I'm boycotting Lucifer because it looks shitty, and Olive Garden because it is shitty.

Yeah same here.
That promo picture is amazing the olive garden logo makes it so good.

Guys, the only way we can rid this world of "One Million Moms" is if we turn their own message against them. Everybody go have dinner at Olive Garden, then come home to watch Lucifer.

It's a FOX show; they couldn't just wait for natural selection?

Blasphemy is a victimless crime. There's literally nothing to offend by it.

 

[ROUGE_BLOCK]

Isnt this that show based on the comic that got butchered as procedural cop drama 25678?

One Million Dumb Ass Moms

SIGH

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

Surprised that the pilot was actually pretty good, despite not having anything to do with the source material story.

 

[Carlisle]

So Olive Garden breadsticks or Hell...

Where in Downtown Houston? Never seen it.

Well, actually its off of I-10, between the beltway and Memorial City Mall. But that doesn't sound as catchy.

 

[dead souls]

Not watching Lucifer and not eating at Olive Garden?

Just proves that even an odious group like this occasionally makes the right decision, even if it is for the wrong reasons.

 

[Trigonometrize.]

When I was younger I called OG's breadsticks "Jesus bread" for some reason.

It comes full circle.

 

[TemplaerDude]

I wonder what hypocritically sinful lives these "million moms" lead.

 

[TraBuch]

The show is fine for what it is, a procedural that doesn't take itself too seriously. As an adaptation, I'm sure it's complete shit, but I've never read the comics so that means nothing to me. I like to space out my "serious" shows with the occasional fun procedural and this'll fill the void left by Forever. Sometimes you just wanna sit back and relax and watch a show you don't have to think too hard about.

 

[EatinOlives]

I've been "boycotting" Olive Garden for years now because their food sucks.

At first I thought this was completely stupid, but then I tried to put myself in their mindset. Like, what if someone tried to make a show where Hitler was the good guy and he was just misunderstood and not really evil? I'd probably find that pretty offensive and not really want to support companies who proudly supported such an endeavor. And that's what it seems like to these people, since they truly believe that Lucifer is real and pure evil.

Whereas for many of us, since we consider Lucifer to already be fictional, this would be more like writing a story where Dracula is the good guy and misunderstood. And that's why we don't really have a problem with it.

I still find the whole thing silly because I generally find religion silly, but I can at least sort of understand where they're coming from.

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

bye felicia(s)?

Spoiler

aren't there better reasons to boycott Olive Garden? Like quality?

Good Point. One can respect the view of his enemy while not supporting his aim. I would never watch a show that glorified evil, fictional or otherwise but I hate all horror and scary movies so I'm in the minority here. You know "the greatest trick..."


Also the cat from Cinderella was named Lucifer and he was evil so there's that too.

 

[BlackLagoon]

So is the show any good?

I found the first episode quite entertaining. It's basically Castle with more Satan.

 

[WaffleTaco]

So why do people hate Olive Garden and why is it shitty?

Also I think it is kind of dumb to boycott a restaurant, or name your group one million moms.

The breadsticks and salad are legit, but everything else is generally low quality/frozen and most importantly greatly overpriced.

Oh no, please not my spirit! For the love of <insert deity> don't corrupt my spirit!

 

[Instro]

So is the show any good?

Depends if you were watching as a fan of the comics, or just want to watch a decent TV show. Presumably it's shit for the former(I have no knowledge of the comics here), but seems ok(so far) for the latter. It's pretty unfortunate that FOX got their claws on this one, and turned it into another procedural drama. I do like Tom Ellis though, and the show seems fun enough so I'll stick with it a little while at least.

 

[BladeoftheImmortal]

This is the.one.based off of the sandman Lucifer, correct? I still need to read it all.

 

[Dash_Riprock]

I don't know what's funnier: That someone is boycotting this show, or that Olive Garden of all places sponsored it.

 

[Blastoise]

God I love everything about this image

Looks like the kind of guy who would roofie your drink. I'm with the mummys on this one.

Smart post

 

[GillianSeed79]

There are plenty of other sensible reasons to boycott Olive Garden other than some stupid moral outrage over the sponsorship of a television show about the Devil - namely that Olive Garden serves shitty Italian food. If you are eating Italian food at a chain restaurant like Olive Garden, you are doing it wrong.

 

[Gr1mLock]

Everyone needs a cause i guess.

 

[Zaventem]

Reading this site they're so uptight over every little thing. "Adult Swim is obviously not a family network and this program airs later in the evening when children should be asleep, but that is no excuse. Adult Swim has crossed the line by belittling the Christian religion with foul jokes." Sometimes i forget people like this exist.

 

[boiled goose]

How do they know that the devil is the bad one and God is the good one?

 

[Moff]

shouldn't they be boycotting fox as well?
but something tells me people concerned about this are the audience of fox news

 

[Aselith]

Did they protest when Supernatural did it a few years ago?

No because nobody knows what's going on on the CW. Might as well ask about the book that was only published in the middle of the Sahara.

 

[UnrealEck]

I still don't know what 'spiritual' means.

 

[BriGuy]

"Lucifer Morningstar?"

Why not go with Satan McDevil if you're going to be that transparent. Or maybe Ollie Garden would be more fitting in this case.

 

[Busty]

You can't buy publicity like this.

I imagine Fox is ecstatic.

To be full of a spirit such as Gin or what have you.

In the show, he's not disguising who he is. In the commercials I saw, he tells everyone straight up. Which of course no one believes.

overpriced for everything except for soup/breadsicks/salad

 

[kinggroin]

Gay homos can marry, the president is a Black, and the Devil is openly celebrated on national TV, and you're asking why get outraged????? This once great nation is truly doomed.

I think gay homos is redundant

 

[spekkeh]

Not Lucifer, but One Million Moms is making the devil look cool.

Fox must be ecstatic with this free advertisement.

 

[Doug Heffernan]

Moms hate Satan, don't you know?

 

[teruterubozu]

Let's boycott Olive Garden, but noooooooo not Rupert Murdoch and Fox!

 

[Timedog]

One Million Moms unfulfilled by their dreadful existence, and whose anger outlets are a feedback loop sustaining the semi-conscious acceptance of their own mediocrity.
