Blasphemy
Andrew Sullivan, for whom I have the highest regard attacked the picture above as blaphemous. (Indeed the site has now changed it).
The thing I find funny is that people act like it is a spoof on Jesus when it is in fact a spoof on a DaVinci painting. Christians complaining about this need to lighten up.
I don't find it any more offensive than the last super scene in "History of The World Part 1"

My second reaction to this (my first was, "Andrew Sullivan, grow up," which is why I no longer read him) was almost relief.
It felt like a return to pre-Iraq War stupidity, instead of the vile, planet-killing stupidity we have now.
