Ted Haggard (playing himself in The Waiting Game) - Hey Buddy, I wouldn't do that if I were you.

Ted Haggard Set to Appear in Christian Sex Comedy

by Elena Garcia, The Christian Post

COLORADO SPRINGS, CO - Haggard, who resigned from New Life Church in Colorado Spring following a drug and sex scandal in 2006, makes a cameo as himself in a film called The Waiting Game that promotes abstinence before marriage.

The movie is about a guy who saves himself for marriage but later becomes determined to lose his virginity after his fiance dumps him at the altar on their wedding day.

In one scene, the guy wrestles with his decision to stay abstinent and tells a friend over coffee that he no longer wants to wait until marriage to have sex.

"I'm so frustrated. You know what? I'm just going to do what I want to do anyways. It's not like it's going to wind up on the front page of the newspaper," he says.

Ted Haggard, who made headlines after the scandal, overhears their conversation from a nearby cafe table and interjects.

"Hey Buddy, I wouldn't do that if I were you," Haggard tells him.

The producers of the movie said they are taking cue from popular comedies and adapting them into something palatable for Christian audiences.
