Christians Riot Over Cartoon, Take to the Streets!

When I had cable, I was a fairly regular watcher of "South Park". It was not PC toward anybody, even intolerant controlling Liberals that bitch and moan at every criticism, parody, or satire. If I had cable now, I would make a point of not watching it. I also watched less of the "Comedy" channel then, because comedians for the most part are not creative or funny. Personal relationships,sex,sex, personal relationship, sex sex sex. No insightful word play like Carlin, no social commentary like Mort Sahl, no quick one liners like Henny Youngman...you get the picture. Why sex sex sex is so allegedly funny, I don't get. I don't ever remember laughing while engaging in horizontal tantric entwining...but I digress.

A couple weeks or so ago, Comedy Central made "South Park" pull some stuff about Mohamed because it might make Muslims mad, and they might riot, or kill people, and other stuff those bad tempered, humor lacking, intolerant, bigoted people do when their founder even has a representation or likeness of any sort made. You know, 'do what I say you can do, or I kill you!' sort of thing.

Now the "edgy" Comedy Central crew (and they are because they tell us they are) have come up with a slanderous show to premier about Jesus. This is okay to them. The show is about Jesus living in New York City, trying to live his life outside of the influence of a “powerful but apathetic father”. In the show, God is apathetic because He's always playing video games. Jesus is a loser trying to adjust to life in the big city.

Comedy Central’s head of original programming Kent Alterman: “In general, comedy in purist form always makes some people uncomfortable.” Well gee, Kent, if that's true, why did you back down from a little light satire about Mohamed? You're only making a few people uncomfortable. We all know the answer. Kent and his staff, and the Management of Comedy Central, are cowards.

Christians are okay to mock. "Piss Christ" by Serrano. Penn and Teller wheeling a crucified Christ out on stage and "performing a sex act on Him". Imagine a "Piss Mohamed"? Or Mohammad having a, let's say, homosexual act, say 'teabagging' act, performed by him? Now the low life, cowardly, bottom dwelling, alleged comedians at Comedy Central try and save face, and show they are brave and being 'edgy' by mocking the religion of billions of people? People they know won't threaten anybody, cause no harm to anybody; won't go out, destroy property and kill people, just because they take offense at the merest slight. Because they know Christians are a tolerant group, and forgiving of a lot of idiocy and insults. That's because we Christians know we're part of something Universal, Loving, and True. We can afford to give a pass to this kind of thing.

If anything, Comedy Central should be more embarrassed by this than their cowardly submission to Islamofacists' threats.

Now this is funny!
