The skit originally aired during the Christoph Waltz episode of the show on February 16th and immediately caught the attention of the fundamentalist Christian group, American Family Association, and other religious blogs.
Sears released a statement to The Hollywood Reporter saying,
"We received customer feedback about our ads running on NBC.com and Hulu.com in
a rotation with other advertisers around the online rebroadcast of that
particular SNL episode. We informed customers that it wasn't supposed to
happen, and while going forward we may advertise on the broadcast, we've taken
steps to ensure that our commercials do not air online exactly as they did in
this situation."
The American Family Association issued a press release
saying that both Sears and JCPenney had pulled their ads entirely from the show
but an insider denied the claim to E! News.
"Djesus Uncrossed" is a parody of Django Unchained
featuring a resurrected Jesus Christ on a quest for revenge.
