My religion was offened by a cartoon yesterday

Published on February 9, 2006 By DJBandit In Politics

I'm Catholic, well I was raised Catholic. I don't go to church but i do believe in God. Anyways. As I watched TV last night I came across The Simpson show. I always enjoy the crude humor of the show, but last night made me want to run into the streets and riot, burn cars, destroy private and public property and maybe beat some people up to the point of almost killing them..... and then maybe let them die. Why? I'll tell you.

The show had something to do with Homer and Marge having relationship problems as usual. Eventually somewhere along the line of the show, Homer allowed some RV owners to park in his back yard. The RV owners started reving their RVs as a game and all the fumes went into the Ned's (the religious neighbors) house. As he was putting his kids to sleep one of them said the fumes was making him dizzy. Ned told him that Jesus would not allow them to die in this matter and then it happend...... an image of Jesus showed up next to them and said " don't worry I will not let you die like this" or something like that and then he said " now go to sleep" and they all dropped dead from the fumes and Jesus smilled with and evil face.

I find this very offensive and will now direct myself to the matches in my pocket and the tank of Gas in my car and head to the nearest liquor store or 7-11 and set the place of fire even though they have nothing to do with any of it.

(please keep in mind that this is all sarcasm and that I will not do anything I said I would do even though the show really did play on TV last night)

Be careful now. You are not a downtrodden Muslim. When you attack other people and burn down random buildings, they might shoot you.

Hehe, what if I wear a towel on my head?

BTW can anyone tell me how I can edit an article I have posted. It won't show on my own site and it says I don't have permission to edit my own articles.

If I'm not mistaken it's because you didn't post this article to your blog. You posted it to the forums. (See where it says on JoeUser.com? That should say "on DJBandit'sWorld" or whatever your blog title is).

Oh, so I must be doing something wrong when I make the articles. I think I got it. Thanx for the heads up.

I guess you were right. It seems that me being offended is not that important since I'm not muslim and I guess I am of no danger to anyone. Funny how that works.

Don't bishops and cardinals wear bomb-shaped hats?

They could be interpreted as bombs... among other, easily as offensive, things. The problem here, I think, is that no matter what the turban had ended up being they would have been offended. The point now is translating the offense into political capital. Engineering the offense seems to have been pretty easy.

I mean, though, when people say to me "Aren't people always going to be offended by something or other?" I'm like "Does the Pope crap in the woods?" Or is it, "Do bears wear funny hats?" Or something like that...
