I wonder who the advertisers will side with, the 21-50 demographic, or the almost dead, old person demographic?

Raping choir boys is getting a lot harder these days, so I guess they have to channel their energy elsewhere.

We really don't need to boycott anyone as the picture is so indefensible-putting a nativity scene ornament in between the legs of a naked woman-that no one save the maliciously sick would even try to defend it.

Next thing you know, someone will say that Jesus came out of a woman's swollen vagina.

I'm still not entirely clear how photoshopping a picture of a nativity scene into a picture of a women's spread legs is somehow more offensive than treating actual women as little more than breeding chattel.

Hear that, ladies? I case the last 2,000 years hadn't clued you in, hard-line catholics find you disgusting.

Because Jesus.

They're getting to Stewart the same way a dead mouse is "getting to" a hungry cat.

The Catholic League Twitter feed is hilarious. It's so full of venom. At first, I wasn't sure it was real.

CATHOLIC LEAGUE
For Religious and Civil Rights the Rights of Catholics at the Expense of all Other Groups

Poe's law in action. Only it's sort of the reverse, isn't it?

All Catholics should have to pass the rigorous purity tests the Church performed on suspected heretics and witches back during any of the many dark eras of the church. If you pass the test and still want to be a Catholic after that, then God be with you.

I'm sure the Catholic League does believe they're getting to John Stewart. They've already proven that they have no problems believing in things with no basis in fact or reality.

Upon reflection this kind of calls for a Photoshop contest followed by a whole lot of people sending their entries to the Catholic League...

Here's the Catholic League's original call to contact Kraft. It helpfully includes all the contact information you would need if you wanted to contact Kraft and tell them you appreciate that they are advertising on a certain television program.

Not to mention that every time the Catholic League puts out a press release or does an interview, the entire Vatican public relations department have to attend a special service dedicated to St Wuthefuc, patron saint of facepalming.

Irish pub guys who are unusually proud of their body hair sounds like bear heaven.

On Thursday, April 19, at 7 p.m. ET, Bill Donohue will appear on Current TV's "The Young Turks" to discuss Jon Stewart.


That must have been fun. Almost sorry I missed it.

What may happen when John Stewart starts to lose it:

Relatively Obscure: We really don't need to boycott anyone as the picture is so indefensible-putting a nativity scene ornament in between the legs of a naked woman-that no one save the maliciously sick would even try to defend it.

How else would the King of Kings get his crowning?

Chalk up another one to "manufactured outrage"

The Catholic League. AKA: Up With Pederasts

/spare me your false outrage, you f*cking hypocrites

Rapmaster2000: No, Walter, I did not think Larry was about to crack.

that no one save the maliciously sick would even try to defend it.

I'm just that guy.

We'll see who is branded as "ignorant" when our campaign is done.

Yeah, can't wait!!!!

Their header is "For Religious and Civil Rights".

JerseyTim: The Catholic League Twitter feed is hilarious. It's so full of venom. At first, I wasn't sure it was real.

I like how they call Jon Stewart a misogynist (spelled incorrectly, of course). I'm not quite sure if that's irony, but if not, there's gotta be a word for that. What's a good word for "accusing someone else of being exactly what you are?"

I also like the tweet about how if Stewart had any guts, he'd debate (whoever the tweeter guy is?) in person. If Stewart had any guts at all, he'd come on TV with me & give me free publicity!!1! It's right up there with saying that anyone who tries to defend this picture is a bad person. Is the Catholic League a real thing or just one guy getting offended at almost naked ladies?

potato_chip_eating_geek: link farked.

Here's the text:

According to the Tampa Bay Times, while performing in Florida on Saturday night, Jon Stewart "offered some serious messages, railing against cable TV news channels' 'outrage machine' after noting the Catholic League boycotted him for a joke placing a manger between a woman's legs."

Stewart then said, "I'm not going to censor myself to comfort your ignorance." The newspaper said this remark was made "in a rare moment of seriousness."

Catholic League president Bill Donohue picked up on what Stewart said:

Nice to know the Catholic League is on Jon Stewart's mind. Unfortunately for him, we're going to hang around for weeks, contacting his sponsors and religious leaders from all the major religions. We're sending them the "vagina manger" picture he is so proud of, asking everyone to pressure Comedy Central into getting Stewart to apologize.

We really don't need to boycott anyone as the picture is so indefensible-putting a nativity scene ornament in between the legs of a naked woman-that no one save the maliciously sick would even try to defend it.

The good news is that Stewart lashed out at us in a serious moment-the e-mails that are pouring into Comedy Central are obviously getting to him. We'll see who is branded as "ignorant" when our campaign is done.

I like how this guy thinks that Stewart merely acknowledging that someone's pissed is the same thing as being disturbed or agitated by it. Acknowledging that spider in my house isn't the same as freaking out over it. Shoe. Splat. Done.

/cat!
//get over here and clean this up

The Catholic is just one guy, Bill Donohue. He's pretty damn angry all the time.

Not saying they would, but I'd love to see The Daily Show take up his offer and bring him on the show. They could ask him what he's so upset about and when he replies, say, "you mean this picture?" and keep displaying it. Take it down, let him continue, pop it back up. Over and over. Just keep interrupting him with the picture.

Stop it! You're making him think about sex while he's trying to be outraged! Anyway. I saw the original Daily Show segment and I don't remember thinking, "This is misogynistic towards women" or "This is using sex to sell your point." I just thought, "Some religious group is gonna be pissed about this somehow." I'm gonna try to find a clip. I figure we'll get some Catholic League defenders in here once this goes big green & I think the least they could do was watch the offending segment.... which was farkin funny, if I remember correctly.

You have to spam to get your point across. They've already set up a filter to stop you. You've already lost.

Do they realize that they can get spam bombed as well...or are they just naive and stupid?

Ok, lookie here, Bill has extended his campaign to Subway.


Thanks for posting the address, Bill!

You know, as the ultimate 'fark you" to the Catholic League, fans of TDS should call Kraft, thank them and appreciate that they're advertising on TDS.

Just to piss off the CL.
