Perhaps its because it's no less ridiculous than the real thing.

And people say Canadians aren't brilliant!

Posted just in time for Blasphemy Day tomorrow!

I was actually thinking of this sketch earlier today, specifically "Thus He spake."

I have Season One on DVD, and they talk briefly about this sketch and the difficulty in getting it shot. Primarily with the CBC Carpenters Guild; they were all very Catholic and refused to build the Crucifixion Machine. So the Kids had to spend a weekend at the studio building it themselves.

And decades later people will be killed because a newspaper dares to portray the prophet Mohammed in a cartoon. To this day though(I'm Canadian) all I hear about is how repressive the christian majority in the country is.

Happy blasphemy day, suckas!

KITH=instant upvote.

Wait, who said what?

That's a silly comparison. It's like saying it's OK to go around hitting people randomly with a stick because there's other people out there who murder and rape. Simply being not as bad as the other guy does not free you of moral obligations.

One of the 'big' issues in Canada is wearing veils when voting. We have Islamic lobby's complaining it is a violation of their rights to be forced to reveal their faces in order to verify their identity and be allowed to vote. It's about the 'strongest' example of 'christian' repression that comes to mind in Canada right now, so I think my analogy was quite appropriate. The fact our own comedians were doing this back in the 90's should suggest that at least our country truly does respect freedom of and from religion.

You're all so eager to mock Christianity that I think you failed to notice how perverse this is. I wonder what's funny about a crucifixion machine. Considering the hundreds of thousands of people that were brutally and indiscriminately murdered in that way, both in the ancient and modern world, a crucifixion machine is about as funny as gas chambers and guillotines. At least gas chambers and guillotines are quick, whereas crucifixion is prolonged torture. Yeah. Hilarious.

No U.

Crucifixion, brought to you by the letter T.

Happy Blasphemy Day!

Gas chambers and guillotines can also be funny, if you're not averse to a little black humor, and if it is done in a respectful way. If we are going to talk about negative connotation, we might consider the appropriateness of Christianity to have an infamous torture device as its main symbol.

Guillotines are hilarious - imagine "bring your kid to work day". Good times. Gas chambers are fun if they're full of laughing gas.

Anything is funny if framed right.

Even though I neither value the cross as a symbol nor agree that it should be used, I will defend it by saying that the cross is not mocked by Christians. It is the symbol of a martyrdom. Call me crazy, but I think that there is a big difference between mockery and reverence.

Oh my god, I failed to notice how perverse this is.

Thanks for bringing it to my attention, now I think its ten times funnier. Ha! Stupid martyrs.

Enjoy your bedtime stories, religion.

Yeah, because mockery denounces something for its idiocy, while reverence shows respect for its idiocy.

Eh i'd just like to state that the only reason my name is alongside thepinky as downvoting isn't because i agree with what she/he said, it's just cos kids in the hall has never ever made me laugh or smile, and i think it's the least funny program ever put on television - ahead of dramas and such.

Just wanted to clear it up.

^Oh, please.

To my most honorable fellow sifters,

Your ability to so easily lump all of Christianity into one great steaming pile of idiocy is amazing. It's as if you've figured it all out, and you're so sure that you're right that you delight in mocking people who don't agree with you. Humor is one thing, but people have repeatedly admitted that the point of this video is to deal a blow to Christians through mockery. Disdain and disrespect are not admirable traits, especially when you should just be admitting to yourself and everyone else that you know as little about the universe as the next idiot.
