Nobody can say that I don't give these things a second chance

So I watched the second episode of "Popetown" yesterday (yes, I know, shock and horror from the good RomCath section). I don't think that I am going to watch the third or any other episode. This is just silly and really not all that funny. Furthermore, I am disappointed by "American Dad" so far. Not as funny and/or edgy as "Family Guy".
What I am not disappointed by is the surrounding area. Very cool and very quiet, even though I have very clearly missed the opportunity to harvest nettles and dandelion for Ddiod Fain.

I thought Father Ted was really funny :)
But then I think it is healthy for organisations such as the church to be able to laugh at themselves once in a while :)
What is 'the pope must die'? Is that a programme too?

Oh, don't get me wrong

I think that "Father Ted" is very, very funny.
"The Pope must die" was a so-so comedy with Robbie Coltrane, a bit like "King Ralph" in the Vatican. It portrayed the head bishops as money-grabbing arms dealers (you know your church history, you know that this is not entirely unfounded). Which is about the worst thing I could think of that "Popetown" is insinuating about the church. An infantile pope on a pogo stick just doesn't count as blasphemy.
