'The Wanda Sykes Show' Depicts Jesus Threatening to Give Tiger Woods 'Crabs'

The week-old story of Brit Hume's Christianity vs. Buddhism remarks is apparently still fodder for a good laugh, and comedienne Wanda Sykes attempted to squeeze out one more. The late-night talk show host arguably stepped over the line with a skit this week when she jokingly entertained ‘the notion that Jesus was willing to give Tiger Woods crabs.

The Jan. 9 broadcast of Fox's "The Wanda Sykes Show" featured a sketch in which two actors playing Jesus and Buddha appeared as "guests" on the Fox News Channel show "The O'Reilly Factor" during which the former Fox News anchor expounded on his comments.

"This week, Brit Hume went on ‘The O'Reilly Factor' to talk about the statement he made that Tiger Woods should become a Christian," Sykes said. "And I'll say this about the interview - it was really fair and balanced."

Can you imagine a show like this twenty years ago?

I’ve had dogs with more attractive a**es than Wanda Sykes face. She was beaten with the entire ugly tree as a child. Seriously though... we’re told by Christ to turn the other cheek but it’s sure getting harder to tolerate these creeps.

Isn’t she the one in the PSA on tv that castigates a young man for calling something “gay.”

We are informed that “gay” is not an ok perjorative anymore.

She is an admitted lesbian and in the PSA she takes a group of teenage boys on, telling them that calling something “gay” as an insult is like calling something “a teenage boy with barely a mustache” as an insult.

The boys look cowed and presumably will now change their politically incorrect behavior.

Of course, it’s not a sin, an abomination, or a sign of crazy to be a teenage boy with barely a mustache. None of the young gentlemen stand up to tell Wanda that, though.

I don’t go to Applebee’s because she did their commercials. I’m going to watch her on TV? Don’t think so-—I can’t stand the witch!

Fox has a dark side. This witch and Avatar are part of it.

Didn't Wanda go up to Bill Cosby a couple of years ago during an award show and call him a brother or something and he totally dissed her?

"it’s sure getting harder to tolerate these creeps...

If they are progressive/liberals, they most likely support the DeathCult ...therefore you can walk away and whisper "let the dead bury their own dead" (Matthew 8:22)

In that light, it is easier to pity them.

In the age of South Park and the like, Wanda’s joke was really mild.

What is bad though is her hypocrisy, she would be up in arms if someone made a joke about a homo.

I don’t listen to her or Old Christine because I can’t understand a word she says.

From Alien Nation

[after Sgt. Sykes makes fun of George’s name]
Det. Samuel ‘George’ Francisco: It is like your name... Sykes. I’m sure it doesn’t bother you at all that it sounds like “ss’ai k’ss,” two words in my language which mean “excrement” and “cranium.”
[pause]
Det. Samuel ‘George’ Francisco: Shithead.

She so ugly, she could make a freight train take a dirt road to avoid looking at her face.

>>>I guess this is supposed to be funny...

I don’t watch her show so can’t testify from direct observation, but yes handled properly it could have been very funny. Sort of along the lines of how SNL lampooned Oral Roberts saying God would take him back if people didn’t send him all that money. They opened with Charlton Heston as God appearing before Roberts to take the loot. Very funny sketch, from that radical leftie Heston.

Or it could have totally crashed and burned. Either way most humor will offend somebody in our PC world. Deal with it.

>>>I hope her kidneys fail.

But it’s Sykes crossing the line. Yeah I see.

And to think Wanda was a hero when several weeks ago she compared Obama to a beautifully wrapped Christmas gift, that when opened contains several packages of underwear.
