(But Mostly To Whoever Made This Petition or Signed It)
Joking about a historical and religious figure's
torture and murder is definitely fair game in the creation of a comedic
piece of material. But why stop there? The story of Jesus, and the
religion of Christianity is so full of comedic opportunities, it seems a
crime against comedy to only devote a single sketch on Adult Swim to
making fun of Jesus and his followers. The (highly likely allegorical
and in no way historical) "death" of "the lord" is merely one hilarious
aspect to the whole silly story that is ripe for satirical skewering on a
regular basis. Please sign this petition, so that
we can forward it to the people at Adult Swim and Youtube to let them
know that we no longer tolerate short web clips as a viable method to
satirize and ridicule the story of Jesus Christ and the millions of
people who feel that this story has any relevance in the modern world
aside from a cute little story, with a mediocre plot and predictable
ending (that totally doesn't make sense btw).
This web series,
for example, currently featured on a premium youtube channel, makes the
whole story of Jesus
and his "return" look like a joke. It is full of the insulting lack of
decency viewers of Adult Swim have grown accustomed to and wish to see
more of in their regular viewing. The
media has far too long coddled these whiny, religious minorities at the
expense of too many jokes and too many laughs. This type of stuff has
been kept off of public TV for too long, and needs to be far more
prominently viewed on international, censorship free forums, such as
YouTube. Human civilization has far advanced past the point where we
need adult babies running around deciding what is 'appropriate' viewing
for human beings perfectly capable of deciding for themselves what they
want to watch and if it is enjoyable or funny. The right to be
offended, is not a right, nor is the right to impose your own lack of
humour or strict moral guidelines upon other freethinking individuals
whom you have zero control over, or right to dictate their viewing
habits.
As such, I hope the good people at Adult Swim, will
recognize the potential for hours of delightful satire available with a
program such as JFC, that with proper financing could blossom from a
small web series to a truly ground breaking animated series in the
footsteps of South Park, Family Guy or Robot Chicken.
Satire
has been an important and vital tool in the evolution of society for as
long as there has been entertainment. Childish, self-absorbed censorship
has never proven to be achieve positive results, while common sense
and freedom have a long and glorious track record of doing wonderful
things for the progress of the species. The choice is pretty clear to me. I propose you ignore that other petition, and listen to this one instead.

I love you. Signed.
