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.
http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/cutline/catholic-league-threatens-jon-stewart-boycott-over-vagina-135012202.html 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! |
I wonder how many adherents to the Catholic League tennents fit the Daily Show target audience. I would assume thet're all glued to Faux news Billy O reruns |
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. |
Why do Catholics hate women? |
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. |
I say we boycott the Catholic pews. Oh, wait, that's already happening. |
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? |
