Freaky as it seems, there really are such things.

A fine line between funny and tacky when it comes to humor in this dept. This could have been funny. It wasn't.

crossed a line. Boo.

Religious people are so uptight.

What about this crosses a line? What is it about religion that it is immune to mockery. I don't buy it.

sort of thing the simpsons/ south park or snl might tackle

reminded me of Talledega Nights quote :

I like to think of Jesus as wearin' a Tuxedo T-Shirt, that says, like, "I want to be formal, but I like to party too." I like to party, so I like my Jesus to party too

Normally I'd non-vote this, but I upvoted just to spite the people that voted against it. I'm all for downvoting things if they are genuinely offensive... which I don't think that was. It was just a little bit of comedy (albeit not very funny) and Jesus isn't a little glass doll that breaks when someone makes light of the situation a bit.

Thanks phoenix

Offensiveness wouldn't be enough reason for me to downvote, though. It has to not be any good. So, even music videos in which I can't stand the music won't get down voted arbitrarily (unless the music flat out blows), and I may even up vote if the visual content is especially good.

(Downvoting as a means of) Censorship is a Bad Idea(tm), IMHO.

Upvote for the Indiana Jones reference!

I think this simply serves to satirise the Christian branding that already goes on in all the evangelical churches - books/tapes/hotlines... why not action figures?

/queue cheesy voice over: "It teaches kids about the Gospel in an entertaining way!"

Religion We all *need* to be able to take a joke (atheists/agnostics too!)

It's not about uptight over picking on religion, it's like any topic that's sensitive generally. Religion and war are examples. It's not that it crossed a line, it's just difficult to make fun and it be generally appealingly funny.

Life of Brian (Monty Python) is an example where they made fun of christianity and it was brilliant.

"What about this crosses a line? What is it about religion that it is immune to mockery. I don't buy it."

I dunno. Just ask the Scientologists.

Lol...

G.I. Jesus
