Disney's new animated..."The Ten Commandments" is coming out soon. This lil snipet kind of cracks me up. Lets make a basketball movie, but NO BASKETBALLS TO BE USED!




It's a movie about the Bible, but family-friendly Disney Co. is moving heaven and earth to make sure the word "God" is stricken from some advertisements promoting an upcoming animated film on Moses and the Ten Commandments.
Radio Disney (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,302746,00.html#) was to broadcast a radio spot for Promenade Pictures, makers of the film "The Ten Commandments," but the company sent an e-mail earlier this month instructing that the phrase "chosen by God" be stripped from the script.
"Our BS&P [Broadcast Standards and Procedures] said Both scripts need to include the studio mention and omit the following line: CHOSEN BY GOD.... Please let me know if you have any questions," reads the e-mail, sent Oct. 2 to Promenade media buyer Casey Baker by Radio Disney Network sales associate Jason Atkinson.

It's interesting to see religion creeping into the mainstream media/entertainment industry.

I was really surprised to see NBC broadcasting "Veggie Tales" on Saturday morning.

I thought that maybe this was an edited version of the show (a religious cartoon for kids) without the religious content.

When I heard one of the characters say, "I can't take that pizza, I'd be dishonoring God" I was really shocked.

If you don't want to talk about God, don't make a Ten Commandments movie. I don't want to give away too much but God's the one who comes up with the commandments.

You know what? Don't make a Ten Commandments movie.

How dare anyone mention the word "God" anywhere ever again.

I'm offended.

Nothing more to say. I've said enough.
We will forever be battling over religion, sex, and race in this country.

Let's all get together and make a movie about the torments and suffering that awaits non-believers after death OH WAIT I GUESS THEY ALREADY DID. (http://www.amazon.com/Left-Behind-Movie-Kirk-Cameron/dp/B0002T2QWE/ref=pd_bbs_sr_3/002-4572915-6717614?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1192674910&sr=1-3)

I was watching a video where a group of Atheists called The Rational Response Squad debated Mike Seaver and his little boyfriend Ray Comfort and Cameron looked like he was going to shit his pants when the one dude totally owned him.

That Disney remake will never top Charlton Heston's version.

Better than them remaking Birth of a Nation, and replacing the KKK with cowboys in "white".

I think this belongs in the "I predict" thread along with your other predictions, lol

Charlton Heston was a shitty Moses. The best part about that movie is Edward G. Robinson, one of the few actual Yids in the movie, and his whole "where's your messiah now?" shtick.

That shit that Robinson pulled off was worthy of Barrabas the Jew or Shylock.

On what opinions are you basing your statement that he was "shitty?" Is it the fact he was not Jewish makes you hate the movie or what?

He made a good performance in that movie, but nothing tops his acting in "Soylent Green."

Shit, man. Heston never topped his role in The Omega Man. Motherfucker banged himself a hot sista in that one!
All he did in The Ten Commandments was portray a madman who was responsible for the deaths of over 500,000 Egyptians and Jews. The first mass murderer in the history of the world.

I can assure you disney made this movie to make money, not to promote the christian faith.
