An Auckland priest has failed in his bid to bring blasphemy charges against CanWest, but the fight is not over yet.
Father Denzil Meuli complained to police over the Bloody Mary South Park episode, screened on TV channel C4.
The episode caused outrage in the Catholic Church, after it showed the Pope and a menstruating statue of the Virgin Mary.
But the Solicitor-General has said no to taking a criminal prosecution against the broadcaster.
Father Meuli is taking the rejection well and says there are a couple of other initiatives he is looking at pursuing.
But he says apart from praying there will be no further action until he has had a chance to ponder the options.
Father Meuli says he could take a civil case against CanWest, but that would take a lot of consideration.
He says he has received wide support for his stand against the programme.
.Not at all! It's just that....it's Sunday evening Stateside, right? So I assume most FR 'South Park' fans aren't online, right now.
(Probably, cycling back from McDonalds, their handlebar tassles gaily streaming in the breeze.)
My goodness! Who'd have guessed people could become so upset over a cartoon? Go to your rooms!
But mmmmooooooommmmmm
Admittedly, no.
I reached puberty *before* that show hit the airwaves.
You might be surprised how many of the mom's love SP too!!
Cartman: Doodoo doot doo, dadadadada daa, ya da dadaa
Doodoo doot doo, dadada daa, heydy heydy heydy, how's it goin', guys?
Kyle: What the hell are you so happy about, fatass?! [Cartman gets off his bike]
Cartman: [coolly] Oh, nothing. No big deal, really.
Stan: What's no big deal?
Cartman: Well, guys, it seems that I am the first one of us to reach manhood after all.
Kyle: ...What the hell are you talking about?!
Cartman: Well, becuase, unlike you guys, I just got my first pubes! Ayada da daa, yadadadadee! [dances]
Yep. Just once, I'd like to see them have the balls to take on muslims, scientologists or hollywood.
LOL
Should be easy to find them. Every writer and producer is named either John Doe or Jane Doe.
....... or those dam Crab people
Damned hippies.
Haw haw! An undeniable yuk-fest.
(I was careful to miss it, but your awesome descriptive powers make me feel I was *right there.*)
HA! LOL! :D
...and besides, I can make-up my own bed...mother doesn't have to. :^)
Please do! I know you're big enough and ugly enough to take care of yourself, but be careful? A good fallback option might be to attend with a digital camera, and take pics of the assorted moonbats at the march, a la Zombie
It's not the menstruation, it's about mocking something that's an element of Catholic beliefs. If you think there wasn't outrage over the the molestations, you're sadly mistaken.
So...you've only met gay Aussies? Quite a....coincidence, there.
Nonetheless glad to have you on FR, Mike, as proof of our all-welcoming diversity and tolerance!
wow, I can see you're a REAL genius....
Glad to see FR is still attracting the likes of you....
And have fun suing South Park all you want. Thankfully the US has something called FREE SPEECH.
I guess the Aussies never figured that out.
The Aussies have a sense of humor, it's the wahabi christians that struggle with that concept.
And ugly? Moi? Why I'm hurt my friend.
It's a dead bang lead pipe cinch that if I go, Mr. Kodak will be right there with me.
I've got to clear a couple things from my schedule but I'm really hoping I can make it.
I love the pics from Zombie. It's good to see the face of the Enemy revealed in all it's glory ain't it. Why do those people always have to be so...well...just plain butt ugly?
