WASHINGTON, Jan. 11 /Christian Newswire/ -- "The NBC and CBS television networks may be rival corporations, but they have one thing in common," said Douglas R. Scott, Jr., president of Life Decisions International (LDI)." Both networks have allowed programming that blatantly mocks Christianity."
An episode of "Late Night With Conan O'Brien," which was taped on January 10, 2007 and aired early this morning, featured a character called "the homophobic country western singer."
"Our last new character's heart is in the right place, even if he's a complete idiot," said show host O'Brien in his introduction. "Please welcome…the homophobic country western singer."
A middle-aged man wearing country western clothing comes out from behind a curtain. He begins to play a guitar and sing:
Oh I love you Jesus
But only as a friend.
You touched my heart but I hope
That's where the touchin' ends.
You're always lookin' over me
When I need a higher power.
But you better look at somethin' else
When I'm in the shower.

On December 11, 2006, the CBS program "Two and a Half Men" opened with actor Charlie Sheen lighting candles and singing a song to the tune of "Joy to the World" (see press release):
Joy to the world
I'm getting laid
I'm getting laid tonight.
We'll light the Yule log
Deck the halls
And then we'll play
Some jingle balls.
It's been a real long wait
This is our second date
It's Christmas Eve
And I'm getting laid.
