I'm not real thrilled with the giant "The Dark History of the Church" ad alongside the story. :rolleyes:

I'm glad that they pulled it but they pulled it without comment. It's like they don't want to tell us sorry they just want to satisfy us. But of course they don't want to admit that they were wrong or they don't think they are wrong.

I heard that the South Park guys actually want to get cancelled, and that's why they've gotten so bad. You know, I think if they want to get cancelled they know who to target. The Catholic Church has a Corbomite Shield.


100 points to the one who gets the reference.

Thank God for the C.L.R.C.R.... They need to be commended for all they're hard work... I'm sure they are extremly busy these days with all the trash on T.V. That's why I keep my T.V. on EWTN the majority of the day... susi

[quote]Comedy Central parent Viacom... board member Joseph A. Califano Jr., a Catholic, released a statement calling the episode an "appalling and disgusting portrayal of the Virgin Mary."

"It is particularly troubling to me as a Roman Catholic that the segment has run on the eve and day of the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, a holy day for Roman Catholics," Califano said.

Califano at the time promised to have Viacom chief Tom Freston watch the episode, E! said. [/quote]
