Comedian Makes Lighthearted Jab at Jesus

A2K's been my gosh for a long time now.

since this is a legitimate concern and not a load of hypocrisy and ridiculousness (among a load of other things) it'll be nice to see all those "suck it, every non-christian on the planet" sites on the internet disappear.

jack chick will finally be dead and forgotten, praise the lord.

Sort of reminds me of the time Roseanne sang the National Anthem at a ball game.

Non-christian sites won't go anywhere.

Yeah, that's a much better idea than just turning the other cheek and donating the money to charity. Too bad Jesus didn't have these guys doing his P.R. 2000 years ago.

this is one time I wish I had a tv hooked up to cable.. or even some friggin rabbit ears.

nah, don't feel bad, kathy griffin is "d-list" for a good reason. as humor goes, she's more like peter griffin, with a nice face and body- i'll give her that.

and peter griffin is just a bit more edgy.

You are all going to hell.

All of you.

We shall have plenty of company.

I thought it was low class, and not funny. And I've paid money to see her perform live, so my opinion isn't totally uninformed about her. I used to be a fan.

I liked her before this, but now I REALLY like her. She's playing all these stupid assh*les for the fools that they are, and in return, they are lining her pockets for her. I love the irony of this, which I'm sure is lost on most of the people who are so upset about it that they would take out ads against her. I hope she planned it to go this way from the beginning.

Yay, Kathy!

I can't say I was ever a fan, but the American and Australian sense of humour as are far apart as our countries, so it's not really surprising.

I didn't see the remark as particularly jocular. However, it was not so terrible as to get everybody's underwear in a knot. To me, the humor is watching people's reactions.

So, it was "lighthearted", but not "jocular"?

Yo, Gene Siskal, slow down for us plebeians.

What he means is, when it comes to underwear, it is much easier to tie one's jocular into a knot than, lets say, one's boxers.

Jesus has nothing to do with this post. Suck it, Jesus!

How about the next time some piece of **** musician who sings about objectifying women and doing drugs accepts an award, and thanks jesus the christian groups take out their 90,000 dollar ads to protest the individual.

Thank you for this award

What I find a joke on ourselves is that we happily insult peoples religion from our own (dominant in this country) culture, but can be called any of the following : racist, intolerant, hate mongerers (okay, so I made that up), troublemakers, or ignorant if we insult Allah, Islam, Hinduism etc.

It seems to be an extension of the general Western world view of doing away with our cultural icons that may offend 'other' religions (other because Christianity apparently doesn't count in this worldview), but letting 'other' religions and people keep all their culture / icons.

As for 'suck it Jesus' and like 'jokes', it's sad really, that we can make fun of something that deeply offends others and brush it off as their problem.

Of course, certain denominations of Christianity also deeply offend people by knocking on their doors uninvited and preaching to them uninvited.

It's one thing to call a particular religion down for the acts of a minority, but quite another to resist a religion that permeates the whole of your culture and is in your face on every level, every single day.
