Action by AFA Online supporters has cause NBC to pull the offensive segment scheduled for the April 6th episode of Will and Grace. In an attempt to confuse the public, the network issued an intentionally misleading statement which left the impression that AFA had lied to our supporters. Here is the statement NBC sent to their affiliates for the affiliate to use in responding to emails and calls:
Some erroneous information was mistakenly included in a press release describing an upcoming episode of “Will & Grace” which, in fact, has yet to be written. The reference to “Cruci-fxins” will not be in the show and the storyline will not contain a Christian characterization at all.NBC did not say that they (NBC) had issued the “erroneous information” but left the reader with the impression that AFA had issued the “erroneous information.” When NBC said that the script “has yet to be written,” what they didn’t tell you is that the “story board” had been completed and the offensive material was scheduled to be a part of the episode. The story board contains the outline of the program. That is the reason for the detailed description of the episode issued by NBC in their initial press release.

The bottom line is that the actions taken by AFA Online supporters like you caused them to rewrite the episode and remove the offensive segment! Thanks for caring enough to get involved.
