I think having Wendy (playing the virgin Mary) giving birth to Jesus in the begining was going way to far. I love South Park (its my favorite show and the only show on TV I watch now that Duckman is gone) , but that part was just to offensive for me and half my friends watching the showwith me. I hope they never do anything like that again.

but that's how life begins! yes, we don't associate the pains of labor with the birth of Christ but i'm sure their was some discomfort. i remember a few years ago getting a christmas card with the "very pregnant" virgin mary standing outside of a motel with the no vacancy sign lit! it took me back at the moment but once i thought about it - it was funny.
lighten up! just enjoy the joke!
i happen to disagree. when cartman dressed up like hitler, myself and my friends, a bunch of jews, thought it was hilarious. it's just a t.v. show, it's just a joke, get over it.
what kind of sick person would hold the baby jesus fetus upside down? sick sick sick. :-)
I guess you don't understand the social commentary in South Park. While they do make this commentary somewhat at the expense of certain minority groups, religious sects, etc., their message in the end always has to do with accepting people's differences, you know, tolerance?!? What they basically do is have characters that represent actual people and roles in society. Usually what happens is a very ignorant person (Mr. Garrison) says something very ignorant about a religious group or minority (Mexicans, Gays), but what they are pointing out is that people that think like that (out loud) are complete assholes. Especially when they are exposing young children to these attitudes. Cartman is an example of children that end up thinking like that (notice Cartman's mom is a Christian and always accepts his ignoant comments about Jews, Black, and gays). Stan (for instance, in Big Gay Al's Boat Ride) actually learns to accept people with different (not white and Christian) lifestyles and attitudes.
What's funny here is that you are perfectly representing one of the groups in the crowd that was fighting over the representation of Xmas in South Park. They get all up in arms about what offends them (even if it has to do with a silly idea of a bearded white guy in the sky) while remaining completely ignorant to what is offending others. Did you noticed the moral of the story?
2. The Christmas play represented what the world would be like if we just got rid of all the cultural differences that make the human race diverse and wonderful. Everybody was so stuck on their own views that instead of trying to represent everyone's religion/race/whatever and celebrating diversity, they just got rid of it all. And the only thing left that was similar was SHIT (Mr. Hanky).
Anyway, this is why I was so amused (yet still disheartened) when you said that the Cherry Mary thing was going to far.
If it was a troll, eat me. I'm still glad I wrote this because there are tons of people that think like that.

AMEN brother!! And i even thought Wendy's labor pains sounded real!! of course i aint heard to many labor pains in my little old life, and when i do, ill bet they arent coming from some barn. I couldnt agree with you more here Wayne. The whole point of this episode was for people to just ditch that particular frame of thinking, "this is what is right for me so it is what is right for everyone else in the world" which is a very similar mental pattern to many famous and influential people in history, like Adolf Hitler, or like those loveable KKK members, and the whole "kill the heretic" mentality of the 0th century The point is not to get pissed off just because something you see on tv doesnt fall into your guidelines of what is "right" "moral" or whatever the hell you want to call it, and to just enjoy the show. so enjoy it, cuz it aint gonna change.

what people don't realize is that Matt and Trey and following the number1 guideline if you want to make it in america...offend someone.
Southpark has made fun/expressed opinins about religion, homosexuality, race, poverty, sex with animals, profanity from kids, violence, etc...and when one group or such bitches or complains, what does that do?... It sparks more interest in the show, which results in the show getting more popular...The more people bitch, the greater SouthPark gets.
If you watch it with a frame of mind that anything can and will happen...then you won't be offended AND you'll actually enjoy it more.
And jsut to show a point...the birth of Jesus didn't "offend" me near as much as Cartman pleasding to God and then saying "my god has forsaken me", which is what Christ said just moments before he died (well, actually, he said, "My God, why has thou forsaken me")...but thats another story for another newsgroup...

Why would Jesus speak Mayan?
In my English class senior year, (I swear this is true) my teacher told us that there was a new theory that while Jesus actually did say, "why have you forsaken me", this was actually a code phrase he had set up with the apostles earlier, and that it really meant, "We'll meet up in the sepulcher on Sunday."
--Baby Morris
My English teacher told us that she doesn't read male authors. You can't always believe everything you hear. They tell you a lot of shit in school that isn't true, you have to learn to pick the fact from the bullshit and political agenda. And a note to TAO. There was another point where Jesus supposedly said "Father, Father" He actually said, "Daddy, Daddy." in the original text. Little trivia question there.
I just had one observation...
Why couldn't Kyle be Joseph??? Joseph was a Jew. (Really... who believes their kids know squat?)
Jake
Wendy... I thought the labor pains were believable!
Kyle WAS joeseph, but I noticed the same thing. Kyle could have played anyone BUT baby jesus fetus and he still would have been playing a jew (Except maybe the wisemen, i don't think they were jewish).
Jesus was a Jew!
Hehehe, point taken. A controversial jew, but a jew nonetheless.

Despite being a Christian, I'm not offended at all by Jesus' appearances in the show. He makes some good points with what he says, and all in all is treated pretty nicely in the script! His birthday party made a good point, actually -- the "birthday boy" was getting ignored on his big day (loved the "Last Supper-like" table on the Jesus and Pals set, btw). It was similar to a film on SNL that showed Jesus being disappointed that most people on TV were forgetting the main point of Christmas.

I think that was the *point* of the satire--that some people have gotten so caught up in all-inclusiveness, they miss even the most academic points. I think that's probably why the line has Kyle's mom saying "Joseph of Arimithea" rather than just "Joseph" -- to telegraph the point that Joseph *was* Jewish.
The funny part to me is that Joseph of Aramithea was not Mary's husband. He was the man who supposedly took Jesus' body when it was removed from the cross, dressed it and donated a tomb for the burial.
In article ,
Yes, *I* know it was the point. Every year, the holidays become more and more politically correct. It was a shock to my non-SP-fan friends that the episode ridiculed the PC-ness of the holidays so clearly. (It's almost a relief when it gets to "Happy New Year" -- something you can say without fear of offending someone.)
I especially appreciated the addition of the "tree-huggers" who objected to the cutting down of Christmas trees.
Carlotta
I really loved the fact that the christmas special took shots at all of this political corectness surrounding christmas and offending people. Its gotten to a point where people need to lighten up a bit and South Park did a great job at pointing that out. The Christmas play was my favorite part, with minimalist composer whatever his name was putting on a new age, non offensive, holiday musical. God bless south park for going out of their way to make fun of policital corectness. This posting really has no point, but I felt like saying something!

That was an error. The writers apparently confused Joseph, the husband of Mary, who was present during the birth of Jesus, with Joseph of Arimathea, who is mentioned only once in the Bible (Matthew 27:57) as the person who donated his tomb for Jesus to be buried in.
(You could also argue that Kyle's mom was being depicted as ignorant about Christianity.)
A legend also grew that Joseph of Arimathea was the first custodian of the Holy Grail.

Monty Python could have a lot to do with this. Undoubtedly the creators of South Park saw that movie. Perhaps they remembered the scene where Brother Maynard translated the inscription on the cave wall and exclaimed, "It's signed Joseph of Arimathea!" A person not fully familiar with the Bible might incorrectly assume that this was the full name of the more familiar Joseph, husband of Mary.

Sorry it was offensive to you, but that's South Park. Think about it. Third graders having to show childbirth in a school play? I thought is was funny, plus the fact that the "fetus", as Mr. Garrison called it, sorta looked like Starvin Marvin. The whole show was great..this is going to a tough call between this episode and "Starvin Marvin".
Oh please, You telling me a little piece of shit that talks is ok, but a girl pretending to give birth is way too far? Whats up with that? You think that Mary didn't have any pain when giving birth? You must be kidding, That was one of the funniest parts.

Back then you could wear a bicentennial belt buckle and a t-shirt with iron on letters and you would be too cool for school.

The genius behind the Christmas episode is this: by removing all elements from the school play that were offensive to different special interest groups, they created a non-offensive play. Ironically, it offended everybody because it was so fucking awful. It's called social commentary, and, as has been demonstrated by Kyle's Mom, it hits the nail square on the head.
If the show offends you, then stop watching it. But as in the Christmas episode, don't bitch and moan until you ruin it for the rest of us. Bitch!
