[Cubs Fan]

they should change their name to cowardly central

[dumpthelibs]

Agreed. This is beyond recovery and now it is just choosing which side you want to on when the sh*t hits the fan.

[RichardMoore]

You don’t watch that channel? Well, unless you’re a Neilson family it doesn’t matter, you’re paying them thru your cable or satellite outlet. Don’t you think it’s time we all just pulled the plug on these creeps? Is God going to forgive you for lining their pockets while they spew their garbage. It’s not like this is the only offensive nonsense on the tube.

[Caipirabob]

It will get the ratings it deserves, without any heavenly intervention.

[a fool in paradise]

Viacom’s bigotry and hypocrisy is in plain sight.

Boycott everything Viacom owns:

Simon & Schuster is also owned by Viacom through different companies:

n 1998, Viacom sold the S&S educational, professional, and reference units to Pearson PLC. In 2002, Simon & Schuster was integrated with the Paramount motion picture and television studios as part of the Viacom Entertainment Group, and in 2004 direct oversight of the company returned to Viacom corporate headquarters.

In 2006, with the separation of Viacom and CBS into unique publicly traded companies, Simon & Schuster became a part of the CBS Corporation.

As a major international publishing company, many Simon & Schuster titles are published globally, and its products — hardcovers, trade and mass market paperbacks, children’s books for all age and reading levels, novelty formats, audiobooks (both compact disk and digital downloads) and ebooks of bestselling and critically acclaimed fiction and nonfiction for readers of all ages and every conceivable taste — are distributed in more than 100 countries around the world.

And CBS/Viacom have an intertwined history:

Galatians 6:7 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.

[cameraeye]

The back of my neck just shivered. I'd like to see mohammed eat at a Jewish bakery and hang out with some Hasidics for tea. Everyone would love that show . We'll call it, Mo and the Jew”. Laughs all around

[metmom]

The last days are here. Get right or get left.

So true.

You should make that your tagline.

[Frantzie]

The public is so stupid. Keep paying for TV and keep watching it - you are enpowering Obama and the left.

[metmom]

LOL!!!

[Frantzie]

Where is the Mohammed show?

[PLD]

We were part of the Neilson family at one time..Never again!!!

I never thought of what you said ,but you are right after remember how the Neilson rating went..

I didn't say it was the most offensive thing on the tube,I just do not watch those filthy things either..I watch little TV..

[wild74]

That is no big deal to me, they can portray Jesus in anyway they want. If people actually believe that Jesus is this way it might make them ask some questions. Of course those who get their news from this station probably don’t know much about Jesus. Comedy Central and just about all Hollywood is hypocrites anyhow when it comes to Christianity in general and Muslims in particular.

[cranked]

Hilarious they can make a Jesus Christ cartoon but are a bunch of ball-less people when it comes to making a Mohammad cartoon........=.=

[RichardMoore]

That’s good to hear. But it is like sugar, it’s a drug and until you go cold turkey you remain part of the problem. Years ago I read about a practice in Japan of using subliminal messages in TV and of course it has been banned , but...with the new crowd of arrogant b**t8ds in control the sky’s the limit for them. And I don’t think we should be paying Ted Turner or any of those people any of our money.

"In general, comedy in purist form always makes some people uncomfortable," said Comedy Central's head of original programming Kent Alterman

And we will keep doing it UNLESS YOU THREATEN TO BLOW US UP

[massmike]

....but Esposito scores on the rebound!

[RnMomof7]

Exactly..

[wardaddy]

What is the religious identity of who runs or owns Comedy Central?

[Prospero]

Warning! This show is NOT being produced by Matt Stone and Trey Parker despite CC’s use of South Park’s version of Jesus to promote it

Let me guess... based on the scenario described, it sounds a lot like the SARC/ Thigh-slappingly funny /SARC insults to our Savior portrayed by Seth McFarland, e.g., "Family Guy," et.al.

"Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come." Matthew 12:32

If you're worried about having committed this, the so-called "unforgivable sin," you do well, though it is an all but sure sign that you have not. Those who are doomed for having ultimately blasphemed the Holy Spirit are usually the kinds of people who think nothing of reviling angelic majesties, lost souls tossed about in the dry winds, destined for the burn pile.

Because of our confidence, we should remind these people of the great danger they are in, and leave room for the vengeance of God, who makes clear He will repay.
