A new reality television show, Duck Dynasty on the network A&E, has become an extremely popular hit with the public, taking the show’s rating to the top. There slogan which is branded on almost every merchandise item sold is three simple words faith, family, and ducks. The center of the slogan, faith soon brought forth controversy. The producers say that God comes up too much in the show and the Robertsons should consider focusing on their faith a lot less. However the family is very Christian based and make no bones about showing it on the show.
