Spoiler ahead - American religious standards watchdog The Parents Television Council are once more up in arms over Buffy's portrayal of religion.

According to the Family News web site, the group is apparently up in arms over a sequence in the recent US episode Dirty Girls, where a character dresses as a priest and makes fun of the act of communion - suggesting what would happen if someone at the Last Supper wanted white wine, instead of red.

"We were pretty outraged," Melissa Caldwell of the PTC told Family News site. "In fact, the analyst that logs the show for us... was shaking, she was so upset about the content."

Caldwell said the anti-Christian bigotry was bad enough, but was made worse because it aired during Easter week.

The PTC has lodged a complaint with Buffy's producers, Mutant Enemy and the UPN network, which carries the series. So far, neither have responded.
