I think the audience is mostly teenagers. It's the People Mag of tv. You offend those kids, or upset their parents you have problems you don't need. So cut the line and who cares? It isn't even funny so why should they sweat it. On 9/12/07, Loathe [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Why? It's not on the

How can an audience that eats up The Girls Next Door and slavishly follows all the sordid details of Paris Hilton's life be offended by a stupid Jesus joke? I mean, they could be offended by Kathy Griffin in general, but telling Jesus to suck it hardly seems like a terrible crime against religion.

I don't think this is a particularly Catholic opinion, anymore than praising God for dead soldiers represents the mainstream of fundamentalist thought. I mean, I know I am a recovering Catholic, but geez. Apart from that quibble though, I had to laugh at your comment. Nice one. Dana I just
