Comedy Central considers series mocking Christ (OneNewsNow.com)

Comedy Central considers series mocking Christ (OneNewsNow.com)

NEW YORK - Having already caused controversy this spring with the depiction of the prophet Muhammad on South Park, Comedy Central said Thursday that it has a cartoon series about Jesus Christ in the works.



JC is one of 23 potential series the network said it has in development. It depicts Christ as a "regular guy" who moves to New York to "escape his father's enormous shadow."



His father is presented as an apathetic man who would rather play video games than listen to his son talk about his new life, according to Comedy Central's thumbnail sketch of the idea. Reveille, the production company behind The Office, Ugly Betty, and The Biggest Loser, is making JC.



It wouldn't be the first time Jesus Christ has been on a Comedy Central cartoon; he's a recurring character on the long-running South Park.
