WorldNetDaily: Christians offer halftime show alternative

Remember Janet Jackson? Yes, I hear you--you'd just as soon forget her, and Justin What's-his-name.

Well, now you have some good news: Sky Angel, the Christian satellite TV service, is planning its own Super Bowl halftime show, to compete directly with the halftime show that everyone will see at the stadium. It will be a special edition of Sportsweek, Sky Angel's regular feature that has Christian athletes giving "testimonies," or expositions on how they came to know the Lord and what their faith means to them as they play. They'll have as co-host a Christian athlete who actually made it to the Super Bowl: Robin Cole, former All-Pro linebacker for the once-perennial Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers.

Now this is TV as it should be: a network that actually responds to viewers, and doesn't exist solely for temperamental "artists" who think they have a right to exhibit any "art" they create, whether anyone actually wants to patronize their art or not. It will be interesting to count how many people change channels at halftime to take in this alternative program--which sounds like an excellent program, in keeping with the finest traditions (yes, actual and original traditions) of organized sport in the USA.
