Benson, really?!?!?
My goodness get a clue and lighten up! for realz.
Send your tirade regarding joking about religion to some of the greatest Stand-up comedians ever, ie Richard Pryer and George Carlin (not that I’m comparing Biff to them – far from it).
benson – People perceive the BVM in wood stains & omelettes, for heaven’s sake. Seeing an image in a tree bole is no different. It’s your own perception of what else the bole may represent that turns Biffy’s remark into anything offensive – nothing inherent to his post.
“You’re going to get a piece of my mind tomorrow”
– you better save it; you’ll need it.
“Do you have no decency?”
– Yes, I have no decency.
“Are you that contemptuous of other people’s religions that you will use one of their most sacred concepts as fodder for a cheap and lurid joke?”
– Yes
“You think you’re so funny?”
– Actually no, and I was really surprised that I won the PLUSA award last year for Best One Liners. Shows that PLUSAs have very bad senses of humour.
“I’ll bet that you’ll stick to mocking religions that have the decency not to stoop to your level.”
– You mean stoop to my level as in what you just did?
“Biff- I just found the face of Moses on a potato chip.”
bxgrl, I would have replaced potato chip with latke, but that was hilarious nonetheless.
biff- do you have a cool outfit showing chest hair that you’ll be wearing in the ring?

(George Carlin ripping on religion)
Rule of comedy:
NO TOPIC IS OFF LIMITS FOR JOKES!
(if done right)
And Benson, please learn the difference between what is offensive and what is funny.
cobblehiller – I wasn’t aware that is your situation. I am very sorry to hear it. I hope things get better for you very soon.
I’m going to get a drink and a bag of fritos and sit back to watch the big BIFF and BENSON BRAWL of 2010.
Can we get a priest and a rabbi in here as referees????
“If you don’t believe that you’ve crossed a line, fine. I know where you stand, and we’ll take it from there.”
The Octagon? Cool, I have some leftover pictures of ring girls I can use.
