GM & Chyrsler: For the reason above as well as government owning a piece of them.

AT&T: Spot on ... with the worst customer service in the world. Even after the government broke them up they are allowed to rebuy all their assets and f*** the consumer more.

Capital One: Should be prosecuted by the government for spamming in email and snail mail. Their advertising budget has to be the highest of any bank and their customer service is shit.

Chase: I have my mortgage with them and they wanted me to pay them so I could make payments on the 15th and last day of each month to save interest. They also sent me three letters describing how I could get out of my PMI (primary mortgage insurance) early only to send me a new letter saying I had to do more. They also stole two months of escrow payments from me when they f*** up my account because of tax payment issues. After all this I paid almost a year of extra PMI, and the two months of escrow payments.

Time Warner: These dicks were behind the NFL network being moved to the higher subscription rates and pissing off millions of football fans across the country for the Thursday night games. They also raised their monthly rate every year I had them as my carrier. Satellite is a million times better.

I forgot the biggest one ... THE US GOVERNMENT. I could write a book on things I hate coming from Washington.

[quote="Fever"]Wow...looks like Larry David got his reaction![/quote]

Yep, I feel like I'm sitting on the sidelines of a tennis tournament watching the ball bounce back and forth.

So how you doing today, Fever? Feel like grabbing a pint?!! I'm sure if we go and come back, they'll still be at it!! Wink

Imadad, you CLEARLY do not unerstand the point of the show. So, no, you are not allowed to be offended. All you have done is judge based on an out-of-context article/webpage.

BTW, nobody cared when It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia did the same joke.

Not allowed to be offended? I take the desecration of Jesus Christ very seriously and that is what this joke did. I don't care if it was protrayed as an accident or not.

Let me see if I get this correct. Larry David splaters urine on a picture of Jesus and cannot tell the woman what happened and that it was an accident because she thinks its a miracle. I think that is the jist of it. This show is written, rehearsed, and then filmed. It clearly shows the intent of a Jewish writer to desecrate Jesus, who the Jews think was nothing more than a prophet, and insult those who believe in Catholosism or religious aspects similar to Catholosism.

It is illrelevant what the freakin' point of the show is. That act clearly offended me. You put it in any show regardless of actors or actresses and I would be offended. He did not need to use a picture of Jesus to send his message.

Who are you to tell me I can't be offended? Bigs put up a Hell of an argument with me but he did not have the balls to say that.

Well, technically, I'm sure it wasn't actual urine that got on the painting. I doubt he was actually peeing during the shoot. I'm sure it was water.

I understand why you are offended by the act, I don't argee, but I get it. However, you are reading into it far too deeply if you think it's some sort of deep seeded shot at Christianity by a Jewish man. I'm not a huge fan of the show, but I've seen it enough to tell you that there aren't hidden meanings in the jokes. It's a pretty simple show. Getting pee on the picture wasn't the punch line of the joke. If Christians can't take a joke on themselves about the rediculousness of what people call "miracles" then they need to lighten up a little.

I mean do you get upset when Jay Leno makes fun of people who think they see Jesus in a potato chip?

Yes I am telling you that you are not allowed to be offended.

You do not understand the CONTEXT of the show. You are removing one piece and focusing on it...in other words, you can't see the forest through the trees."

I made my argument several times and no one cared to respond to it.

The show is supposed to be parody of rich, classless, lazy "intellectual" celebrities living in LA. It is show making fun of them and the things they do. It's not a "straight" show with jokes...like say "30 Rock" or something.

You act as if he ONLY makes fun of Christians. If he did you MIGHT have a point. But he makes fun of Jewish people. And homosexuals. And black people. ANd white people. ANd mexicans. And homosexuals. AND LIBERALS. The list goes on...SO its not just Christians and the end of his jokes.

So yeah, get over it you sissy.

You are missing my point. Because Jesus was used in that on joke of that one show I was offended. If he accidentally pee'd on Mohammad and the followers of Islam were on this board saying they were offended, I would understand instead of calling them a sissy.

This has nothing to do with the context. It has to do with the name used in the joke.

If he pee'd on the chip and then said "Hey, check me out I am pee'ing on Jesus" then I would be offended. The act of urination is a disgusting a vile act if done on someone or done on an image. That is why I am so offended. Yes it was done accidentally in that show, but once again, it was a show that took weeks to prepare for and another image could have been used.
