I saw this and am just amazed that Comedy Central wants to do this. They lack the stones to show Mohammed hiding in a bear suit and yet don't seem to see the inappropriateness of this.

Conference call: CARB protests Comedy Central series JC
conference call staged by Citizens Against Religious Bigotry (CARB), which is protesting a decision by Comedy Central to air a new series titled JC, a satire of Jesus Christ and Christianity.
Bozell talked about a glaring double standard at Comedy Central. The outlet refuses to air any satirical content that targets Islam, but has no problem airing criticisms of Christianity, Judaism, and other religions. Bozell says JC is designed to be offensive to Christians. We know they are jumping up and down with glee at the publicity CARB has created, but they feel the need to speak out regardless. Eighty-three percent of Americans consider themselves Christian, but you dont have to be Christian to be offended by anti-Christian bigotry, Bozell said. No decent company will want to sponsor this show, and they plan to make that clear to their list of sponsors.
