being the subversive prickface that i am, i'll instigate the religion and politics conversation. blogs are forums of sorts. how many people really pay attention to us anyway? having imposed some of the "sword" side of the american religio/politico no-separation-of-church-and-state-bane-of-my-existence-bullshit on a culture resembling marx brothers' films, i feel suited to discuss these topics. i'll talk sex too, and even belches. i think it's good to get things out among friends, what are friends for... by no means am i trying to get a conversation going about war, muslims, or anything like that, just figured we like south park, and generally have a disdain for o'reilly.

we'll see where it goes? o'reilly is prophetic in this country, which is scary.

"they're courageous"-o'reilly(fundamentalist/extremist muslims)... and distorted-me.

Haven't had time to watch the video, though did follow the South Park portrayal-of-Muhammed ordeal. Why is a depiction of this man so taboo? The savior of Christianity is lying bleeding across crucifixes in 1.7 billion churches. As always, if there is anyone with the courage to touch the untouchable, it is Souf Park.

I saw a few "panel" discussions about it. One thing I don't miss about the US is panel commentary shows. Just a bunch of uninformed "experts" talking over each other. It angers me.
Sadly, the panel show that runs twice a day here is Joy Behar. Her panel consisted of three people I'd never heard of, all discussing South Park, which they all admitted they didn't watch. Good television.

I got off track. Milltown, explain to me why the image of Muhammed cannot be disseminated.

Religion and Politics.

(I could have watched the video in the time it took me to write this)

i didnt watch the souf park episode, but i dont doubt they did a great job demystifying mo-ham-ed. it seemed relevant in timing, and because we're all a bunch of juveniles that can talk about these things; but we won't because our wives say not to, or because the internet is watching.

joy behar twice a day? and costa rica watches too.

at least when larry king has a panel he puts dan akroyd next to stephen hawking. it's hard for me to take seriously anyone like this:
