Pffft! Monty Python has been satiring religion for years... though more on the side of the followers and leaders than the religious figures.
These new crop of Jesus jokes are showing that more people can push the envelope. Every other Family Guy has a Jesus joke in it, for example. Maybe this could be in step with the large Christianity movement, maybe it's not, and it's just getting safer to do stuff like that.
BTW, I am not commenting on religion, myself. I'm on the subject of the new crop of Jesus jokes.
As for Adult swim... due to my lack of cable, I've only seen bits and pieces of this and that in hotel rooms and friend's houses. I never even saw ATHF until my cousin gave the 4th volume to me for X-mas last year. I still want to pick up Harvey Birdman. I wanna see the Flintstone thing.
Too bad Nickelodian never thought of something like this for Nicktoons. Rocko, Zim, and Ren and Stimpy coulda got new leases on life.
