I'm Catholic and I'm upset

[Damien]

Ah! well, have you seen the pic of the new Pope made to look like the emperor?

[ThatRoundHeadedKid]

Don't they also show a disclaimer notice prior to the show, like "All celebrities in this show are poorly portrayed and do not express the true opinions or actions of the real characters" or something of that nature? I mean c'mon, they even show that they don't truly mean to offend anyone that they make fun of...

People really do need to lighten up.

They poke fun at everyone and so does Family Guy and alot of other shows. Hell, South Park poked fun at Canada once and you didn't see us getting upset.

Everyone needs to take these things as jokes and have a laugh because everything now adays is way too serious.

[Shortbus]

The funny thing is the people bitching and complaining about it are the people who are obviously watching the program otherwise they would have no idea about. I routinely watch SP but I haven't seen this one yet. It airs once and every hollier than thou motherf****r has seen it but me and has already got it pulled. WTF

what do you mean? They've been making fun of Jesus since the beginning of the show, catholics didnt care because it was funny and it wasnt going too far.

But a statue of Holy Mary bleeding out of her vagina.... thats just disrespectful and discusting

South Park is garbage now. They're catching eminem syndrome, they've run out of all the good jokes and now they're just trying to do shocking things to keep people watching. The proof is that show is one of the most unfunny ones they've made to date... they jus try to keep people watching with the shock factor

i'm not an uptight catholic, but it jus seems like they're running out of ideas

Women have been bleeding out of their vaginas ever since the beginning its natural and nothing new, why can't their be a cartoon about it?

[sv650s]

to me they're just doing the same stuff that other people are afraid to do, they're expressing their political views and exercising their free speech but they're just doing it in they're own way. so people should just chill out and learn to laugh.

Seriously, Gay pride didn't freak out and try to ban southpark, or blacks, or all the celebs, or asians, or ANY THING ELSE IN THE WORLD, becuase they basicly make fun of everything. I mean Damn, the church is acting like a spoiled little BITCH, that cant take getting picked on just a little.

[Muscletang]

Ok here's what I think, the virgin Mary was bleeding from her vagina, pussy, cootch, slit, cunt, love glove, cooter, beaver, twat, snatch, pink taco, love canal, muff, roast beef curtains, catcher's mitt, love rug, tuna town, cockpit, poody tat, spasm chasm, Republic of Labia, Sausage Wallet, birth canal whatever.

You telling me if your hole had the son of God going through it you wouldn't gush a little bit of blood?

P.S. I'm not Catholic, just thought I'd get everybody's attention.

Your a very sick little boy




Menstral flow is about is the ultimate symbol of a womens fertility.
Sounds just the sort of thing the Catholic church would want to have covered up.
God for bid that evil women should be fertile.

I guess you dont watch the show, cause if you did you'd know they've been making fun of christianity/catholics since the show began, just as much as everybody else they've made fun of and was the Catholic Church upset? nope. They didnt care just like all those people that you mentioned.

BUT showing the holy mary bleeding from her vagina is just completely distasteful and NOT FUNNY. Thats the point, this show was one of their LEAST FUNNY shows of all time. The only thing they were trying to get across was the shock factor

if they made fun of the holy mary in a funny way not a discusting way, nobody would care

Sure... let them make fun of any woman having their period. Nobody would be offended because its a natural thing. Why do they have to use the Holy Mary Mother Of God? Thinking it'll be funny, but it wasnt.


Look i'm not some crazy religious catholic, even tho it seems like it since i'm the only one defending this. I guarentee i sin more than 95% of the people on AF. I've robbed people, i've bin to prison, i've sold almost every drug you can sell, but i still think there should be a little more respect shown towards religious icons like the Holy Mary. If they just showed the Holy Mary dancing the Macarena with Jesus doing the lambada, nobody would of cared, since Jesus is already a regular character on the show and the Catholic church doesnt complain about that. But showing her bleeding out her vagina for laughs was just stepping over the line in my opinion

[Shortbus]

It's all good I respect your opinion Gotti, I just think people who are offended by it should just switch channels. Thats what I do when something on TV offends me. ( though I'm rarely offended, especially by american watered down programming) and not to mention I am paying for the damn cable channel anyway.

I just get sick of all the groups out there telling me how to act and what I can and cannot watch on tv. Its getting ridiculous.

[chiefsmackahoe]

If you dont like something dont pay attention to it, no matter what you do THERE WILL ALWAYS BE SOMEONE OFFENDED BY IT!!!!!!!!!

[TheStang00]

it wasnt the church itself that was complaining was it? wasnt it just a catholic group.

anyways, i agree with gotti. maybe except for the robbing and going to jail part .

This country has always had a bias against catholics, i think some of them are just beginning to get fed up with it. for instance, who here knows that the statement declaring there must be a wall of seperation between church and state was brought about by a racist judge on the supreme court who was afraid catholics would take over the country. bet not many of you knew that one. and if any of you try to say catholics arent discriminated against in this country, you might need a reality check.

southpark does routinely make fun of all kinds of people and stereotypes them. which theyve done to my ancestors, i dont care though. however, this time it seems like they want to piss off catholics. i mean you cant put that on there and not expect someone to get pissed off. they are attacking the religion itself, not making fun of stereotypes, but attacking the religion itself. and dont think im some stuck up bastard either, family guy is one of my favorite shows on tv, when they had the episode with the irish history museum (im part irish) i laughed my ass off, but thats totally different than what southpark did here.

Umm poked fun? They kind of made a movie about a war with canada lol. And if any of you watch George Carlin, this is somewhat related. Because he is a bad ass lol, but back onto topic...Like others have said, South Park makes fun of everyone, and thats why it is funny. I say those who are offended dont need to watch it.
