The entertainment industry usually either ignores Christian audiences or treats them with a not so quiet contempt. This has given rise to a host of self created and financed Christian themed programming of often dubious quality.That brings us to "Thou shalt laugh". Looking to be for Christian audiences what the "Blue collar comedy tour" was for, well, Blue collar audiences, "Thou shalt laugh" is an overly long mish-mash of well meaning but often unfunny performers.Things get off to a decent start. The first two or three comedians are borderline funny, but after that it turns into a nightmarish amateur hour ending with what seems to be the "Headline act"... A man so unfunny that I imagine even his mother has thrown tomatoes at him... Oh, and did I mention he uses puppets? And one more gripe... For something touting itself as "Christian comedy", it's awfully secular. Most of the routines are simply G or PG, but are devoid of any specific spiritual content. Family friendly? Yes. Christian? No.Christians, like political conservatives and minorities, are shut out of the entertainment industry loop. It is therefore up to them to circumvent the system and create their own programming to prove to the Hollywood crowd that there's an audience out there that isn't being served. Unfortunately, "Thou shalt laugh" is proof that good intentions are not always enough.
