South Park Lampoons Catholic League’s President

On last Wednesday's episode of the Comedy Central show South Park, Catholic League president Bill Donohue appeared as one of the cartoon characters, along with a figure of Pope Benedict XVI. The Easter script depicted Donohue chastising the pope for being "too soft." Donohue then takes over as pope. When a Jesus figure appears, he has both the pope and Jesus arrested. After Jesus is killed by Kyle, he resurrects and kills Donohue.

Donohue commented on this today:

"I have no idea why South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker caricature me as a heartless thug. In any event, I stand convicted and have no defense. Now I have to get back to business — I hear someone just took some liberties with the Easter Bunny."

    How is it that the rest of the world has yet to figure out just how pathetic and puerile are South Park and its writers?

    Come on now, Warren.

    You mention "pathetic and purile" as if that were a bad thing.

    Pathetic and purile sell, my friend.

    Ah, if we had only recognized back in junior high school that the boys giggling over four-letter words scrawled on the seats of the school bus had discovered the pinnacle of cultural wit and sophistry.

    I just knew Cartoon Network had nothing for me without Bugs Bunny on its regular schedule.

    I guess, too, that I just don’t watch enough (or, any) MTV to reflect on the ‘haute couture’ – to cross-register our satire – we now have.
