Fox Wants to Capture the “Gargantuan Christian Audience”

Posted by on September 19 at 10:49 AM

The network is expected to announce plans today about its new Christian film studio, FoxFaith. I wish I was making this up, but I’m not. I also shudder to think what corporate Christian “reality” programming might look like, provided their film division eventually expands its scope.

God sells.

George Bush, Jesus camp, Fox Faith...it's enough to make anyone want to wage a jihad.

Only idiots practice religion. Christians don't want teenagers to fuck and Jews think god wants them to suck blood out of baby cocks. Only idiots believe in religion.

The Torah is good for wiping your ass with, the bible works just as well.

Even New York Public Health can't stop Rabbis from sucking blood from baby cock because god tells them to. Check out what Slate says;

But, imagine all the programming possibilities. I mean just the "Christians versus Godless Athiests, Jews, and other going-to-hell non-Christian religions" reality shows alone should be a hoot!

I only hope they don't give that creepy "prayer warrior" lady her own show; after all, one must draw the line somewhere.

Jews vs. Islam survival reality show is on news television every night. I think Jews are winning and Islam will be voted off the island.

How appropriate... The already opiate-addled masses get a new drug specially designed for them.
It IS come the Apocolypse...
Jeb Bush, Lord and Leader, 2008!

Wish I had thought of it first. Christians are typically very stupid and easily persuaded to part with their money. Ideal consumers! Only fitting that some big media company figured out that by making jesuspr0n they could make fistfulls of money.

Damn I'm jealous...

So when they say “Gargantuan Christian Audience,” they're talking about fat Christians, right?

I swear, I'm going to start writing "Christian" bodice-rippers. There is a huge, heaving market out there for one-handed reads for Christian ladies - just throw a few references to prayer and church in there with heaving bosoms and throbbing manhoods, and you can basically just mint money.

There is a Catholic cable channel and they have a show with some Brothers or monks or something who live in an abbey or monastary or something, and they are HOT! They wear those robes, and you wonder if they have any underwear on.

There's money in them thar Christers.

A couple of years ago we did some marketing for the mail order CD behemoth Time Life. Whatever they sell tends to do quite well, but their gospel and Christian music products do extraordinary well. Where the non-religious folk would order $30 or $40 worth of product on average, the religious music average order was $100, and were more than likely to be long-time repeat customers.

Hopefully Fox will be able to cash in before the next big fad comes along.

Even though I am not a Christian I am not going to badmouth fox on this one. What Fox is doing is creating niche channels and programming that other channels don't do. They look for a product with a huge base that is not getting that product For example, they created the greatest sports network, the FOX soccer channel since there was absolutely no soccer coverage on any other channel even though it is the worlds most popular sport. Now they are creating a channel a show for Christians. There are a lot of them so the market is obviously there. Plus Christians LOVE to spend money on their kind of entertainment so FOX can really milk them good. So it makes good business sense.

Hey! If they have their own national cable channel, then we can redirect them there when they complain about language or content on other channels, doncha think?
