Comedy Central has done it again. They just can't seem to make the religious crowd happy. One day it's depicting Muhammed in a bear suit, the next it's Jesus as a ninja. So I find it as no suprise that a conservative, religious coalition has set out to put a stop to it. The newly formed Citizens Against Religious Bigotry (or as I prefer to call them, CARB) has formed an online petition to prevent Comedy Central from airing a potential new show called JC, which depicts JC dealing with current social issues in New York City.
CARB uses the fact that Comedy Central caved to radical Muslims in the Muhammed/bear suit episode, yet continues to bash Christianity and depict Jesus in absurd (yet hilarious) roles.
This is an easy issue. All this CARB stuff is really unnecessary. Just show the Muhammed episode and be done with it. Humor is about discriminating against all people, Muslims and Christians alike. Once you spare one, you have to spare them all.
So I guess you could say I support the Religious Atkins Diet: Less CARB, more gristle. When it comes to religion, there's certainly enough fat to go around.
