Found: The Missing Link

They told me that they wouldn’t serve me unless I wore a shirt, but they didn’t say I had to button it….

News was released today of the identity of the actor to play the part of Bubbles in a new docudrama on the Michael Jackson saga.

Well. The image that I chose for today’s caption contest was far more provocative of comments than I certainly expected it to be.

Perhaps if I had directly attacked the image of Bill Clinton superimposed over an image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus (e.g., "How outrageous!"), rather than satirize the image as I did (e.g., "St. Billary of Hope"), my intent would have been better understood. My intent, to make it clear, was not to hold up the image for approval but to inspire more humorous satire.

I don’t think the posting of the image for purposes of taking jabs at it was blasphemous or sacrilegious, or I certainly would not have posted such an image on Jimmy’s blog. It was edgy, yes. It was an example of the religious overtones of American politics, yes. One could even say that such parody skirts poor taste. But poor taste is not the same thing as blasphemy or sacrilege, which are grave matter.

In any event, the image did offend the sensibilities of the readers here at JimmyAkin.org, something that I did not intend and for which I apologize.

Mea culpa.
