Leslie Bibb is set to star in an ABC pilot called 'Good Christian Bitches' (Reuters).萊斯利比布準備主演美國廣播公司的試播節目稱為'好的基督徒母狗'（路透社）。
An ABC pilot called “Good Christian Bitches” has religious and women’s groups up in arms over what they describe as an extremely offensive and distasteful show title.
一個美國廣播公司的試播節目被稱為“好的基督徒母狗”，有宗教和婦女團體以武裝出現，針對它們形容為一個十分冒犯性和令人反感的節目標題。
The dramedy, based on Kim Gatlin’s novel of the same name, will be brought to life by famed “Sex and the City” and “90210” executive producer Darren Star. The plot centers on the life of reformed “mean girl” Amanda, played by “Talladega Nights” actress Leslie Bibb, who returns to her hometown of Dallas to find herself fodder for malicious gossip from the women in the Christian community.
該劇建基於同名的金加特林小說，將由著名的“慾望都市”和“90210”的執行製片達倫星帶入生活。情節聚焦在革新的“孤寒女孩”阿曼達的生活，由“塔拉迪加之夜”的女演員萊斯利比布飾演，她回到她的家鄉達拉斯，發現她自己是來自基督教社區女性的惡意流言的飼料，。
Still in the early stages, the pilot has not been guaranteed a spot on ABC’s lineup. And though the show’s title may change before it goes to broadcast, “Good Christian Bitches” is already causing uproar.
仍處在早期階段，試播節目並沒有在ABC的演出陣容中得到保證為定期小節目。和雖然節目的標題在它播出之前可能改變，“好的基督徒母狗“已經引起軒然大波。
Christian publisher Tessie DeVore told FOX411’s Pop Tarts column that the show, which features the tagline “For Heaven’s sake, don’t let God get in the way of a good story!” could put Christians in an unfairly bad light.
基督教出版商特西德沃爾告訴 FOX411的彈出撻專斕，該節目的吸引人標語：“在天堂的份上，不要讓上帝到達一個好故事的路上！“可能把基督徒置於不公平的壞光線下。
“I find the title offensive. I don’t think those two words should be combined,” she said. “A show like this can damage perceptions [of Christians in this country].”
“我發現標題屬冒犯性，我不認為那兩個詞應該被結合，“她說。 “像這樣的表演可能會損壞[在這個國家的基督徒]的看法。“
It also could be a slippery slope for future shows, said Melissa Henson, director of communications and public education for the Parents’ Television Council tells Tarts.
“In the past, we’ve raised concerns about changing language standards for television," Henson said. "Once a particular profanity or obscenity has been embraced by a particular show, it quickly becomes mainstream.”
And Yana Walton from the Women’s Media Center said Christians aren't the only ones who should be upset.
“It is not an appropriate term to use to describe any woman, regardless of their faith,” Walton said. “Entertainment media, especially music and films, have been normalizing misogynistic language for years.”
But despite the seemingly outrageous title, Dan Gainor, head of the Culture and Media Institute, is not surprised that the pilot has gone this far already.
“ABC is doubling down on the offensive by also approving ‘Don’t Trust the Bitch in Apartment 23,’ following up on the CBS show ‘$#*! My Dad Says.’ And this continued decline is unsurprising,” he said.
“The media keeps trying to redefine words and morality to mean what they say, not what they really do mean," Gainor added. "One wonders which network will be the first to drop the F-bomb in a TV title and whether the FCC will even intervene.”
Even if the title holds up, some are looking forward to the show.
“ABC’s core viewership is Christian, so the goal of the show won’t be to attack Christianity. Just like the book, this is a show by Christians, for (mostly) Christians, to enjoy a little prime-time self-deprecation,” Los Angeles-based entertainment expert, Jenn Hoffman said.
A representative for ABC declined to comment on the story.
