The Britney Spears episode of Will and Grace has been cancelled due to Christian protests according to this report<\/a>.
\nI find it amazing that the term “Cruci-fixins” has been used so much since 1991! I had never heard it until now. It is really disgusting how they can make fun of such a slow and agonizing death.<\/p>\n

It was first used on the oddball comedy “Arrested Development,” when one of the characters quipped: “I think I’m going to go get one of those ‘Corndog Crosses’ — with all the ‘Crucifixins'”
\n“The Simpsons” cartoon also used the term in an episode that described a church ice cream social led by a character called Rev. Lovejoy. Lovejoy offered “Crucifixins,” with flavors like “Blessed Virgin Berry,” “Commandmint,” and “Biblegum.”
\nAs far back as 1991, the term popped up in Advertising Age magazine, as part of an entry for a lighthearted contest to predict McDonald’s next slogan intended to “pack in the pilgrims” at its new location in Lourdes. “Try our new Crucifixin’s Bar” won an “honorable intention” award. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
