Uniontown Music 'Church' Objects To 'Daily Show' Clip

Attorneys for a western Pennsylvania church whose services consist of rock and jazz concerts don't want jurors to see a humorous report from "The Daily Show" when its religious freedom lawsuit goes to trial next month.

Attorneys for the Church of Universal Love and Music say the four-minute bit featuring church founder William Pritts is edited to suit the comedy show's agenda and isn't "remotely relevant" to the serious religious issues in the case.

A federal judge hasn't ruled on the issue. Pritts wants $1 million in damages from Fayette County officials for denying zoning exceptions that prevent concerts.

The county says Pritts started holding the concerts in 2002 and only claimed to run a church after he ran afoul of zoning rules.
