MTV Pokes Fun at Jesus’ Crucifixion
And where’s the rioting?
CNSNews reports: “As Christians around the world prepare for Easter, magazine readers in Germany were confronted this week by full-page advertisements depicting Jesus, wearing a crown of thorns but descended from the cross, enjoying a television program.”
“Laughing rather than hanging around,” (Lachen statt rumhaengen) reads the tagline of the ad, which has drawn strong protests in Germany, where two-thirds of the population identifies as Christian.
The ad promotes MTV’s plan to broadcast a cartoon lampooning the pope and Vatican hierarchy. The series, Popetown, was considered too controversial to be aired in Britain, and it caused an uproar in the one country where it has appeared, New Zealand.
Coming at a time when the dust has yet to settle from the furor over newspaper cartoons caricaturing Mohammed, the row has prompted some Germans to ask why their faith should be an easy target.
The Deutsche Welle broadcaster quoted Joachim Herrmann of the Christian Social Union party as saying that MTV would have thought twice before poking fun in a similar way at Muslims.
“It is not acceptable that the Christian faith in particular is dragged into the dirt just because it is easier and less dangerous,” he said, calling for MTV to pull both the series and the “tasteless” ads.
Maybe Christians around the world should start rioting in the streets, and pledge to behead any who mock the Saviour. That approach seems to work in some circles.
Meanwhile, back in the States, Comedy Central censors a South Park cartoon for fear it may upset some Muslims. But once again, mocking Jesus is okay with the network.
Michelle Malkin is following the story.

That’s funny, you called me a “hater” when I posted before the same information, except naming the JEW behind the scenes.
And banned my ip. Freedom of speech? Ha. Semitically correct speech? Sure.
Who owns MTV/Viacom?
Sumner RedStone, AKA Murray Rothstein. Hateful Jew working 24/7 to destroy white western civilization and values.
Jews are attacking Jesus. Jews are behind the “War on Christmas”
THESE are the haters. Jews hate you. Whites will be extinct within a few generations unless you stop these destroyers.
Why did you ban my ip? You courageously dare to bash the French, yet LOVE AND WORSHIP the Jews who hate you.
WATCH MTV, people. Try not to throw up after the sickening race mixing mongrelization propaganda created 100% by jews.

First, your IP was never banned. Hence, you’re still here engaging us with your unique insights. Secondly, Jesus was a Jew. Thirdly, being Jewish is a religion, not a race (although, some of our New York friends may argue that point). Fourth, America enjoys a rich Judeo-Christian heritage. (Can’t have Christians without Jesus Christ) And, finally, it doesn’t take courage to bash the French; they don’t fight back.
Is mongrelization even a word? Point for creativity, though. And, yes, NationalVanguard is a much more suitable website for you.

I suppose we’ll be seeing a rash of Christian mobs running around yelling “Death to MTV!!” and burning effigies of Les Moonves (they probably don’t know who Redstone/Himmelfarb is).
Eric seems to have an incomplete understanding of free speech. If he’d read that little document carefully, he’d see that it says “… government shall make no law restricting …”.
If the LA Times or the CA Conservative chooses not to publish his contribution (or mine, for that matter), that’s not even close to a free speech issue. That’s called “editing”. It’s also called “I pay for the cyberspace, I decide who gets in”.
Just like in your, my, or Eric’s home.
April 13th, 2006 at 4:54 pm
I wonder if Eric will ever contribute anything that is useful or makes sense?
Nah, that’s like expecting Dingy Harry to make sense sometime.

Chris Morton was right about people like him.
What is a Nazi?
A Nazi is above all else, a craven coward.
A Nazi is afraid to compete with others as
equals because he knows he can’t measure up.
A Nazi is afraid of his own inadequacy, so
he wants to murder his betters.
A Nazi is afraid of the truth, so he wants
to murder those who tell it.
A Nazi is afraid of history, so he wants to
murder the past, to wipe out the knowledge
of the degeneracy, cowardice and failure of
National Socialism.
Finally, a Nazi is afraid of the power of
educated, informed adults. Freedom of
choice terrifies him… which is why he
chooses minor children as sexual partners.
He can’t interact with competent adults in
a consensually sexual way. He needs to be
able to impose himself on a helpless victim,
be it a prepubescent boy, or a patient in a
mental hospital.
These are the things that a Nazi is, and
there’s nothing polite or honest about it.

Southpark and Mohammed - art imitating life
The big issue of the day today in the blogosphere is Comedy Central’s admitted censoring of a cartoon image of Mohammed on last night’s Southpark episode (see here and here for background).

Jesus has made fairly regular appearances on South Park including well known appearances of Jesus covered in feces. Yet they refuse to show even a cameo of muhammad.

It’s funny, everything he has written on this site is absolutely correct, and he is very emotional regarding this.
You folks call him a hater and a “nazi.” Well, the word nazi means “nationalist.” So, I’m proud to be called a nazi as well.
You can’t refute his arguments, so you call him names. His argumens are facts, and they are 100% true.
Two percent of the American population has far too much power in this country. They ARE responsible for the degenerate slime on MTV, and constant race mixing propaganda.
This country was hijacked, largely in the 60’s by these jews, who have turned this nation into a communist multiracial hellhole where there are metal detectors in public schools.
Both of California’s Senators are jewish women. I thought they loved “diversity” so much?
You people need to wake up. You are brainwashed. These jews control the media. they shove Howard Stern and Jerry Springer, and Maury Povich in our faces, just destroying every aspect of western civilization. They are the lawyers, the judges. They own the media, the government.
You think George Bush is running this country? It’s been proven that he is actually inbred several times. He’s a puppet just as Clinton was.
“Neocons” are destroying America. They hate it. They are exporting all the jobs, dissolving the borders. Neocon means jews who trostkyites who realized the warlike Republicans would fit their agenda better and infiltrated it.
There’s not a damn thing conservative about them.
And yes, 9/11 was an absolute inside/Mossad job. Those buildings did NOT collapse by fire.
Grow up you pathetic childish sheeple.

Cynthia, if you’re threatened by the likes of Howard Stern, Jerry Springer, and Maury Povich, you better move to France. They scare easy, too. And in fact, they’ll sympathize with your feelings about Jews.
As for the correct meaning of the word Nazi, it’s an abbreviation (Abkurzung, as they say) for national-socialist.
Alles klar? Thanks for shopping.
April 14th, 2006 at 8:09 pm
Alright, as long as you are on the record defending vile nation wrecking jews.
Why did you post this story? It’s clear you don’t care about solving the problem. Let’s get those wasp “liberals” who own MTV. They don’t exist.
Clearly you’re threated by MTV. Why don’t you “move to France”
You are such childish sheeple as has been said. “Move to France?” What?
Yea, France has been America’s ally since it’s creation. Britain has been controlled by jewish bankers since forever.
France will elect Jean Marie Le-Pen, a white nationalist.
Once again, you refuse to respond to our facts, you tell me to move to France…what are you 12?
A filthy jew named Murray Rothstein is responsible for this.
France isn’t destroying America. Muslims aren’t.
Jews are.
These aren’t “feelings” about jews, these are facts.
You tell me to move to France…damn you are a moronic piece of trash.
Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, Jackson would run the jews who own MTV, CBSNBCABCFOX the hell out of this country for good.
You post a story about MTV mocking Jesus.
I point out who owns MTV. You attack me and that other fellow. You are cowardly slime. Wonder why America is going downhill fast? Wonder why little girls dress like whores and sluts? Wonder why abortions are happening nonstop?
Who was behind the feminist movement? Those wasps Betty Friedan, and others, I guess.
Blame those wasps for the incredible divorce rate, splitting up children’s homes.
You are scum. You are an accomplice of these evildoers destroying our culture.
It’s easy to attack MTV. You will never attack the jews who own and control MTV. Once again, you attack France.
Jews hate France. You hate France. You are brainwashed by jews. The French are my brothers and sisters.
The jews are now about to attack Iran, making damn sure we know we are in World War Three, yet another jew war.
Why haven’t you signed up for the military yet? You lying, phony scumbag.
