 Whilst even the humorous portrayals of God are rarely irreverent, portraying God is not without controversy.The animated television series "God, the Devil and Bob" portrayed God as being a beer-swilling, ex-hippie character who closely resembled The Grateful Dead guitarist Jerry Garcia, which raised objections from fundamentalist Christian groups in the United States, causing the show to be pulled from broadcasting in the United States after just 3 episodes (although the entire series was broadcast in the United Kingdom).One of the last films that British activist Mary Whitehouse campaigned against was Irvine Welsh's "The Granton Star Cause", which portrayed God as drunken and abusive.
