hehehe, menurut saya sih tidak.

IMHO masih ada bedanya antara 'blasphemy' 
dan 'making-fun'. Yang di bawah ini bisa
dikategorikan sbg. making fun:

sebetulnya inti pesan / the moral of the
story-nya adalah mengeritik rumitnya
regulasi  birokrasi pemerintah, tingginya
standar 'civil-society' yang ingin serba
'melindungi' berbagai hal: mulai dari
lingkungan s/d minoritas, sehingga cukup 
merepotkan, dengan 'meminjam' kisah Noah, 
yang disajikan secara humorik.

tahun 2007 kemarin ada film yang mirip
komedi yang mungkin mirip dengan itu: 
Evan the Mighty

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0413099/plotsummary

Isu yang di angkat sebetulnya adalah isu
Lingkungan Hidup/Tata Ruang dengan inti
pesan: agar di dalam perencanaan tata-kota
( dalam hal ini Washington ) disediakan
juga ruang taman/park yang cukup untuk
ruang-hidup flora  fauna.

Tapi untuk itu Tuhan memberi ilham
kepada seorang anggota Konggres - yang
tadinya Agnostik - yang diberinya misi
mirip misinya Noah (menurut versi barat) : 
membuat kapal untuk menyelamatkan spesies-2 
hewan.

Kalau saya perhatikan pada media barat,
tokoh-tokoh Biblical yang biasanya dianggap 
okey untuk di karikatur kan untuk
membawa pesan: pesan kemanusiaan, pesan
pelestarian lingkungan, dll dll - yang
tujuannya bukan penghinaan, adalah tokoh-
tokoh tertentu: 

biasanya:  Noah  Moses!

( Kebetulan kedua tokoh ini, baik menurut
  kisah Bible ataupun Quran digambarkan 
  punya 'akses komunikasi langsung' dengan 
  Tuhan/bisa 'bercakap-cakap' langsung secara
 'interaktif' )
 
Tokoh-tokoh Biblical yang lain: Abraham, David,
Solomon, Jesus, di samping tidak digambarkan
punya 'jalur komunikasi interaktif' dengan Tuhan,
juga hampir tidak mungkin menjadikan mereka sbg.
figur karikatur tanpa memberi kesan sebagai 
penghinaan/blashpemy.

IMHO, menurut standar barat-pun, it seems to be
unwise untuk menjadikan tokoh-2 Biblical selain
Noah  Moses sebagai tokoh karikatur, apalagi 
tokoh Muhammad, nabinya orang Islam.

  In the year 2008, the Lord came unto Noah, who was

  Build another Ark and save 2 of every living thing

  He gave Noah the blueprints, saying, You have 6 
  months to build the Ark before I will start the 
  unending rain for 40 days and 40 nights.
 
  Six months later, the Lord looked down and saw Noah 
  weeping in his yard - but no Ark.
 
  Noah! He roared, I'm about to start the rain! 
  Where is the Ark?
 
  Forgive me, Lord, begged Noah, but things have 
  changed. I needed a building permit. I've been arguing 
  with the inspector about the need for a sprinkler 
  system. My neighbors claim that I've violated the 
  neighborhood zoning laws by building the Ark in my 
  yard and exceeding the height limitations. We had 
  to go to the Development Appeal Board for a decision.
 
  Then the Department of Transportation demanded a 
  bond be posted for the future costs of moving power 
  lines and other overhead obstructions, to clear
  the passage for the Ark's move to the sea. I told 
  them that the sea would be coming to us, but they 
  would hear nothing of it.

  ban on cutting local trees in order to save the
