NBC's Conan O'Brien: Jesus Gay
Conan should be thankful that Christians aren't in the business of killing their enemies. Recently, a skit on his show featured this "country song":
Jesus doesn't need me to defend his honor or anything silly like that, but let me tell you what I'm going to do. I'm going to write the nice folks over at NBC to ask them why they let this bigotry on their network. I'm going to ask why is it considered comedy to make fun of the main figure in the Christian faith? I'm going to ask why Jesus? I'll probably even include a statement like, as long as O'Brien is on the air, I won't watch NBC--which is absolutely true.

Oh I love you JesusThis is stupid, religiosity aside. This isn't funny. Conan O'Brien isn't Funny. Conan is NBC's greatest failure.
But only as a friend.
You touched my heart but I hope
That's where the touchin' ends.
You're always lookin' over me
When I need a higher power.
But you better look at somethin' else
When I'm in the shower.

I don't think he was making fun of Jesus, I think he was making fun of people who are intensely homophobic.
