I am supposed to assume that the descriptions of the episode were inaccurate, I guess. Don't give me that nonsense that one cannot criticize a film or book that one has not read or seen, not unless the author is capable of presenting the idea with some delicacy. It is the idea that I find offensive. Faulkner once characterized this sort of approach by saying that he first came up with an ofensive idea, like raping a woman with a corncob and then built from there. What these guys do--and I HAVE seen some of their stuff-- is mostly crud, not rising to the level of Monty Python.

You're the one who asked that we not bring up episodes you haven't seen. Now, are you going to tell me how the Virgin Mary was offended, or are you going to talk about my mother or the flag or apple pie?
