Catholic League threatens Jon Stewart with boycott over ‘vagina manger’ joke on ‘Daily Show’

Anonymous
This segment aired on April 16th, I thought it was really funny and made a good point. Apparently the Catholic league doesn't appreciate satire.

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!)

Given the likely overlap of Catholic League supporters and the Daily Show audience, a 100% successful boycott would actually increase the number of Stewart's viewers. Far more people will tune in due to the controversy then will boycott.

Imagine that. The Catholic church lacks a sense of humor. That's odd since the found the Inquisition so entertaining!

Speaking of which did they do anything mean to Mel Brooks about that whole movie?

I think you are right and that makes me wonder even more, why the boycott? Especially since he could probably benefit from the attention.

So all the pedophiles in the Church and their admirers won't watch Jon Stewart.

Yeah, that'll really hurt! Lol ...

I looked at the Catholic League website and I really think that the last person these paranoids want to attract to their website is Jon Stewart!

The Catholic League itself has probably only 250,000 members and most of them are just writing a small check every year like you would to the Leukemia Society.

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.

When Hillary and fwminists establish a world religion, let me know.

Just because they won't touch you, doesn't mean they won't touch the rest of us. Feminists have fewer sexual hangups.

Really? Cuz I'm a feminist and I sure love me some sex. Strictly Dickly as Meg McCain would say.
Exactly what "anythings" feminine or sexual do all feminists plus HC hate in your expert opinion?
