Possible cover-up regarding an offensive skit
Michelle Malkin cites a FIRE article (originally found by Joanne Jacobs) that leads to a press release on the gross double-standard Florida’s Indian River Community College has when it comes to Christians:
Florida’s Indian River Community College (IRCC) is engaging in a campaign of repression against a Christian student group for attempting to show Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ on campus. In November 2004, the college banned the Christian Student Fellowship (CSF) from showing the film because it was R-rated, despite the fact that the college has hosted a live performance entitled “F**king for Jesus” that describes simulated sex with “the risen Christ.”
What's interesting is that the FIRE page includes this link, which should go to the skit's script. It doesn't. It bounces back to the FIRE page. I've tried a different browser, tried to access the script from the main script page, and even had someone else online check the link. All resulted in the bounce back to the FIRE page. I had to find a cached copy of the script page through Google. I think someone's trying to cover up something here.
CORRECTION: It actually turns out that the script apparently has been replaced by some kind of corrupted copy of the FIRE press release. Looks like someone did a bad cut-n-paste job from the source for the original FIRE page. It must have been done today, since the FIRE press release was posted only today. Bizarramundo!
I guess the people at NoShame.org felt quite a bit of shame over this particular skit.
UPDATE: Welcome fellow Michelle Malkin fans! (Or "welcome back" to some of you.)
UPDATE 2: Here are a few more links to other skits offensive to Christians that NoShame.org should be feel shame about:
Godburger
Father, Forgive Me
The True Meaning of Easter(n)
Movie Review: The Passion of The Christ
God's Law MUST Be Obeyed
And those were the easier ones to find due to their titles. I don't see anything that jumps out at me as being about Allah, Buddha, or any other deity or religious figure than those of the Judeo-Christian religion. I'm actually not particularly surprised by that.
UPDATE 3: FIRE has replaced the link to the altered NoShame.org page with a link to a copy of the script on their own website. (I may be responsible for that as last night I emailed the Director of Legal and Public Advocacy for FIRE about the change to the NoShame.org page.)
[Hat tip to "Xavier" of the TheologyWeb.com forums for verifying this for me.]
