Lots of folks are presuming that P&T were intending to insult their audience's beliefs, or insult Jesus. From all I know of them, I don't think that's the case. They do, however, enjoy "going over the edge" in order to shock, but the intent is more like playing the fools instead of thumbing their noses.

To say that their "act" was not intended to insult Jesus Christ or peoples' faith in him must be a conscious lie. How can you say that? If they made themselves look like your mother or someone else dear to you, and did that same shtick, would you still say it was not intended to insult your mother or your feelings toward her?

This kind of disgusting obscenity in the name of "art" or "humor" makes me want to be very very sick. People who think it's funny or harmless are just accessories.

With the oral sex act in the show, it is doubtful that they would ever pull anything that approaches this on tv. Doubtful that they'd try to top this for blasphemy but they might.

That said, the press seems to be unusually silent on this. Consider the fraternity parties that have a "jungle" theme with kids in blackface. Those people get called on the carpet for their actions and their mugs shown on tv and in papers everywhere.

Is stupity/intolerance only permitted when someone is a celebrity?
