Especially with such easy targets perhaps a wee bit more subtlety might work better. It ts what we have become conditioned to in the post-<i>The Simpsons</i> world. Still it was useful in bringing up one's own prejudices. My first reaction to the Paisley character was a low-life "haw haw" but then I found my initial reaction to Gerry as his braying donkey not so favourable and I expect others might have had a mirror reaction to mine. So in that sense it worked by offending all equally but not much influence of Swift apparent or Homer (the Springfield philosopher) either. Smiling' Jim. You're right. I have slipped.

Their humour is so boringly predictable. At least we have no tubby Mary Harney in this (so unfunny lauighing at fat people). Their granny rule football one was funny but if you compare this skit scat to The Life of Brian, it just shows waht a load of dickheads Irish comedians are. I cheked out a DVD of a Tommy Tiernan show recently; it was odd watching the Irish laugh at their own emptiness. As regards making "fun" of Christianity, two points: 1. one needs a sense of humour to do that. 2. one shows a lack of imagination and therefore humour by zeroing in on the Nativity stuff. If you think this is funny, try to get out more. The Langerland cartoon shows a lack of originality on many fronts. Their humour is so boringly predictable.

I respect your right to believe in whatever you want but those of us who think Christainity is a glorified fairy tale have an equal right to laugh at something that pokes fun at it in a very funny way.
