IMAGINE A CARTOON CALLED ‘JEWTOWN’!

Aspers Distribute Anti-Catholic Cartoon “Popetown

Dear Free Speech Supporter:

Can you imagine the following animated cartoon series for television? It’s called Jewtown and it deals with a town of Hasidic Jews outside of New York City. A rabbi molests children and runs drugs. Others in the community abuse their wives. Some run fake diamond and other scams. The Jewish religion is regularly shown to be superstitious, foolish and hypocritical. It’s a real knee-slapper. Do you remember seeing that cartoon series? Of course, not. It wouldn’t get produced in Hollyweird. Even, if by some fluke it did, no one would dare distribute it. Any station daft enough to show it would be boycotted and probably charged under a variety of “hate” laws and human rights codes. If the station were in Canada, the CRTC would lift its licence to broadcast.

We all know that. Yet, such respect and decency does not apply to the Catholic Church. “New Zealand’s Roman Catholic church has asked its followers to boycott a Canadian-owned broadcaster for screening the cartoon Popetown which it says portrays greed, inappropriate sexuality and bestiality in the Vatican. The Pope, the church says, is ‘depicted as a cretinous, dirty, spoiled brat . It also implies a predilection on the part of one Vatican-based priest for exotic animals in a way that suggests moral degeneration of an appalling kind.’ CanWest Global Communications Corp, an international media company, is Canada’s largest media company.
