A couple days ago, a friend decided to express his views on the Kathy Griffin "Suck it, Jesus" comment at the Emmy's. I thought I'd share it with you because while not exactly praising Ms. Griffin, James actually applauds her comment as one of the most honest he's heard. He goes on to express why he finds other celebrities (namely the one's Ms. Griffin referred to before telling Jesus to "suck it") worthy of his criticism:
Why does it not offend us when celebrity after celebrity thanks Jesus, yet their lives and films show very little (if any) of actually following him? And do we really think that the Emmy Board is spending time in prayer and fasting to determine who Jesus thinks is the best actress in a comedy series? Doesn't thanking Jesus for an award imply that Jesus prefers Ricky Gervais over Charlie Sheen?
One of the things I've always appreciated about James was his ability and willingness to portray a topic in a rather unique perspective. Of course, there are days that I think it's nothing short of a miracle that he hasn't attracted any hate notes yet.
It seems a lot of people thank god for a lot of things. So they think god is responsible for everything? Why don't they say, thank god! when they get sick or there is a tragedy? I know, I'm being shitty today, I have a tooth ache. :(
He will, get the haters I mean. :(
