Jesus Christ is ridiculed in a Musical Video Clip on TV Channel Telecinco and the Internet

On February 18th, 2006, Spanish TV Channel “Telecinco” transmitted the video clip “Jesus Christ The Musical” in its children-TV schedule programme “Visto y no visto”. The video, diffused though the Internet, shows Jesus Christ singing Gloria Gaynor’s “I will survive” and dancing around in the streets, until finally he is run over by a bus. Several Christian associations have formally complained, including the Spanish Evangelical Alliance.
