Britney Spears' planned appearance on hit TV show "Will & Grace" has produced anger from Christian campaigners, The American Family Association (AFA).


The Mississippi-based group are asking for the episode to be cancelled, as they are not at all happy with the storyline that will present the pop babe Britney Spears starring as a TV host for a program named "Cruci-fixin's".


The AFA insists the show "mocks the crucifixion of Christ" and believes the chosen day, April 13, for the episode to be broadcasted is another fact that "further denigrates Christianity". April 13 is the eve of Christian celebration day, Good Friday.


The group's protests last month lead to the cancellation of NBC's "The Book Of Daniel", which featured a drug-taking priest. "NBC is clearly mocking the Christian faith. I think they are smarting from the Book Of Daniel defeat that they suffered, and this is their way to get even," AFA founder Don Wildmon states.


NBC issued a statement in defense of the accusations, claiming that the role of Britney Spears has yet to be determined: "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."
