nasty swear words. From http://www.capalert.com/ : TO: Visitors and Patrons of the ChildCare Action Project: Christian Analysis of American Culture (CAP) Ministry FROM: The CAP president This is a very painful message, so please bear with me. This hurts immensely, quite likely more than you can fathom, but I owe it to you to give notice rather than just let you find out. For four years this month we have kept this ministry going on family funds, but now there are no more. We must essentially shut down so I can devote the regular day to finding a secular job. To the folks who have given: to the less than 0.01% of our visitors and patrons who have donated their hard-earned money, I am so sorry. So, so sorry. In the three of the four years of this ministry I have taken three temporary jobs to provide for the family, but they were woefully inadequate for a family of nine. The likelihood of finding a fulltime family-supporting job at 50 years old in the secular world is not high, but as with everything else this matter is in the Hands of our Lord. The email prayer support services and other email ministering services and the website will remain active since they are paid for until January 2000, but there will be very few if any new postings to the website. I can already hear some folks with good intentions and a good heart say This is His Will. To that I say it is not. I say that it is the will of the people, not Him. He has done His Part and has given us a chance to do our part. I will do what I can to provide media analyses with what He gives me.

I will do what I can to provide media analyses with what He gives me. [I'll still blow the money I earn going to dirty movies and bloviating to everyone I meet while my wife tries to figure out how to feed eleven people with two packs of Ramen Noodles and a carton of expired cream cheese.]

Mmm hmmm. I always have to get a laugh out of these so called 'moral' types that are constantly trashing movies with 'questionable' content. I can't help but think Hey, how many times did you actually *watch* this movie in order to find out exactly what's so immoral about it. You perv, you. Poor guy. He has to get a JOB. Gee, it must suck to be him.:-P~~~~ Peace, Cassie I remember Johnny Carson, oh, 30, 40 years ago, commenting about some racy movie that had just been released, and in the newspaper ads there was a picture of a bare back of a woman. Nothing but back. Well, arms, and back of her head, I suppose. And some newspaper censor had drawn a bikini (or bra!?!?!) strap across her back, because the newspapers wouldn't print the ad. Carson says, I wonder about the guy who's sitting there drawing this strap across this picture of some actress' back or something like that. If it rots your mind, how rotten must the minds of the censors be by now? Cheers! Rich (also saw the time Jane Fonda asked him about the infamous pet my pussy legend, and he said he didn't remember anything like that happening, and that could probably be verified by looking through the tapes.)

I've wondered that for a long time.  I can remember when Alan Alda starred in a movie called _The Seduction of Joe Tynan_, about a United States Senator.  What I remember the most clearly is that the Arizona _Republic_ at first refused to run print ads for the movie, on the grounds that the word seduction was Inappropriate For A Famileee Newspaper. Before too long, the ruling was changed and the ads were printed
