HBO Curb Your Enthusiasm
 
What a disgrace to Christians all over the world. The main character pissed on a picture of Jesus. Boycott HBO. Not funny at all. :fury:

I've always enjoyed the show.

Larry David has created a pretty funny show. While that may be inappropriate, it seems silly to over-react and boycott an entire channel over something like that.

I will give you that the show has been getting pretty crappy this season.

justplugit 10-25-2009 09:13 PM

No decency or values at all. :(

I guess nothing on tv is really shocking any more. Let alone something on HBO.

Raven 10-26-2009 03:55 AM

not worth my time

This season feels like they are trying too hard. Otherwise, I love the show. I didn't see the episode in quesion and it does sound offensive but have to say that they don't target any specific groups. Usually it's just good humor.

Not The Koran though...

amen....

i've tried to like that show, but it has very few moments. like someone else said- they look like they're try'in too hard.

PaulS 10-27-2009 07:06 AM

He didn't piss on the picture, his piss splashed on it - huge difference and very misleading to anyone who didn't see it.

I took it as an attempt to make fun of the folks who see something on an Icon or picture of Jesus and think its a miracle or if they think they see an image of the Virgin Mary on an english muffin (or was it a grilled cheese sandwich?).

DZ 10-27-2009 02:39 PM

Exactly PaulS. Completly misconstrued.

Duke41 10-27-2009 04:23 PM

ya your right thats much better. Splashing piss on Jesus is not a big deal.

RIROCKHOUND 10-27-2009 08:11 PM

nuttin like sum good ole fashioned over reacting... think that show is bad, check out Always sunny on FX :D

Duke41 10-27-2009 08:41 PM

overreacting are youp kidding me.
where is the outrages

HighTide 10-28-2009 10:24 AM

Spray piss on the koran or a torah then see the outrage. It's open season on Christians

RIROCKHOUND 10-28-2009 12:05 PM

It's a %$%$%$%$ing comedy show.
He didn't actually piss on a priest, church, crucifix etc. it was a PICTURE on a comedy SHOW!

And as far as other religions, I'll point you towards 'Always Sunny' they had an episode titled 'the gang goes jihad'
never heard a peep out of that either.

What about family guy? They continually mock all religions, and is one of the top rated shows.

Don't like it, don't watch.

People in this society get "outraged" far too easily these days. There is no such thing as a moderate response.

Sure, be offended by it. Shoot off an email or write a letter, but calling for a boycott on a fishing forum seems silly.

"Let us Ayyyyyy"

"A Reading from a letter to the Tuscaderos"

Hands down one of the funniest episodes of the Family Guy

the christians are going ape%$%$%$%$.

I must be too old for this %$%$%$%$. I have been a Catholic my whole life and to see this jackass splash his pee over a picture of Jesus was an affront to me. I guess there is no common decency or respect anymore. Does not bode well for future generations if all it takes to do something so depraved and immoral is to make it funny. Good Luck.

RIROCKHOUND 10-28-2009 02:38 PM

OK.
Saw a clip of it, that has now been removed.

In context, it is actually more of a commentary on what passes a miracle these days...

The joke was not, lets watch Larry David whip it out and piss on Jesus....

PaulS 10-28-2009 02:52 PM

If you pee in the bowl and get splashed on, is it your pee that hits you or is it the water?

If I drop a pebble in the water, I still get splashed on and I know its not the pebble.

YouTube - Curb Your Enthusiasm Season 7 Clip - Splashback

I took it different after watching it. It was pisser funny. He didn't piss on anything they just left it up to you to decide if he did.

RIROCKHOUND 10-29-2009 07:15 AM

The HORROR...

Wow! You portrayed it as if Larry David took a picture of Jesus off the wall and said "Efff You Jesus!" then unleashed his stream onto Jesus' forehead. Talk about a complete utter overreaction.

I'm more offended by the blond's muffintop spilling out all over the place. I'm thinking about boycotting HBO over that.

Joe 10-29-2009 03:22 PM

Holding on to the flab of the woman's muffin-top to keep from going off the building was funny.

missing link 10-30-2009 04:34 PM

If you are a fan of Curb Your E ,you would know that Larry's Pee goes all over the place when he P's, it's like he gets a woodie if he hugs someone more 7 seconds, it's the norm for him

Duke41 10-30-2009 07:55 PM

He is very funny but a guy that is that creative does not have to dive for the gutter.

RIROCKHOUND 10-31-2009 08:58 AM

dig below it, and see it for the religious satire it is regarding the gullibility of people and miracles..

or just enjoy the muffin top :yak5:

Raider Ronnie 10-31-2009 06:25 PM

You guys are nuts getting all worked up about religion !
