South Park is a satire show that takes on anything and everything without regard to political correctness. Crude yes, but so were many of the great satires, read Plautus or Chaucer and you will see the same earthy humor being used to lampoon those who take themselves too seriously.

As for this episode, I'm Catholic and I was not in the least offended. The actual satire was on the Da Vinci Code movie which many people have actually taken seriously.

I haven't seen this episode yet, but I remember the uproar about the bleeding statue of Mary. As a Catholic I wasn't offended about it, but that may be because it took a well deserved shot at what I feel is a little too much idolotry in the Church.

Well no wonder it wasn't funny. I guess this was a show for non-Christians who are likely to have seen that work of fiction.

To me, the whole premise they continually use in having Jesus look like the underdog (He's not) only to pull the metaphoric rug out from under the latest hypocrite (see tagline) in the writers' eyes is played out. The boys' pov is deserted earlier and earlier in each show.

I wasn’t offended, although Bill Donahue has never said anything that would remotely make this particular satire believable in any way. It’s usually the satire that has truth to it that hurts. Otherwise it’s just silly.
