Catholics Rip Larry for Whizzing on Jesus

Urine taken for 'miraculous tears' by Curb characters

Share

(Newser) – The US Catholic League has complained about an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm that shows Larry David accidentally urinating on a painting of Jesus hanging in a bathroom. Other characters then think the painting is miraculously crying. "Was Larry David always this crude?" asked angry league president Bill Donahue. "Would he think it comic if someone urinated on a picture of his mother?" A statement from HBO said the humor of the program is "always playful and certainly never malicious," reports the Telegraph.

They have fast-tracked a few Curbs in Australia using the 'Seinfeld Reunion' pitch to sell it in primetime (total bullshit ploy, but anyway...) Did the faithies get annoyed when Larry took a 'Jesus-nail' off his father-in-law's neck to fix a mezuzah to the doorway? Were they pissed when he got into a brawl with Joseph because he was leering at the Mother of God? Nope. Get over yourselves...Larry routinely mocks many things...very lightly, and always in good fun. And of course, if you are offended, as Christians, is it not your duty to forgive him? Reply

You think Christians actually know what Jesus preaches? By their actions(constantly) they display complete ignorance of the teachings of their supposed god.

Funny things, Catholics. The bible clearly says "Thou shall have no graven images" yet they WORSHIP all sorts of crap and place high value on wood shaped like a man with a beard, clay moulded like a mother holding a baby, oil colours in the shape of another (completely different-looking, but both called "Mary") woman, etc. CREEPY bastards.

Yes, Catholics get offended by a comedy show yet cover up the priestly pederasty within the walls of their most holy places. It's religion, so it doesn't have to make sense.

Larry did not "wizz"--while pissing, a bit put off by the portrait of Jesus over the toilet b owl (!) he splashed a bit--that happens to men also at a certain age (enlarged prostate)...It was the woman that interpreted the bit of water as tears... Reply
