Questionable Content

From the Parent's Television Council's website, a review of The Chronicles of Narnia has these gems:

Questionable content:
Realistic, graphic and violent King Arthur-like battle scenes with axes, swords, and hatches. Beheadings, stabbing and wounding is rampant during the fight scenes. Edmund is stabbed by the White Witch and he lays, dying in the grass as he clutches his wound and struggles to breathe. There is some blood visible beneath his hands.
The killing of Aslan, though not shown, is more than implied as we see the White Witch hold her dagger over the body of Aslan and then bring is violently down where he would be. Aslan is shown dead and is said to be dead several times. Susan and Lucy witness Aslan's murder and go to the body after he is dead. Also, the moments before he is killed are cruel, sadistic and humiliating as his mane is clipped off and he is tied up and dragged up the steps to the stone table where he is killed.


Well...yes...I suppose that is "questionable". While the movie got a "Seal of Approval" from the PTC, what is more questionable is why (or how) the folks over at the PTC missed the whole point of The Chronicles of Narnia...ummm...folks, that there cat is a "Christ Character" ....you know...allegory....literary device used by C.S. Lewis - one of the most important Christian writers of the 20th Century.

Now, now...don't be fooled into thinking that the PTC doesn't have an agenda. I took a look out there for what they had to say about the Passion of Christ...and well...I guessed that they were all for it, regardless of the violence...my guess was right on the money.

Brent Bozell...please...for the love of all that is Holy, shut the fuck up.
