Sunday evening's episode of
the History Channel's hit series
'The Bible' threw up an
awkward coincidence when
viewers noticed that Satan
bore a remarkable
resemblance to President
Obama.
Twitter exploded into life during
the airing of the latest edition of
the Mark Burnett-produced
series with most noting the
striking similarities between the
44th President and the devil
played by actor Mehdi Ouzaani.
The show has been a surprise
hit in the ratings, with the
religious mini-series attracting
13.1 million viewers on
Wednesday - topping television
leviathan American Idol's 12.8
million viewers on Wednesday.
Right-wing commentator and
radio-host Glenn Beck first
pointed out the eerie similarity
on Saturday, tweeting, 'Anyone
else think the Devil in #TheBible
Sunday on History Channel looks
exactly like That Guy?'
Others were simply struck by the
clear physical match.
Twitter user @Leah Christie,
tweeted, 'Oh my word...watching
The History Channel's The
Bible..does Satan look familiar to
anyone else?'
While Matthew Gaudet
commented, 'Watching The Bible
series on the History channel
and noticed the guy playing the
role of Satan, looks strikingly
similar to Obama.'
