X. Benedict Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Yeah, having sex with God is pretty much an accepted truth according to those crazy Mormons, right? Don't they believe that God literally had sex with Mary, or something along those lines? Not sure about the Mormons. But there sure is eroticism in Canticle of Canticles and mystics such as John of the Cross. In the 14th century spousal mysticism became very popular with women, and their diaries tended to be quite graphic accounts of lovemaking with no intended contradictions - they were brides of Christ. For men, the side wound of Christ was fetishized. But I really shouldn't go into that. Most of this stuff really didn't come over from Europe because of the reformation and the influence of Irish Catholicism which was, shall we say, "just not into that stuff."

DrDawkinstein Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Insightful doesn't necessarily equate to entertaining, which, last I checked, was the point of comedy....no? So what you may find insightfully humorous, others may find insightfully unengaging. So I disagree that it's not a matter of opinion. i dont think its a matter of opinion either. i just qualified it with that statement to say that whether someone says its their opinion or not, there is insight in her work. and to say there isnt, is wrong.

SilverNRed Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 the entire point of the song referenced earlier was based around "jewish people driving german cars". she was basically calling out all of the rich jews she knows/sees/deals with that play the victim of the holocaust and say they live as devote Jews, but then turn around and buy a Mercedes (or even a VW). those car companies are here today BECAUSE of Hitler and the Holocaust. they supplied the Nazi's with vehicles. her entire point in that song is calling out hypocrites. but then she says something about her vajayjay and calls some black dudes the N-word and you guys get all flustered and are too shortsighted to see the real point of the song. those points being 1. religious hypocricy 2. a joke with a message. I would've used this information as evidence that she's just not that funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckeyemike Posted March 9, 2007 Author Share Posted March 9, 2007 I would've used this information as evidence that she's just not that funny. I guess this is what I was trying to say all along. But, I found it offensive. Once again, I will admit that. And it takes a LOT to offend me. Many of you must find me to be a prude at this point, judging by some of the responses on this board. I don't think I called anyone any names up to now...even Sarah Silverman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, what was your take on that, just out of curiosity? A good friend of mine and I are both Catholics....he's the much better example, but my faith is still very important to me. I loved Borat and pretty much can't get enough of the guy, whereas my friend refuses to even see the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buftex Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 No it isn't. I saw her show once and never bothered to come back. I've seen her stand-up and would basically never go out of my way to see it again. I just really don't care or see why anyone thinks she's so great. Saying or doing outrageous things without any insight isn't that funny because, like I said, anyone can do it. I just said she wasn't funny. And that "crossing the line" by taking shots at Jews and Christians isn't really crossing the line anymore because it's been done to death. Who cares? Who cares? Why are you bothering to post then, if you don't care? For someone who "doesn't bother to see things" you really are authorative about most things. I notice that as on ongoing theme with you. The whole concept of this episode (which I have now seen in its' entirety) was that so many people turn to god when they are in trouble, but turn their back on him when their prayers are "answered".

Someone started a thread about Sarah Silverman and I chimed in with my opinion. You're the one who took it up ten notches with "you conservative tough guys..." I said I didn't like her and then I said why. Calm down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apuszczalowski Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Lets face, everyone is always going on about freedomn of speech and how people need to "Lighten up" or "take it with a grain of salt" until it affects them. Basically what I'm saying is that, If your black and enjoy listening to a black comedian making jokes about white people, you better feel the same way about that same comedian making fun of black people too Or if you Jewish and you like listening to Jewish comedians making catholic jokes, you better feel the same way about Jewish jokes. Sarah Silverman entire act revolves around making "shocking comments" and jokes about her "vagina". Thats it, shes going to say something offensive about everyone, I doubt she actaully believes in what she says, its only because thats her way of getting a laugh from people. people laugh because its usually so offensive that people think she has to be joking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, Borat has been banned in Russia and in most Muslim countries. I never said Sarah Silverman should be banned. I don't believe in censorship, partially because I spent four years at a Christian college, where saying certain things could get you expelled. And because political correctness, in any form, is simply wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
