Subject: RE: BS: JC Makes a Bid for the US Presidency
I don't think it mocked Christian spirituality at all, at least not in any meaningful way that touches my experience as a Christian, and certainly mocked George Dubya and Ted Kennedy (admittedly, easy if deserving targets) more than anything else. If it mocks Jesus at all, it does so certainly a lot less than, say, South Park. Does it tweak Institutional Christianity (at least the Christian Right) a little bit? Yeah. And this is a bad thing?

That said, it was kinda funny. Not roll-on-the-floor hilarious, but kinda funny. Especially the Ted Kennedy "big fat naked man" bit.

What about it did ya find offensive about it, Meebs? (And may I just take this moment while I have the floor to say I got my tape this week too. I'm getting bits of it at at time in the van, the only tape player I'm around much right now, and am digging it--good Roddy McCorley, especially.)
