Summary *Coarse Language, Adult Themes and Sexual References*John has decided that Judaism is to blame for his failed interfaith relationships. He decides to explore another religion, and his research leads him to a branch of Christianity that really speaks to him - Christian Domestic Discipline.Accompanied by infuriating ex-girlfriend Kristen, John zips off to Montgomery, Alabama in the United States where he is taught the art of biblical spanking.Encouraged by his foray outside of Judaism, John discovers that famous atheist Richard Dawkins recommends Star Trek philosophy as a substitute for religion. So John rambles off to Los Angeles to spend time with some Trekkies. His interest is further aroused when he discovers that Star Trek philosophy embraces cross cultural love. John celebrates in the belief that Star Trek will finally allow him to pursue his Eurasian fancy, but his bubble is burst by ex-girlfriend Michelle telling him that he is embarrassing himself. "How would you feel if you were ogled simply because you were Asian?" Michelle demands.To stop embarrassing himself any further, John decides to step into the shoes of an Asian woman. He sets off to Thailand where the people at Tiffany's Ladyboy Show help to transform him into an Asian woman, based on a photo of his Eurasian ex, Deborah. The bizarre transformation causes a good deal of emotional confusion for the already unstable John, but this doesn't hinder his quest. Deborah/John ends up on a date with a very tactile man and the night quickly degenerates into drunken, libidinous soul-searching madness.PRODUCTION DETAILS:Produced and developed by Princess Pictures in association with ABC TV.
