Hindus upset with Jim Carrey & NBC

Post by jimliker »

I knew this was going to happen.
The script writers should be apologizing & NBC for approving it.
Not Jim Carrey, he was just performing what was in the script. :cry:

Hindus are disturbed over the portrayal of Lord Ganesh as a sex act on NBC's Saturday Night Live (SNL) and want apologies from all those responsible for it, including actor Jim Carrey and NBC.

I'm sure that Jim had no intentions of ever trying to insult anyone including followers in the Hindu religion.

Looking at how it was portrayed and with the lack of knowledge about this Lord (me), I see where a lot of people would be offended.

Jim's very respectful of faiths.......SNL should apologise but no-one should be demonised......

Yeah. SNL should at least reconize the situation.

I would believe that SNL will issue something regarding the sketch.

ok. this is just negative press. That show was obviously shown to all types of religious/ethnic people/groups. With an audience that big, he's/they're going to offend someone.

Take Ricky Gervais and Russell Brand. . . even his new wife Katy Perry. They're offending people more than Jim does. WHO CARES?

can we move on? The next thing Jim does is he'll be offending every other animal in both of the artics for only doing a movie with Penguins. The Polar Bears, seals, killer whales, and emperor penguins will be writing nasty notes to the director of the movie for not including them in the film MR POPPER'S PENGUINS.

Ok...I understand the Hindu's asking for an apology but now the Hebrews and Buddhists?

I don't know if this is being out of hand or what but this is starting to be a little dramatic for some other cultures.

I agree with Fluffy. This is sounding too dramatic to even be true. Starting to sound more Tabloid than ever. Nothing personal, jimliker.

I agree Fluffy.
I could understand what Jimliker was saying about the whole thing but now another few cultures and religions who don't follow this Lord like Hindu's do, it's retarded

I guess everyone wants to have a piece of the pie when it comes to tabloid rumors or when a camera is focused on something that doesn't even concern them.

Ugh!
