    That seriously disturbed me. I'm sorry, maybe I'm too into my Christianity or whatever, but I was honestly offended from that.

    Agreed, but mostly by the humor they were trying to get out of it, rather.

    Well, I wasn't offended by it, but it wasn't funny. Buddy Christ from Dogma, now <i>that</i> was funny.

    Well, I am a Roman Catholic, so obviously a bit tweeked.

    But even if I weren't, the fact is there WAS a dude named Jesus, so was in fact disemboweled from behind with a cat of nine tails, forced to lugged some wood up a hill, nailed to said wood, and hoisted up, spit on and laughed at for nearly a day before they shoved a sword in his side.

    A spoof like this is analogous to a crack at the World Trade Towers: it's sort of a in bad taste no matter who you are.

    True true, but myself also being a Christian I can see where you are coming from. But still people make jokes about 9-11, and some are funny and some are horrible, the same goes for WW2 jokes. The way I see it is that as more time passes people are able to joke about things that were very serious in the past (for some people a shorter time that others).

    If it were a comical fake advertisement for the more cheerful-looking <a href='http://shop.store.yahoo.com/jsbstash/budchrisdass1.html' target='_blank'>Buddy Christ</a> figurine some of us are familiar with, it might be more acceptable. But a few punchlines, imagery choices, and wording in this flash push it over into being offensive.
    Like others, I still chuckled at the tip of a hat to Indiana Jones with the "accessories."
