No I did not. Are you going to try to make the claim that I needed to seem blood spurting from the backside of a charicature of the Virgin Mary to comment?

Well, if you'd seen it you'd know, for instance, that the episode had a strongly conservative theme. The Mary stuff was only a small part near the end. In general the program was making fun of those who wallow in helpless victimhood when their problems are of the type that can be addressed with a modicum of self-discipline and by taking responsibility for their behavior.

Plot precise: A character drinks too much one night and gets a DUI citation. Although the character was not actually an alcoholic, he allows himself to be convinced that he is by an overzealous twelve-step junkie. The character (only then) starts drinking regularly and heavily, and averring that he is not responsible for his drunkenness because he has a "disease". He visits the Virgin Mary statue to cure himself of his "disease" (pushing in front of genuinely sick and crippled people in the line because his "disease" is more serious).
