Matt Walsh said and I agree, The trouble with something like this is that its simply meant to provoke a reaction. So by reacting, as I am now, I suppose Ive given this fool exactly what he wanted. But I believe teaching moments like this should be utilized, even if it means unintentionally satiating a humorless, attention-starved, cowardly bore like Seth MacFarlane. Obviously theres nothing remotely witty about any of this. Its provocative in the cheapest, most mindless way possible. Yes, its offensive, but offensive like a dog defecating on the carpet is offensive. This is what we learn about many in Hollywood and many who watch and admire them -- they have nothing to say. To them, sacrilege is bold merely because its sacrilege, not because the thing being defiled necessarily deserves defilement. They just look at something and think, oh, lots of people love this, I guess I should mock it. But even that instinct is tempered by their gutlessness. Can you imagine a TV show ever airing something like this featuring the Prophet Muhammed? No, and not just because they fear repercussion from Muslims, but because they fear that theyll lose the adulation of liberals. You cant disrespect Islam like you can disrespect Christianity. In fact, you cant disrespect anything like you can disrespect Christianity. And if you disrespect Christianity, youre automatically a genius. Hands down. No questions asked. Those are the rules of the game. I find it all pretty boring at this point, to be honest:
