As with most of our vaunted entertainment media, they're happy to bash Catholics because we won't threaten to blow up their studios or call for their beheading.

Some might say that's something to be proud of. Part of being 'civilized'. And I don't think they bashed Catholics this time, really... It was a silly episode that asks a reasonable question.... What does an Easter bunny and colored eggs have to do with the Resurrection?

Donohue got this one spot on--the creators of SP are "whores and cowards."

If they did this "Mohammed rip" episode you want so badly, to try to make you love them, would you love them? One might say doing ~that~ would make them whores. As of now, they rip on things they actually have a funny opinion about. That doesn't make them whores, it makes them, well... free citizens.

What's funny about Mohammed? ...that his followers are nuts and they talk funny. That part, they've done. They made a movie about it. Lets see... That we can't show him in a cartoon. They satired that over a big two part episode, and said more about the topic than nearly anyone else.

I think the whole "yeah, they can laugh at this but not _________ is a straw man anyhow. You're not a fan, and even if they did what you want, you wouldn't be a fan. So why the heck should they care what you think?

I don't want them to do a show ripping Islam. I'd want them to stop ripping Catholicism. If they're going to be "sensitive" about the one, they could be equally sensitive about the other. The fact that they don't rip Islam equally means that they're not "equal opportunity offenders" as some of their apologists claim. They're afraid that if they do, they'll lose the cushy gig they've got now and maybe have their lives threatened. They feel no fear of that when they bash Catholics. When you hit a guy that doesn't hit back, you're a coward. I'm glad that guys like Bill Donahue are starting to hit them back in a civilized way.

And no, I won't be a fan of the show no matter what they do. The show is for adolescents and those who are older but failed to mature beyond adolescence. There are plenty of this type in our society who never bothered to put away childish things. Such people will never know the joys of life beyond potty humor.
