Fox News attacking Larry David

[mitch cumstein]

Fox News' top story is yet another example of just how amateur they really are. It's totally twisting words to paint "Curb Your Enthusiasm" and Larry David in a bad light. They basically took nothing and made it into a front-page story. Unreal :o

And the story comment by the Fox News' herd of Christian extremists is equally shocking and clearly shows they are as dangerous to America as Islamic extremists.

I'm sure it was a coincidence, but that was the funniest episode since Larry ate the Christmas cookies.

'I thought it was a monkey!'
'The Baby Jesus is not a monkey, Larry!'

How Fox News is presenting this is an outright travesty. Read some of the headlines they stuck on it. I can't believe they are getting away with this.

It was a good episode.

This is what happens when web editors go web hit crazy. Many sports sites do this as well.

Calling it a travesty is being dramatic. It's an overblown article. Nothing to see here.

I thought the politics board was dead.

It's only dead when certain people are grumpy.

From Sepinwall's Twitter feed:

Catholic League prez mad about latest Curb, asks, "Was Larry David always this crude?" Short answer: Yes.

Catholic League prez: "Would (Larry) think it's comedic if someone urinated on a picture of his mother?" Also yes.

This seems to be the week for people (Microsoft, Catholic League) discovering that tasteless comedies are tasteless. Way to pay attention.

Andres Serrano approves.

I thought the crying Jesus was a very funny moment of the worst episode I have ever seen in the series.

Well, then I must admit that Faux News does an excellent job of riling up their Christian Fundamentalist herd with this rubbish.

I know it's a minor point, but in all fairness the article is a column on Fox New's gossip page, "411" -- their version of TMZ.

 

[mitch cumstein]

It was their top story for most of the day, complete with a big photo and suggestive and deceptive headline. ::)

The falsified "poll" attached to it is amusing as well.

Gotta love Bill Donohue's "well, we know HE'S A JEW!"

I believe the Catholic League exists only for easy, TV-ready outrage.

 

[mitch cumstein]

It's funny that most of the Christian idiots posting comments are giving the example "Well, let's see how much he laughs when someone pisses on the torah."

Unfortunately, they have never watched the episode they're blindly judging, or any other episode, otherwise they'd know that the whole show is basically one big joke pointed at Judaism. Even the holocaust isn't spared.

Faux News: We draw out the anti-semites, Fair and Balanced.

If there is a bigger douchebag on earth than Bill Donohue, I haven't found him.

And Curb has been hilarious this year, last episode included.

For the record, he didn't **** on Jesus. It splashed.

If I remember correctly, in the very first show Larry was browbeaten to apologize to Jeff's parents because they heard Larry refer to his wife as "Hitler," and they were offended because they had gay Jewish relatives who died in the Holocaust.

That's not what Faux News wants you to think.
