Reason #47 million gross: Will Ferrell

You'd think going to a Will Ferrell movie would be wholesome family entertainment, right? The man who gave us Frank the Tank and Ron Burgundy making a movie about NASCAR? What could be better?

How about not having your faith full-on assaulted! As the WorldNetDaily points out, Talladega Nights is nothing but "Christian Bashing in High Gear"

''Talladega Nights'' is one of the most blasphemous, politically correct major movies ever released by a major Hollywood studio. It is a racist, bigoted work that ridicules southern, white Christian males. In one scene, the filmmakers sneeringly deride Southern Christians who say prayers to Jesus before dinner. The southern Christians come off as ignorant buffoons, and the figure of Jesus is a symbol ripe for condescending mockery.

It is simply outrageous and unfair to portray anyone associated with NASCAR as buffoonish or to mock their morality.

Not satisfied with simply ridiculing Southern Christians, Ferrell & Co. also feel the need to introduce sexual deviants into their script:

Of course, ridicule of the Bible Belt and white Christian men wouldn't be complete without a homosexual character who comes to challenge the movie's stupid southern protagonist. At the end of the film, the protagonist reconciles with his homosexual rival by planting a big wet kiss on his mouth.

But Ferrell isn't done assaulting traditional values even then. After the credits roll:

At the end, the movie shows the protagonist's mother reading a William Faulkner story to her two grandsons. The grandsons, who have been taught manners by their grandmother, discuss the meaning of the story with her. The grandmother explains the story is meant to generate both relief and sadness at the coming end of the ''Old South.'' ''Ah,'' replies one of the boys, ''moral ambiguity, the hallmark of 20th century American literature.''

And, naturally, we all know what that means:

In other words, this politically correct movie not only celebrates the ridicule of southern, white Christian males, it also ridicules Christianity's belief in moral absolutes. Apparently, Will Ferrell, who co-wrote the movie, is saying that anyone who believes in such moral absolutes, such as the biblical admonitions against fornication and homosexuality, or the moral superiority of Christianity, is an idiot.

"Talladega Nights" is a Hollywood propaganda piece intended to tear down southern Christians. It's so reprehensible that private anti-Semitism pales in comparison:

As reprehensible as they are, Mel Gibson's comments were said in private, during a drunken confrontation with a police officer. ''Talladega Nights'' however, is a public work that will be shown in theaters throughout the United States and the whole world, to millions of moviegoers.

Mel Gibson can always claim that it was the booze talking through him the other night. The question arises, however, what are Will Ferrell and Hollywood's excuses for making and distributing this awful Christophobic movie? And, does anybody in Hollywood care?

The Midwestern Gentleman cares, WorldNetDaily. He will subject himself to this piece of filth this weekend, accompanied by a large Sprite and Twizzlers, in order to know the face of the enemy. Will Ferrell, you're on notice!
