热门美剧《圣经故事》引争议：奥巴马意外撞脸“撒旦”

　　一部美剧开播，却没想到让美国总统“躺着也中枪”。在美国历史频道热播的迷你电视连续剧《圣经故事》17日播出了新的一集，“撒旦”角色第一次出现，观众发现其形象酷似美国总统奥巴马。

　　《圣经故事》在收视率上表现惊人，周三小系列的故事便吸引了1300万的观众，有数千人对扮演撒旦的演员欧扎尼(Mohamen Mehdi Ouazanni)与奥巴马酷似一事在社交网站平台上发表了评论：“有人发现《圣经故事》中的魔鬼与那个家伙(奥巴马)看起来很像吗？”

　　对此《圣经故事》制片人马克·博内特(Mark Burnett)称，社交网络上有关撒旦扮演者欧扎尼与奥巴马总统酷似的评论“完全没有意义”，在奥巴马当选总统前，欧扎尼就曾在其他圣经节目中扮演过撒旦。
