Not sure I completely understand what upsets folks particularly. Is it the whole graphic itself or just the discretion of a manger? I honestly do not wish to offend anyone, just wanted to hear why people are upset by this specifically (truly can't be the worst Stewart has done on his show!)

So you really don't see why the Catholic League would be upset with a picture of a nativity scene used to censor a picture of a vagina? If you have any Catholic friends ask one of them what they think. And what if he used a picture of a Menorah or Qur'an? I'm pretty sure most Jews and Muslims would be equally upset and rightfully so.

And how did you get so far off-track in life that you don't understand why this would offend people?

Not the poster you are talking to but, sure all kinds of things offend all kinds of people. But a boycott over this? John Stewart wasn't up there full of hate, saying horrible things about Catholicism - think Rush Limbaugh and Sandra Fluke. THAT is boycott worthy. A picture of a vagina manager? So inherently offensive that a boycott is necessary? Sounds to me like more religious vagina paranoia. OMG JESUS near a VAGINA!!!!! ARRRRGGGHHHH!

It's about power. Before patriarchy, religion was mostly matriarchy, focused around the Great Mother's power to give - and take - life. conception-birth-death. Thus patriarchy makes evil everything feminine and everything sexual. Even the names of ancient gods and goddesses entered the Bible's cast of "demons".

As president Clinton would vouch for me on this.... Hillary and the feminists also hate anything feminine or sexual therefore I think you are on the wrong path here.

And yet we are the ones making sure you don't take away birth control and abortion. Do you think we are collecting those pills like the star wars action figures you buy and then put up on a shelf?

I think we have the sex part down, just fine.
