CRTC, station receive complaint over comments by Sunday morning evangelist

An Ottawa viewer's complaint about "outrageous" comments on homosexuality by U.S. evangelist Jimmy Swaggart has sparked an apology by the television station, and a complaint to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission. Vance Strickland wrote to Omni 1, a multicultural station based in Toronto, and to the CRTC after stumbling across the show on Sunday. According to a transcript of the program, Mr. Swaggart said: "I'm trying to find the correct name for it ... this utter absolute, asinine, idiotic stupidity of men marrying men. ... I've never seen a man in my life I wanted to marry. And I'm gonna be blunt and plain; if one ever looks at me like that, I'm gonna kill him and tell God he died." Sandy Zwyer, Omni 1's spokesperson, said Mr. Swaggart's remarks were "a serious breach" of regulations, and the station manager is reviewing the tape of the program.

So much for free speech. Oh, wait. This took place in Canada.

 

That ol' wacky Jimmy.

 

And what in the blue hell is a "multicultrual station?..."

[MrRant]

It broadcasts in all the colors of the rainbow?

[Guest El Satanico]

Um...Jimmy...yeah you're an idiot.

 

His plan would involve lying to God? How is a man of goduh gonna lie to god and believe he can get away with it. He'd know the truth Jimmy...the motherfucker sees it all Jimmy.

 

Can't wait to hang out with Jimmy in hell.

It plays programming from a bunch of different cultures? I'm from Canada, we say you're slow, eh?

 

Chinese television, Spanish television, Italian television, and of course, the Simpsons.

[kkktookmybabyaway]

Sounds stupid and hippish.

 

Also sounds like something that nobody would watch unless forced.

 

And we have "multicultrual stations" as well -- BET, for one...

[Ted the Poster]

You mean multicultural in the sense of channels for specific groups, like Telemundo and Lifetime, right? I'm just asking since at first read it seems like you're saying BET itself is multicultural, which is downright laughable.

I know -- that's why I said it...

[cue_meanie]

Its multicultural in that, in one night you're going to see news from China, Japan, Spain, Italy and the aforementioned gluttonous amount of Simpsons, its one of the best channels excluding all the "Multicultural" shows, and its been this way for atleast 15 years. It even has the groovin "You're watching Omni TV" songs, which im sure every Canadian on this board has had in their head at some point.
