I just think that it's PC as hell for everyone else to jump him without any acknowledgement that the JJLC shit could be (and, as it turns out, was) very offensive to someone else. If you go back and read those particular posts and try to imagine the viewpoint of some true believer, you have to realize that, even though the popular stereotype of the fundamentalist christians is fun and all, it's not true for most, and it's offensive. We can't just be careful to avoid offending popular groups. (Oh, lord, I said that Jews were popular. Somebody's gonna be pissed.)

I dont get it. Jesus said he made the joke bc Jesus was a Jew in response to "are you roman catholic" and then made the footloose comment which was clearly facetious if not that funny. What exactly was so offensive? The fact that Virus misconstrued the joke does not mean that its true intent was offensive. its Virus' fault for not getting it and then responding with a racial slur that sounded explosive from my screen.
