The unforgiving minute: Special "Twilight: Eclipse" edition


The Christian Coalition knows something about horror, founded as it was in horror of anyone having fun anywhere, and it may be forced to make a tough call:

Roberta Combs, president of the Christian Coalition of America, which called for a ban on the Potter series, says she's considering a similar campaign against Twilight because even though it's pro-abstinence, it's also pro-vampires.

The CCA might as well be worrying that, even though a movie is "pro-Easter bunny," it's also "pro-Tooth Fairy."

Just to clarify:

According to the Christian Coalition, the practice of vampirism in American high schools is a pernicious left-wing fantasy.

According to a ten-year study, the practice of abstinence in American high schools is a pernicious right-wing fantasy.

Minute's up.

(And yes, of course: The name-dropping in the title was intended to move units. If it works for Burger King, why not for p3?)
