not an "i told you so"...

... but perhaps a little vindication. don wildmon finally caught up with the rest of the world and sent out his action alert with the pre-requisite petition concerning veggie-gate. i guess he was waiting for nbc to hand down their decision concerning madonna and her faux-crucifixion stunt, and whether they were going to edit it out of her upcoming special (SURPRISE!!! they left it in). that worked out for bro. don because then he could really go to town on nbc (they get the double whammy... God bad, madonna good).

anway, in his action alert, he quoted phil vischer from another article, in which mr. vischer stated that had he known how much censorship NBC would exercise, he would not have signed on for the network deal. so while some may see a castrated veggie tales as being better than no veggie tales at all, not even the guy who created the franchise thinks this deal turned out all that great.

of course, what IS great about the whole thing is that God IS bigger than the boogie man (and the nbc censors), so i have no doubt that what man intended for evil, God intended for good... a romans 8:28 moment where some kid somewhere will get his parent to buy him some REAL veggie tales videos. and maybe what God wanted us to learn from this all along is that He will do exceedingly well even when we mess it up. after all, in our weakness, He is strong!
