[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=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!)[/quote]

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?  [/quote]

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![/quote]
