Jul 17 2007Home Simpson offends Pagans

Homer is more pleasing to look at than the giant penis and nipples...

# 1 is so right, Homer ftw!

Once again, crazy religious nutjobs trying to combine science and religion. It's a good thing I worship the almighty D'oh-nut.

Man that'sdisturbing! A dude with a club and a boner... Easy way to get laid I guess...

D'OH!

That club is just barbaric form of roofies.

and at least Homer has the decency to wear underwear in public.

Okay, I've been kidnapped and taken to a dark room. They sit me roughly in a chair and a toughguy says to me in his best Alec "fucking" Baldwin voice, "You must make a choice, you have to be boned by either Homer Simpson or Cerne Abbas. Who's it gonna be?"

Of course I state the obvious, "Neither" I say. "No", he says, "it must one or you will die today."

Now there is your classic conundrum. Do I get boned by Cerne, the guy with the big club and the gigantic wiener or do I go with Homer, the guy with the smaller unit but sweats profusely?

Maybe I should just get back to work....

Did they seriously say "rain magic" in the same context of "scientific interest."?

Lets see if Homer can toss the donut around the massive erection.

"Pagan" isn't even a specific religion. It's a term coined by Christians to simply mean anyone that's not Christian. Uptight people ruin my day once again.

There's a "Pegan Federation"? Who knew...
And I thought that it was just we fundies that got our undies in a knot over this kind of thing.

is it just me or does the cerne abbas look like something college students would make to win a contest.

"lets carve a giant naked guy with a hard on and uneven nipples waving a club in the ground" ..."thou'th brilliant!"

#8...I was wondering the same thing.

Let me see if I get this clear...
Worshippers of a man-with-erection-and-battle-club figure complaining about aesthetics and scientific interest and threatening with rain magic?

You´ve been skipping your medicine again, haven´t you?

It's our Homer! That is awesome.

who's the dude with the boner though???

Why the effing hell is his nipples below his pecks?

Well maybe at least Homer will get a few rounds of doughnut and boner ring toss in before they work their rain magic. Or more elusive kind..the "pagans in the cover of night with buckets of water" magic.

Wow. You'de think they could have found a more family friendly ancient artifact to deface. Why didn't they just go carve it into the side of a pyramid or something?
(Seriously though, I doubt a little painted grass it going to affect something that's been around since the 17th century)

I want someone who's handy with the computer animation to show us how good Homer is at ring toss :-) Bring on the .gif!

I don't see why these pagens are complaining. If anything this will bring more tourist to see it let alone let people even know it exists. They should make quite a lot of money off this free publicity

Did they seriously say "rain magic" in the same context of "scientific interest."?

That's not the point. It's just odious that large companies like Fox can just paint hillsides and ground around history or something someone considers sacred (no matter who) and it's ok. Yeah, it's all in good fun, but it also talks volumes of the disturbing reach of marketing.

surely being a mad pagan does not negate a sense of humour. get a grip hippies! its just a bit of fun.

The disturbing thing is that I agree both with the first °and° second statement, and I just can't decide.
So... I'll go to sleep.

#8 - my thoughts mirrored almost to the letter.

#20 - Well, it's not THE point, but it is A point. I don't think beckyg's has any less relevance than yours. In fact, I think that some (admittedly OTT) advertising salvo that'll wash away with some rain is far less disturbing a prospect than a world perpetually filled with people who think that magic is a real force to be reckoned with.

Who is Home SImpson?

All I have to say is: Spider pig, spider pig, does whatever a spider pig does!

Okey, I'm a Neo-pagan, so #10, please inform about before posting.

Paganism isn't a religion, you're right, it's a group of religion based on the belief of mother earth (take a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/neopaganism).

However, I don't feel that there's specially offensive. I mean, I've seen worst mocking around Christianity in Family Guy...

Finally, about the "federation", I just want to say that THERE IS NOT A "VATICAN" OF PAGANS. The practice of this religion is personal, and there ain't an organization that represent each and every one of us, so this guys are complaining about what THEY think is right, not representing every one of us.

PS: one of the things you get for becoming a neo-pagan are godly-like boners.

COOLEST. PUBLICITY STUNT. EVAR

This is so American, take something that American's know and love, then push it upon a foreign country.

The Simpsons will gross the biggest profit ever.

Wait -- someone's offended by the Simpsons? That never happens.

mmm.. yes, rain magic... very scientific

That is the biggest dick I've ever seen in my life.

The only thing that could possibly trump that would be if a god came down to earth, and swoosh, decimated half the planet with his junk.

THOSE AREN'T NIPPLES. Hot drops of pagan man juice shooting into the air.
