what is the world cumming to?...

that episode sucked anyway

The episode in question featured a statue of the Virgin Mary spraying blood from her vagina.

Yep.

I haven't seen that episode, but it does sound like it was in extremely bad taste.

That being said, a big part of what makes South Park so great is that they aren't afraid to insult any and every person and organization on the planet.

Why does this asshole have to take it so personally?

“In our December 8 news release, I also said, ‘Remember, they chose to insult Our Blessed Mother on the eve of the Immaculate Conception, and the holy day itself.’

He makes it sound like they personally insulted his natural birth mother. :icon27:

Change the channel. There are still a lot of people out there who DO want to watch it.

“Already, we are being deluged with hate mail that is as obscene as it is viciously anti-Catholic. All because we exercised our First Amendment right to request that Comedy Central not offend Catholics again! But we’re used to such things and will not be deterred.”

I think it's really disgusting to hear someone quote the First Amendment as a tool for silencing the free speech of others. That's the true blasphemy right there.

This is the part that kills me:

It was one of the most vile TV shows ever to appear, and that is why I asked Joseph Califano, a practicing Catholic and member of Viacom’s board of directors (Viacom is the parent company of Comedy Central) to issue a public condemnation of the ‘Bloody Mary’ episode; I also asked that he do whatever he could to pull any scheduled reruns of the episode.

Life is good when you have puppets on the top.

so, when does the torrent start?

sweeet
