Veggie Tales Gets "Sliced and Diced"

Well it seems that NBC figured out that Veggie Tales is about God and not just about animated vegetables running around telling jokes. NBC has asked Veggie Tales creator, Phil Vischer, to edit a little more than he originally bargained for. What started out as asking that the Bible verse that gets displayed at the end of every episode be removed, has now transformed into the edict of removing all references to the Bible & God.

When I first heard of this news I thought that Phil had completely sold out to the producers at NBC. While I still have mixed feelings about the situation, I do know that God works in mysterious ways. Veggie Tales & 3-2-1 Penguins (both Big Idea productions) topped the ratings charts with their respective debuts. Maybe it will get people into the stores that sell the unedited versions of Veggie Tales...maybe it will create a buzz so gigantic that NBC will allow the unedited versions to be produced...who knows. With God at the steering wheel....the possibilites are infinite.
