German Public Broadcaster Replaces Jesus Christ with Easter Bunny
A German satire TV recreated the Passion of Jesus Christ with a crucified Easter plush bunny in lieu of Jesus. Photomontages included the toy animal, among other things, on the cross and sitting among the Apostles for the Last Supper. The Christian Media Association KEP immediately filed a complaint to the broadcaster saying that it made "the central religious content of Christianity literally a joke."
On April 6th the television presenter Olver Welke laughed during the satire “Heute Show” aired nightly by the German Public Broadcaster ZDF.
Several other individual complaints were also submitted to the public prosecutor in Mainz.
