"You have heard the blasphemy. What do you think?"
The Washington Post asked in their On Faith section on April 22nd “South Park: comedy or blasphemy?” But why does the WaPo think insist on creating this false dilemma, when blasphemy is often pretty GOD DAMN funny?
Comedy is invaluable in its ability to influence thought and discourse, to make people look more closely and think more deeply about themselves and the world. It reminds us not to take everything so GOD DAMN seriously. Because the idea that alien souls inhabit our bodies, or that our grand parents may come back to life as dung beetles, or that Jesus perpetually turns himself into crackers to be cannibalized, well...these ideas are worth a closer look, aren't they?
And, historically, the best way to inspire a nation to look closer at something is to point out how GOD DAMN retarded it is. Comedy Central knows this (see: The Daily Show) and used to encourage South Park in their efforts to stir controversies.
Now they're censoring themselves vigorously to appease a minority of people with a colossal stick crammed up their extremist asses.
Because at Comedy Central, the demands of religious extremism are more important than the integrity of their content, or the desires of their viewers.
But at Jeez-Its? Radical Islam and Muhammad can go fuck themselves.
Here is Muhammad in his pretty, pretty dress.
Jeez-Its HATES MGMT!
TRANSCRIPTION:
HERE IS A QUESTION: WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU ALIVE? THERE IS A SHOW ABOUT YOU ON THE DISCOVERY CHANNEL AND IT IS CALLED, "I SHOULDN'T BE ALIVE". THAT'S YOUR FUCKING LIFE STORY. YOU ARE THE RIGHT WING'S WORST NIGHTMARE: THE IRON-CLAD ARGUMENT FOR WHY ABORTION IS FUCKING NECESSARY. I JUST WATCHED YOU "PERFORM" ON SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE WITH YOUR IRONIC FUCKING BUDDY HOLLY GLASSES AND BOW TIE AND THRIFT STORE CLOTHES. I COULD SMELL THE PABST BLUE RIBBON DRIPPING DOWN YOUR INSIPID LITTLE SCENESTER THROATS. SERIOUSLY. YOU GUYS ARE THE WORST GOD DAMN BAND ON THE PLANET. I WAS TRYING TO THINK OF A WORSE SNL MUSICAL GUEST AND GOT STUCK ON VAMPIRE WEEKEND. REALLY, YOU GUYS ARE WORSE. BANGING YOUR INSTRUMENTS AND NAME-DROPPING BRIAN ENO IS ABOUT AS COOL AS FUCKING RECTAL CANCER. AT THE SAME TIME, BETWEEN YOU AND VAMPIRE WEEKEND, IT'S LIKE SOPHIE'S CHOICE IN REVERSE -- YOU BOTH SHOULD DIE. SOPHIE SHOULD KICK YOU TO THE GROUND AND THEN PISS ON YOU AND THEN LIGHT YOU ON FIRE. FUCKING LAUGH ABOUT IT. BECAUSE YOU SUCK THAT BAD. JESUS COULD WALK BY WITH A FUCKING FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND THEN BE LIKE "WELL, ISN'T THAT THAT BAND FROM SNL? I MEAN, COME ON." AND KEEP FUCKING WALKING. I WANT TO KICK YOU IN THE FUCKING THROAT. BUT FIRST I'D TAKE OFF THE FAGGY BOW TIE YOU FUCKING...FUCK!!!!!!1111

Are We Using the Royal We?
The Pope said in his homily on Thursday, “I must say, we Christians, even in recent times, have often avoided the word 'repent', which seemed too tough. But now under attack from the world, which has been telling us about our sins ... we realize that it's necessary to repent, in other words, recognize what is wrong in our lives.”
And Ratzy’s right, “repent” is a tough word. It connotes the admission of guilt and responsibility for one’s actions, to be penitent and strive to change one’s ways. Wait . . . what? Apparently that’s not correct. Because the Pope says that repent means to “recognize what is wrong in our lives.”
Furthermore, the Pope isn’t as worried about contrition as he is about opening “ourselves to forgiveness” and “divine mercy.” But just in case forgiveness is slow in coming, he’s written himself (and presumably all of Christianity for which he speaks) an insurance policy. On the Vatican website, he claimed that there was a long-standing church policy to report abuse to civilian authorities to pursue according to the local laws. This is in direct contradiction with an earlier papal letter that was revealed last year that threatened excommunication to any priest that attempted to report child abuse to the police.
Presumably, it was Pope Benedict’s “repentance” that spurred this latest incidence of attempted revision of history. He finally recognized how guilty he was and decided to write himself out of responsibility for his voluminous crimes.
We are not amused.
