Satire has to offend. It’s value is to challenge beliefs and to change them or reinforce. It serves to instigate conversation on topics we choose to ignore. Often, the satirist ridicules his own beliefs to cause those who believe otherwise to question their own principles or lack of same. Get over it.

Bobby Schindler, Terri's brother, doesn't agree with you:
"In my opinion," he continued, "this is a form of hate speech. There's other ways to make people laugh. This certainly isn't one of them" --Bobby Schindler.
Instead of "Get[ting] over it," I'm sticking with Fr. Euteneuer when he refers to the episode as "satanic cultural trash." He should know. As I mentioned earlier in this thread, he's an exorcist.

Yep, if a guy calls himself an exorcist, he pretty much determines how thinking people should think. Never argue with an exorcist, that’s they way I’ve always lived my life....
