Beautiful, right? It is in the eye of the beholder I guess. Some think Raphael's images of the Virgin Mary were beautiful. Pish posh. He is so 16th century. Besides, defenders of the arts proclaimed, "It's not the Virgin Mary. It's a painting". Touche.
I guess Ofili was trying to out-controversy the feisty Piss Christ by Andres Serrano. In this artistic masterpiece, Serrano photographed a white crucifix submerged in the artist's own urine.
Pretty awesome, right? I mean step aside Goya and Picasso. This is real Spanish art.
So what's the big problem with South Park's images of mohammad?
Is your sacred image in feces? Is he being burnt and used as toilet paper as Torahs were during the Nazi era?
yes- you are offended. As am I by the images I placed above. And people should have more common sense and sensibility. But the call to anger, the threats of death show a level of ignorance and quite frankly evil that is not tolerable in democracy.
So if muslims demand to live in a society that conforms to their laws, then by all means they should return to Saudi Arabia. Just like Mexicans demanding Arizona provide them with free education and health care should return to Mexico.
This is America. Is can be so free that it offends your deepest held beliefs. And I'd have it no other way.
To you Comedy Central, TV Station that has offended me hundreds of times over with anti-Catholic humor, I say way to go! You have proven you humor is truly gutless and your courage is only skin deep.
Yes, this time the terrorists won. And that is no laughing matter.
