Fatwā Comedy Central

Comedy Central developing Jesus Christ cartoon

When asked whether publication of his home address would factor in, Alterman responded "Whoa,  mother-fucker!"

“ Comedy Central developing Jesus Christ cartoon Comedy Central might censor every image of the Prophet Muhammad on "South Park," yet the network is developing a whole animated series around Jesus Christ. As part of the network's upfront presentation to advertisers (full slate here), the network is set to announce "JC," a half-hour show about Christ wanting to escape the shadow of his "powerful but apathetic father" and live a regular life in New York City. In the show, God is preoccupied with playing video games while Christ, "the ultimate fish out of water," tries to adjust to life in the big city. "In general, comedy in purist form always makes some people uncomfortable," said Comedy Central's head of original programming Kent Alterman When asked if the show might draw some fire, especially coming on the heels of the network's decision to censor the Muslim faith's religious figure on "South Park," Alterman said its too early in the show's development to be concerned about such matters.  ” I know how these phuckers think. "South Park gets away with a Jesus Christ parody, so people must love that kind of shit."  Wrong asshat.  South Park gets away with it because they parody everybody.  The creators do not like organized religion, period.  They get away with it, because after all the disrespect, there is often a worthwhile message. They get away with it, because the Jesus character is not central to the cartoon.  That Comedy Central would dare contemplate such a thing, in the face of their refusal to even allow the name Muhummad to be uttered, shows their hypocrisy. Trey Parker has the answer. " They just don't want to be killed." Good thing they're dealing with conservatives and Christian Americans in this matter.
