Right. I'm talking only of FR here.
This place hasn't been the same since.

Catholic League president Bill Donohue remarked today about last night’s episode of “South Park” (it will run again for the next three nights):
“A ‘South Park’ character gets a DWI and is ordered to attend AA meetings. Told about the 12-step program, he concludes that he needs a miracle to cure him. The plot then focuses on a statue of the Virgin Mary who is ‘bleeding out her ass.’ The Vatican dispatches a cardinal to investigate and he is sprayed with blood when he walks behind the statue. He then declares this to be a miracle, which draws even more people. The alcoholic, now in a wheelchair, is also sprayed with blood: he then claims he is cured and jumps out of his seat.
“Pope Benedict XVI goes to investigate. He, too, is sprayed with blood when he walks behind the statue. A reporter says, ‘The pope investigated further and determined that the statue was not bleeding out its ass, but its vagina.’ To which the pope replies: ‘A chick bleeding out her vagina is no miracle. Chicks bleed out their vaginas all the time.’
“Comedy Central is a subsidiary of MTV, which is owned by Viacom. On the board of directors of Viacom is a practicing Catholic and a distinguished public servant, Joseph A. Califano; he served under Presidents Johnson and Carter. We are writing to him today requesting that he intervene in this matter. We want a) an apology to Roman Catholics and b) a pledge that this episode be permanently retired and not be made available on DVD. In the event Viacom does not cooperate, we are asking Mr. Califano to issue his own statement of condemnation. We are asking our members to contact him as well. Remember, they chose to insult Our Blessed Mother on the eve of the Immaculate Conception, and the holy day itself.
“Joseph A. Califano is chairman of the board of The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse. He can be reached at CASA, 633 Third Avenue, NY, NY 10017; phone, 212-841-5200; fax, 212-956-8020; email, employment@casacolumbia.org.”
That's because you're smart. :~D I don't think they do either.
You mean that episode on FreeRepublic, not the Terri Schiavo episode on South Park, right?
See, I am so new to South Park, I have not yet seen the FR episode, or the Terri Schiavo episode...I have years of South Park to catch up on...
By the way, thanks for calling me smart...I believe that is the first time anyone on FR ever called me that..I have been called many other things, but never 'smart'...thanks...
Right. I'm talking only of FR here.
This place hasn't been the same since.
I'd agree that it was an ugly time here.
We lost some posters that I miss.
Luckily there are lots of opportunities for re-runs.
And your posts are always smart, articulate and on point.
:~D
The Scientology episode this season proved that. Didn't it end with Stan saying, "Sue me" to the Scientologists. And the John Doe and Jane Doe credits ... ROFLOL. Such a shame the season is already over.
Thanks about my posts...yes, indeed there is a wealth of reruns on TV...everynite on Channel 11, at 11pm, ,there are two episodes...and often the Comedy channel has reruns, so when I watch the reruns, they are like new to me...
My son has been watching South Park for years, and he did not realize that I had not been watching it all along...he was rather amused that I had only just found it...
I told the hubby, I bet our son buys me some CDs of South Park, for Christmas to get me up to speed...
I was going to suggest the season DVD's - we enjoy them a lot :~D
I just watched the tape of the show. I agree with you. It was a hilarious episode.
Oh - and BTW... it's perfectly acceptable... healthy even, if you have to turn to your hubby often and remind each other "This should not be seen by anyone :~D"
I always do get a kick out of that...of course, they know, by saying that, each and everyone of us is going to tune in...we are like children, tell us not to do something, and sure as anything, we will do it...
Yikes...cannot believe I said CDs, really meaning DVDs...my brain is rotting...
I wonder, If they lurk on FR?
Hey, Guys...a challenge. :P
7,195+ views on a chat thread, must be a record.
It is a cartoon. My faith in God rises above nonsense; I take offense to the ACLU, not cartoon imagery. I do not worship celluloid.
You think they trash Koran in upcomig South Park Hate to disagree with you if they Matt and Trey value their lives LOL! they won't
It easlier go after Saddam and Kim Jong 11
Just trying to get their attention of some self-important boobs. What makes you think that Christians are pacificists?
If you don't know why Catholics respect Mary so much, then you obviously don't know that we believe that Jesus Christ is God.
As Marlon Brando has since died, that would be in poor taste.
