I can see where the humor is comming from, and I'm going to admit that I harber a deep, resounding resentment for art being belittled by cheap advertisements, but the thought of making light of such torture is just psychologicaly disturbing to me.
When I was taught religion in middle school, it actually never disturbed me that much that he is allegidly the "son of God" (I didn't believe it much then and I don't now), but to poke fun at the fact that he was reportedly a generally peaceful human being that was tortured mercilessly and died an unimaginably, horrificly slow death for believing in something different. That, my friend, is my beef, and no doubt more than you wanted to know. Sorry bout that.
An @$$whoopin in the teeth? Hmmm, maybe an @$$whoopin that reaches so far up it nudges the teeth. Yea, I wrote another response explaining that it isn't a religious thing, but a matter of humanitarianism (tho I may have made that up). NOt to mention it makes TGIF look like a bunch of uppity pricks, tho I am kiiiind of doubting this is their handiwork. It's not funny, tho it tries desperately to be. Clever, yes. But as is my belief in people, I perceive art for the sole sake of shock value to be, for the most part, pathetic.
you put my feelings perfectly. part of me wants to say to each their own, but i really can't lie - i lose respect for people who would get a kick outta that kind of thing.
Whoa... that's too blasphemous even for me. Like cmon dude. People have actually died on crosses. You suffocate under the pressure of your crushed lungs, or bleed to death, or have a stroke. It's not funny. shay
