Haridham Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 I was watching this Episode of the tv show "The Family Guy" A cartoon that is quite funny. It has an Idiot Dad, a talking baby that tries to kill his mother, a talking and most intelligent member of the family which happens to be a dog, a son with low self asteem and a daughter who is self conscious. Now what was funny was that in last nights episode(a rerun) the idiot dad was talking to his wifes father who said he was glad he married his daugther. To which the idiot dad replied "oh thank you Jesus" The next scene is Jesus in the sky saying "wait I didnt do anything" All of a sudden a blue, fourarmed God appears and says "dont worry, its ok. It happens all the time" I thought it was a funny way to dipict Visnu. Hare Krsna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 What are they trying to say in the cartoon as a joke. Vishnu is God and answering Jesus's surprise???? or they are saying that more than one God exist and hence confusion prevails like this????? Anyways the joke was nice to read Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gHari Posted October 25, 2003 Report Share Posted October 25, 2003 I guess they never heard about the anti_Xena riots of '99, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaurasundara Posted October 25, 2003 Report Share Posted October 25, 2003 Bigger things have happened. Have any of you seen that 'South Park' episode where those three silly kids team up with Jesus, Krishna, Buddha, Lao-Tzu and Moses, in order to defeat the evil DAVID BLAINE? Now that was one hilarious thing! /images/graemlins/grin.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 25, 2003 Report Share Posted October 25, 2003 Are they atleast giving any good message at the end to the kids which does not remove any beleif in God at the end of episode or they just make fun of God. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaurasundara Posted October 26, 2003 Report Share Posted October 26, 2003 I don't know about any "good message" as the cartoon itself is a bit of an adult comedy. However I did not perceive anything that could be taken as offensive, lest we can be assured that there would have been a national outcry. It was quite funny ti watch, though. The only "offensive" thing I could see was that Jesus did not have enough power to defeat David Blaine, this is why he needed the help of the other gods.

Haridham Posted October 27, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 I never saw that Episode. What was Krsna's role in the southpark episode anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaurasundara Posted October 28, 2003 Report Share Posted October 28, 2003 Krishna was part of a team of 'gods' to defeat the evil David Blaine, because David Blaine was the leader of an evil cult meant to take over the world. Tongue firmly in cheek. /images/graemlins/wink.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
