      @doodah and to say the environment would be hostile? You know nothing of that a complete made up idiotic remark, laws and morals form without religion, just with experience buddy. God is an unnecessary component for sad little men. That feeling you get that makes you think you know god is real (cause you feel it) and loves you is just a neurological condition hahahaha

      @doodah you would never have been born if torture/rape/incest/murder/thievery/everything else bad never existed either. That works with absolutely everything, as it took everything to get to now, but you never realized that did you ;) pathetic. btw I thought of that when i was in middle school...enjoy you sad comfort system!

      Gee Wiz, you can still enjoy The Charlie Rose Show-Website-Blog. Just ignore me. .. :)

      My last post and then moving on...Just wanted to see if DooDoo had anything else ridiculous to say...

      "Joe Camel..Joe Camel" I actually do like to go by

      "Joe-Schmoe" - An awesome pen-name, really (:

      I'm VERY happy that people like to be concerned with Fiscal and Budgetary Fanaticism - Good for you, Dagobagh - seriously !

      It's just that I get confused, when below on this blog, you say such thing's as "You wouldn't have been born, if it weren't for religion", or stuff like that. That seem's to be a crazy, outlandish religious statement. You do know that people are able to conceive children while employing sexual position's, other than the Missionary one, dont you? LOL !

      I'm just sooooo surprised that Dodah ( yes, the word-play is over) gets so bent out of shape (rightfully so) about the antic's of Hollywood and the sensationalized-type media, yet overlook's the many, many, many (whew) many times that the Southpark cartoon has satirized the eccentric Hollywood types and the decadent lifesyle that typically accompanies it.

      One only has to look to the 3rd to last show of Southparks 14th season ("The Coon Vs Captain Hindsight")where BP is magnificently satirized for their reckless action's that has caused one of the worst ecological disaster's that North America has ever faced. As the Ceo of Bp ( Tony) is shown saying...."Sorrrry...We're Sorry ! Sorrry ( while lying naked on a bear-skin rug)". I hope to heaven that Dodah doesn't think that the oil has vanished and all the sea-life will use all the BP junk as their new, awesome "Habitat".

      There is much more depth to Southparks constant "toilet-humor" than what Dodah is aware of.

      Yes, shame on parent's for having Southpark Cartoons babysit their children...or "The Litttle Mermaid", or whatever, while shoving cigarettes into their mouths. But shame on Dodah for his constant ignorant statements that have no actual grounding.....On a Charlie Rose Show Blog nonetheless !

      I thought that I could come to this forum and escape all of the polemic "fiddle-faddle" that I see on ALL other News networks. Perhaps it was my mistake on wanting to take a look a forum that concerned the Entertainment area of the Charlie Rose Website. I guess I will have to stick to the more "serious" categories of this website in order to avoid such ridiculous statements that Dodah has made, numerous times on this page. ( I hope !)

      Seriously, if I wanted to read a bunch of ridiculous baseless statement's in a forum - I would stick to the AOL newsblog...Hahahah!

      Joe Schmoe ----signing off....for good !

      yeah, I got two words for that comment, 'Joe Camel'. 'JOE CAMEL!'

      ...and no 'religious fanaticism' here. More like 'Fiscal and Budgetary Fanaticism'. I stand on my honor, Guilty as charged. At least I can own up to my guilt, which you'll NEVER see an UberLiberalLazyHypoctite do.

      Doodah wrote..."I find these UberLiberalLazyHypocrites, not just annoying, but PATHETIC." ?????

      I'm sorry but, the Southpark cartoon satires and makes fun of EVERYTHING ! The show has been around for 15 years now - you think that some people would get a clue!

      Look, I have 2 toddler's and there is NO WAY that I will let them see even a 'snippet' of this cartoon until they are in their teen's. Isn't it Ironic that Southpark is actually one of the few running show's with LOT's of Ethical Values discussed within the Outlandish and disgusting satire?

      It seems that foul-mouthed "Doodah" or "Dooglaboo" is really criticizing a particular style of negligent parenting and not the show itself. If Doodah actually watched the Charlie Rose interview under which he posts his comment and/or actually watched the show - Doodah would have heard that Parker & Stone, are not out to "attack" the Mormon religion. If Doodoo watched an ENTIRE episode, he would find that the Southpark cartoon makes fun at EVERY religion and Politically bent way of thought - Especially Doogabas acute sense of fanaticism -ESPECIALLY RELIGIOUS FANATICISM !

      yuh see.? That's where you're SO WRONG. RELIGIONS (First and Foremost) are the stuff Myths survive on.

      If you're going backwards, that's ALL you'll ever do (Just like Trey & Matt here)(but fortunately for the likes of them, worshiping to the alter of Hollyweird gets them lots of money. Just like those Sugary Snacks and those new push-up bras for 6 year olds. If there was no promise for eternal punishment for sick shit like that, I might have to punish the pigs Myself.

      Having never seen South Park, nor this musical obviously, and since nothing substantive was said about it here, and I have only seen a couple reviews, I shouldn't attempt an analysis of it. However, I can't think of anything more religious in its way than Hollywood, et al. And despite their equal penchant for exhibitionism, I'd say the Mormons aren't very religious in the same sense, so I come to the conclusion that this is either another typical adolescent, anti-fascist diatribe, or, since I understand these two think all religion hypocritical, that they have a very poor understanding of it. The reviews suggest they find the Mormon missionaries it concerns naive and unrealistic, but the same could be said equally of the Hitler Youth and Junior Achievement, of course.

      Tho the (actual) Book of Mormon and the attendant circumstances surrounding its creation is undoubtedly so much mumbo-jumbo, because Mormonism, in many respects, denies the sort of divinity of Christ particularly fundamentalist Christians believe, Mormons find themselves at odds with a lot of contemporary culture, not unlike Islam. Mormon men are strongly urged to spend time as missionaries at their own expense, much the same as this country once required military training, before parents of gentlemen such as these bought their sons' way out of it, substituting the poor, who join the reserves to make ends meet, and used this circumstance to send them off on politically motivated junkets in the Middle East and Africa. While missionaries they are expected to remain romantically unentangled, and young couples, or those with dependent children may not serve. On humanitarian missions abroad, they are not supposed to proselytize, as I understand figures in this spiel, and certainly not baptize. The American defense establishment aside, missionaries and missions are not, in any case, peculiar to those of the Mormon faith. In addition, the Church of Latter-Day Saints has developed as many fissures, and the same controversies, as most other faiths.

      At the moment, too, it appears this show is aimed at one of the likely presidential candidates, and in support of the anti-Rwanda policies of the current admin. Whether intended as an illustration of scapegoating or not, reprise of "Blame Canada" is timely since NATO announced earlier in the day that its Libyan mission will be led by a Canadian general.

      Literary critics seem to have gone to extraordinary scholastic lengths to describe lampoons such as theirs, but they have a very, very long past, and it is not so simple to conclude their motivation. The analogous idea of lords of misrule goes back well beyond the Romans, and is quite different from popular protests over traditional customs, like cockfights, temperance, and bundling, which we might consider libertarian, since they seemed opposed to the sort of "puritanism" that developed into Victorianism. But misrule is in fact part of the practice of scapegoating, and probably involved in the very idea of Christianity, as noted long ago by James Frazer in The Golden Bough, who was certainly no religious hypocrite, to wit: "Certainly in nothing is this alchemy of thought more conspicuous than in the process which has refined the base and foolish custom of the scapegoat into the sublime conception of a God who dies to take away the sins of the world."* But it may well be that scapegoating is less the hypocritical projection of our sins onto an innocent, or some high church sacrament, but a ritual reminder, like the catharsis of a Greek tragedy, of the trials and tribulations of the development of morality. Simple comedy, on the other hand, just rewards behavior we like and ridicules bad. To put it in another way, the subject could just as well be about the Book of Job, as the Book of Mormon, and it is not the mostly generation-x and y morality play that Ben Brantley, for instance, seems to make of it, and which seems to have been the authors' intention.

      It has been a long time since Broadway musicals have had no such agenda, especially since 1970, which is likely why there've been so many reruns and rehashs.

      *Frazer's complete discussion about this is in the unabridged edition of his work, Part VI The Scapegoat. It may be found at the Internet Archive.

      Myths are the stuff religions survive on.

    10. doodah  03/27/2011 04:56 AM Report

      robd, You can be certain, if there never was any religion you NEVER EVER would have been Born. In fact, even your great great great great great great great great great grandparents would have NEVER EVER BEEN BORN. That's how hostile the environment would have been. Monkey families are very dysfunctional (Long before it was 'cool' to be dysfunctional).

      I learned that in one night of community college. I bet in Four Years of University, that aspect of cold hard reality never crossed your mind. ... :)

    11. robdverity  03/26/2011 06:36 PM Report

      dood - From your own superior intellect below: "...ALL the social ills and Evil that you claim to be CAUSED by religion would ALL still be 'reality' EVEN WITHOUT RELIGION."

      Which ipso facto makes religions meaningless and at best a useless distraction to real solutions - if they indeed exist.

      Darwin doubtless agrees my brain DEvolved from a monkey. Presumptuous of you to insult monkeys like that.

    12. doodah  03/26/2011 05:53 PM Report

      robd,

      Your arrogance impedes your capacity for Truth. If you could just look a little deeper into the Truth, you would understand that ALL the social ills and Evil that you claim to be CAUSED by religion would ALL still be 'reality' EVEN WITHOUT RELIGION. Which by itself is a ridiculous concept, because ALL human psyche is born with religion, just like you're born with a brain. Even staking your claim of, 'NO GOD' is an act of FAITH in your know-it-all monkey brain.

    13. robdverity  03/26/2011 05:15 PM Report

      Haven't seen / heard this so my input is illegitimate. My antipathy to ALL religions compels me onward nonetheless.

      Mormonism is particularly specious in that it seems to need to wrap their peculiar idea of Christianity?? with American exceptionalism????? So they created their American version of an anointed one with the ironic name of Joe Smith. A mockery turned on its head? I hope.

      Religions are all so fatuous and degrading to our species they will - as a preemptive truth - cause the ultimate extinction of the species. All the while claiming to be our salvation. Beelzebub has to have infiltrated a mole in every religion extant.

      Catholics for example in their misogynistic bent threatened excommunication to an Iowan nun who wanted to become a priest. Priests on the other hand that molest children are not only not excommunicated, they are transferred and protected - to molest some more. The most evil institution on the planet.

      We will doubtless prove our stupidity and elect Romney. We are earning our place in extinction by our repeated jingoistic choices. A third party is overdue.

      "Four Foul Mouthed Fourth Graders" - Ha Ha LoL

      These Fools talking about 'working hard', yeah right, if either one of these sissys got a splinter, I can see em crying like the little bitches that they are. I find these UberLiberalLazyHypocrites, not just annoying, but PATHETIC.

      I know a Mom who uses their 'foul-mouthed' cartoon to babysit her 6 year old. She has a lot of problems (as do the majority of Americans), and 'trying' to censor her kid from this filth that the kid loves so much BECAUSE IT'S A CARTOON. Of course, these UberLiberalLazyHypocrites can fen THEIR responsibility for contributing to the delinquency of minors by blaming 'the parents'. But How is what they DO, any different from what the Tobacco/Cigarette companies PACKAGING their EVIL FILTH in a neato-torpedo, Cool, wrapper/box with a neato-torpedo, Cool CARTOON CAMEL on it; to suck the lungs and money right out of those little rascals pockets, ANY DIFFERENT.??????!!!

      They are lazy focking ASSHOLES! .. Now ATTACKING somebody's Religion!?
