Comedy Central might censor every image of the Prophet Muhammad on "South Park," yet the network is developing a whole animated series around Jesus Christ.
Jesus-south-park As part of the network's upfront presentation to advertisers (full slate here), the network is set to announce "JC," a half-hour show about Christ wanting to escape the shadow of his "powerful but apathetic father" and live a regular life in New York City.
In the show, God is preoccupied with playing video games while Christ, "the ultimate fish out of water," tries to adjust to life in the big city.
"In general, comedy in purist form always makes some people uncomfortable," said Comedy Central's head of original programming Kent Alterman.

“...They are so brave....”
Until they have to stand before THE MAN.
C’mon! Jesus wouldn’t give up rebounds...
And so I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.
Brave Sir Robin!
Evil scumbags! I didn’t check the comments, so this may have already been written, but we all notice that Comedy Central’s cowardice did them no good as that bomb in Times Sq. was set right near them.
I am positive that they will follow that up with a Mohammed cartoon in the following season, right?
right?
No?
True - but still, you know what they say: “It is easier for a camel to pass thru an eye of the needle then to get a shot past The Lord’s five-hole.”
These people are sick.
Sick, but oh so predictable.
Yes. Our culture has become so extreme that the ability to shock and so command attention has gone way over the edge.
Are they trying to appease the people who worship the prophet who can't be drawn?
So, they can ridicule God and Jesus but are too CS to talk about the a**hole allah and his fake prophet.
Silly Boys, Jesus doesn’t need a gun. He’s got armies from heaven and the sword of His mouth. People rarely talk about this description of the Lamb. It’s my favorite.
Rev 19:11+
11 I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war. 12 His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. 13 He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. 14 The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. 15 Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. “He will rule them with an iron scepter.” He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. 16 On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written:
KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun, who cried in a loud voice to all the birds flying in midair, “Come, gather together for the great supper of God, 18 so that you may eat the flesh of kings, generals, and mighty men, of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all people, free and slave, small and great.”
19 Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to make war against the rider on the horse and his army. 20 But the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who had performed the miraculous signs on his behalf. With these signs he had deluded those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped his image. The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur. 21 The rest of them were killed with the sword that came out of the mouth of the rider on the horse, and all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh.
right?
No?
Well, why would he be on his own show? So a certain rumor goes, he'll be Jesus's new wacky next-door neighbor, a lovable lout with a charming drinking problem, a knee-slapping addiction to pork rinds, and at least one unpredictably kinky sexual escapade in each episode.
No?
They should create his character using “Mr Garrison” as the template.
Very clever!
I missed this thread. Some entertaining replies here.
