Christian Group Publishes $90K Ad in 'USA Today' Condemning Kathy Griffin

If Kathy Griffin's ultimate goal in life is to get off of the 'D List', winning
an Emmy was a good start-and pissing off a Christian Theatre so much they'd drop
$90,000 on an ad in USA Today condemning her Emmy speech is the icing on the
cake.
The Miracle Theatre Group, based in Pigeon Forge, TN-the same part of the world
Dolly Parton is from-was so offended by Kathy's acceptance speech, in which she
said Jesus had nothing to do with her winning the award, they pooled funds to
take out the full page ad in the daily newspaper, according to the Associated
Press.

According to DListed.com, the ad, which ran Monday, read: "We at The Miracle
Theater consider it an honor to stand for Jesus today. We may never win a
national award. We may never be household names. We may never be seen in
Hollywood. Although others may choose to use their national platform to slander
our God, we are honored as professional entertainers to stand for Christ."

Petition set up to seek respect for Jesus' name

Actress Kathy Griffin's rant at the Emmy awards in which she told Jesus to "suck
it" has triggered a petition campaign intended to tell Hollywood "Enough is
Enough!"

Griffin, the star of the Bravo show "My Life on the D-List," was being honored
for the Outstanding Reality Program, overtaking ABC's "Extreme Makeover: Home
Edition" after multiple attempts, when she launched into the tirade.

But cast members at the Miracle Theater in Pigeon Forge, Tenn., say they have
had all they can stand.

"We, as Christian entertainers, do not take it lightly that the name of our Lord
and Savior has been mocked, and in response, we took out an ad in USA Today to
stand up for Him," the group said.
