Cartoon Network Mocks Judaism & Christianity with "Bible Fight" Game (Couldn't do that to Muslims!)

My spouse was watching "Adult Swim" on the Cartoon Network this past week. They ran a commercial promoting their web site, complete with fun little games a visitor can play.

One particular game they promoted was called "Bible Fight". The video clip of the game they showed depicted an 2-D animated Jesus Christ "fighting" against his mother Mary and the baby Jesus.

Mary fought with kicks, and Jesus Christ used his cross to hack Mary and the baby Jesus up.

I couldn't find a good pic of that, but here is one of Jesus getting ready to fight "Noah" OR "Moses".:

Time Warner, Inc. owns and produces material like this.

Again you twist my words. I don't care about your meetings, I just used it as an illustration.

"Making so many enemies"

Name them, ping them. Let my trial begin.

"It also speaks to your character."

You called Jesus a liar, not me.

Well, I think we can all agree. Baby killers are bad.

Let’s celebrate our similarities!

I knew there would be a stink when I saw the commercial. Has anybody asked the Cartoon Network if they have a comparable Muslim game??

[Non-Sequitur]

You think this is bad then you’ve obviously never seen “South Park”.

[ahayes]

You admit again that you think King David and Jesus are liars.

Astounding.

So is it your position that David did not commit adultery and intentionally send the cuckolded man to certain death? Or did he do all that and it was just lying that was beyond him? *befuddled*

Let us imagine a game called "Koran Fight" where Mohammed is depicted chopping up and killing little babies and their moms....liberals and the press would be all over the corporation that created such a thing!

Is that really a fair comparison? However bad or stupid this "Bible Fight" may be it can be seen as an "a plague on both your houses" thing. They could fit the Muslims in as well, and probably they should have. But doesn't your example single out one group more than their's does?

I've been a fan of Adult Swim since they started up in 2001 but lately I am finding it hard to support them. Their comedy programming as a whole has been on a sharp decline in recent years, and it seems they waste their already minuscule budget on this kind of stuff

Agreed. About the only reason I watch Adult Swim to begin with is Futurama and Family Guy. Unfortunately, Seth McFarland has a bad habit of ruining episodes of Family Guy by mocking Christians as well, plus the overall quality of Family Guy has gone straight down the toilet in recent months.

As for the rest of the programming on Adult Swim, it can be described in two words - stupifying garbage. You'd be hard pressed to find programming anywhere else on the dial more banal, stupid, childish and ridiculous than the tripe that fills up Adult Swim.

I referenced his feigning madness to escape.

But you do bring up a good point, David was also far from blameless. The murder of Uriah and the census were his two biggies.

I emailed adult swim, and told them that if they're gonna be hip blasphemers and not include Mohammed, then they're just being chickensh!t and looking for an easy target.

Holy smoke! That page is now bookmarked!

[Recovering_Democrat]

Yes, it is a fair comparison.
