Maybe around where YOU're from, but it's certainly not around here. Or anyplace else I've ever been, for that matter.
And if you consider joking about certain aspects of different religions on TV "religion bashing", you really need to find a sense of humor.
I think Sinead is right. While it may not be culturally acceptable to blatantly bash religion, potentially disrespectful language is used all the time. For example, people say "oh my god" over and over without really thinking about what they are saying. It is said completely out of context. Worse, people use the name Jesus as a cuss word without thinking either. Jesus F****** Christ anyone?
Just a theory, but I think eyebrows would be raised if someone came on the CM and said "Prophet F****** Mohammed" or something similar.
Yes, no, maybe?
