Un-fecking-believable. 'Saint Bill Clinton' ignites religious rage.

Like Peeker said, it's in bad taste, but not that big of a deal, in my opinion.

I can agree with Daj, and Peeker, but, I mean, if you get past the supposed "blasphemy" it's a dude's head that got his dick sucked by an intern while he was the prez, denied it, and then admitted it, on a saint's body, and looking all classic painting looking, it's kind of gigglish

There are jokes and then there are insults. It's up to the individual to decide when that "line" is crossed. I just couldn't believe that someone came up with this image. That's all.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I will admit I would not have thought of the joke myself. I guess in my case, I grew up on "Monty Python's Flying Circus" and have been a great fan of their movies, and it was all in good fun. And our Mr. Clinton has been more than a little sanctimonious at times hence the "Saint Bill" is to me so preposterous as to be funny.
As I said, the bib is where that "line" was crossed in a major way for me.
I found that to be disgraceful to the nth degree.
I wish I could say I was truly shocked by it, but after so much of the tasteless crap I've had to turn off of my TV, Radio etc.. it's just another bit of imagry I'll try to delete into the 'Trash file' of my brain..to hopefully be emptied ASAP.

People take themselves and everything around them too seriously....Oooh he painted an image of CLinton reminiscent of a painting of Jesus.....Why don't the same people get angry that Jesus is represented as blonde haired blued eyed Nordic white male in "legit" paintings??

What a drag, I'm a Christian and I think the Clinton is funny [img]biggrin.gif[/img] It's obviously making a statement about the man himself and the way he carried of on some of his err...affairs. And he does tend to get rather sanctamonious at times, especially when referring to himself [img]wink.gif[/img]
There is no where in the Bible where it says:
"Thou shalt have no sense of humor"
"Thou shalt become an uptight fart"
"Thou shalt not laugh at ANY religious parody, satire, or anything resembling said material"
To me the Clinton thing is very "Monty Python".

I will say that I feel the "I love Abortion" Bib is disgusting in it's tastelessness, but would also feel that way were I an agnostic. I would no more want to see an "I love war" or "I love cancer" bib, t-shirt or whatever. Some things , while they can be necessary, or unavoidable, just aren't funny on a human level you know?

OK, I'm off my soapbox for the morning
