  • I'd think Christians who believed in the 10 Commandments would applaud such artwork. The 2nd commandment says "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth." I've been wondering that about crucifixes. Wouldn't that count as a graven image? It's a likeness of something that is "in heaven above" and that was "in the earth beneath." The artist pissed on a graven image.

  • Imagine if someone put a racial artform on museum which insults one race in particular, let's say for example white people whipping black slaves. I'm sure the entire community will want it destroyed but REMEMBER, art is just an expression. This is what happened to this event too, we should respect people who believed in religion and they should respect us, Atheist aren't neccessary right and religion people aren't neccessary right too.

  • @blackdeckbox Atheists are definitely right. Religion is of course wrong. There are works of art with slaves being whipped that haven't been destroyed by black people. I'm a rational human being, and so you couldn't make me angry by putting anything in piss...unless I owned it or subsequently handled it.

  • @Snakepliskinist Good thing it wasn't a picture of Muhammad with a dick coming out of his forehead or things would have been A LOT uglier.

  • religious people dont understand any art that dosent glorify their faith.

  • I consider myself to be a moderate/semi-radical atheist in the sense that I believe that religion is destroying society and is fundamentally wrong but I will not go to the extent of vandalizing religious figures. I'll take a stand if people get too crazy but people have the right to believe whatever they want. I'm proud of the fact that people are getting smarter and realizing that believing in god is BS. With luck atheism will consume over the next few hundred years and things will improve.

  • WELL DONE TO THE PEOPLE WHO SMASHED IT UP. LET'S PUT A STAR OF DAVID IN PISS AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS. IM NOT CATHOLIC BUT I WILL TELL YOU THIS.. AT LEAST THEY HAD THE BALLS TO STOP THE ZIONISTS ! I WOULD HAVE BATTERED THOSE GAURDING IT AS WELL. THEIR ADDRESSES AND IDENTITIES NEED PUTTING UP ON THE INTERNET.

  • I'm glad they destroyed that filthy art.They did the world a favor .

  • hmmm so let me see....(using cenk's jokingly smug demeanor) how shall i show people that religion is misused in today's society...oh i know! i shall piss in a jar and put a crucifix in it! oh come on what is this shit. i dont believe and find this to be stupid plain and simple. i cant believe a museum in france of all places would put this disgusting thing on display. i can totally believe american museums would do it because americans are most commonly idiots.

  • @SubwayRatt- It's not about what you think is appropriate though is it? It's about freedom of speech and artistic expression. He isn't hurting anyone, the only person to actually be harmed in this whole thing was the artist as now his amazing work has been destroyed by a bunch of redneck low-brow God fearing retards. Because that's what Christians are, MONGOLS who can barley utter a cohesive thought let alone appreciate mindful art.

  • @SubwayRatt well religions put its disgusting thing on display for centuries .. only fitting eh

  • Threatened death, thievery and destruction of an artist and his piece to protect an idol, a statue, which the Bible strictly forbids. Any supposed Christian who stole, destroyed, threatened death to protect a statue will go to hell. Remember your commandments. Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth. DO NOT WORSHIP PAINTINGS OR STATUES!

  • @amayagab catholiques do not worship idols or paintings no catholique says the statues orpaintings are divine . you would not understand not being from france. t'es un americain casse toi

  • @AllezThierryHenry Pauvre con qui dit encore des stupidités. Dieu a dit de ne pas construire ou faire de portrait de Lui même ou du paradis. Et oui, je suis Américain. Je suis née a Paris et quand j'ai eu 18 ans j'ai émigrée aux États parce que la France ne vaut que de la merde.

  • @amayagab va te faire foutre t'es un con dont worry about our problems. connard

  • @AllezThierryHenry It's not YOUR problem you ego driven cunt. It's a problem for art, religion, freedom of speech and social conduct. Now go shove a rock up your mothers cunt and watch her push it out so that she can finally give birth to something useful.

  • @amayagab fuck off. faggot

  • Im glad they destroyed it.

  • hey fat face turkdick, YOU annoy me.

  • How do the young turks make it? Their so just idk dumb? Their like kids who talk about drama. It's like highschool all over again. Although it was jacked up what they did to the piss christ.

  • We live in a world where meeting your moral obligation means becoming a gay Zionist atheist.

  • Christians burned down the Library of Alexandria. They can be whipped in frenzy much more than Muslim extremists look at the entire past decade until now.

  • Wonder how long before those fundies start burning people.

  • -fly a plane into a building

    Raving, fundamentalist lunatics.

    -Destroy a piece of "artwork"

    Raving, fundamentalist lunatics.

    Lol Young Turks at it again with their amazing logic.

  • You know.. Sure, destruction is ignorant. I think we can agree on that..

    Funny though, where is the commentary from these people when so called Anarchists wander through city streets and destroy random public and private property? Nobody seems to stand up and call them fanatics.

    Hey, religious fanatics are every bit as entitled to their miscreant behavior in support of what they find distasteful as anarchists are in destroying what they dislike in society.

  • I gotta pee now...

  • That idea is genious.

  • Comment removed

  • Face it. Any artist using the crucifix for "controversial art" is being totally unoriginal. It's overdone. All you have to do is google it and you'll see tons of photos of the crucifix being used by so-called "artists" just to get a reaction out of people. I thought art was supposed to be unique. Using the crucifix over and over is just mass-production in my opinion.

  • Nobody cares if some schmuck wants to be an asshole in private. But to display a picture of a jar of piss in a museum and call it "art" because it contains a crucifix is just a little antagonistic... Hired security? So crazy... I guess common sense just doesn't Cenk in to this monkey's thick skull.

    Leftist retardation never ceases to amaze... and btw, if you''re a practicing evolutionist, you should update your material. Darwin's "Origin" has been proven false over the last 150 years, retard.

  • That piece of art was probably the most tasteless, But many of those right-wingers eat sausage whole. And probably conceal the sacreligious piece of shit.

  • If this were a painting that serrano worked hard on to make then id be more sympathetic but sense all he did was piss in a jar and take a picture of it with a cross i could care less. THIS IS NO PIECE OF ART!!! are u saying if i took a shit on the floor and took a picture of it I deserve a place in a french art gallery. If it were a artistically painted art piece that insults the church then id be more sympathetic because it would be art no disrsepect to serrano i know he is a good artist

  • @JohnnyMonoxide how are those 2 things related? theres a difference in creating artwork that in your view desecrates a material object (the cross, which by the way is an icon and thus goes against the 10 commandments) and a depiction of violence, your KKK example, agains a human.

  • "but you dont understand! they desecrated a piece of PLASTIC! "

    why do we value material things more than human lives and the freedom of expression? i mean seriously, why do we consider desecrating a holy book or a holy icon (which i thought was an abomination. golden calf anyone? what makes a cross different?) far worse than slaughtering eachother over slightly different views over what amounts to the same religion? jews, christians, muslims all believe in the same god, same religion

  • @JohnnyMonoxide very well said Brother!!!

  • ahhh fucking young turk shit, what are you some ottoman bitches ready to slain again more Christians wile they slip huh? or rape innocent boys and girls huh hyenas, who are you to talk about what is wrong or right? you are the last of the last people in world too discuss about "truth" genocidal fucks....

  • In a sense, the destruction of this work of art has further perpetuated one of the purpose of Art, to open discussions and stir thought about matters of life...

  • What the FUCK is artistic about a plastic crucifix placed in some satanist fucktard's motherfucking urine?!?!?

  • @ivaflimkien my point exactly. there is nothing artistic about that. besides how does that convey the idea that religion is misused in today's society?

  • @SubwayRatt had a Christian depicted Charles Darwin, Richard Dawkins, Carl Sagan, or any other famous atheist exponent in piss, the world would have been up in arms against Christianity (and nor should Christians behave in so despicable a manner). Had the Vatican been up in arms against the portayal of Christ in piss, it would have been denounced as 'fundamentalist'.

    I don't know who is the fundamentalist or the intolerant any more...why not tolerate us and not put hate 'art' in public places?

  • @ivaflimkien

    Thats probably because Charles Darwin was actually an intellectual scientist and it is very likely that his Theory of Evolution is true.

    What the bible says on the other hand is most likely a lie and it even contradicts it self at many times.

    You see the difference between truth and lie, dont you?

    Also, none would have destroyed a picture of a "Piss Darwin".Maybe people would be butthurt, but they would not have destroyed it

  • @traluxi and who the hell are YOU to say what is a lie and what is the truth? Have you had a chat with God and he's told you everything, O mighty one? Oh wait, probably you are god, how stupid of me.

    That said, I believe in evolution, but I also believe God willed evolution to happen.

    In any case, condoning hate 'art' because you think that Christianity is wrong makes you the radical and extremist we both know you really are.

    A moderate atheist would have condemned it.

  • @ivaflimkien well if your presumption is the artist is a satanist.... WRONG.

  • @12brain12 well the crazy retard uses cum and blood (and once even shit) for his 'artistic' fuck. I don't know (much less do i care) what he believes in, but im prepared to bet my balls hes no christian or a moderate atheist.

    fucking hell, you people would probably destroy da vinci or masaccio's work for being 'fundamentalist' and change 'art' into this crazy shitty intolerant and hateful garbage.

  • Comment removed

  • Why do they call it The Young Turks and not the Young Jews?

  • @DJstoopnig because the founder was born and raised in Turkey

  • Well, at least they didn't issue standing death sentences to the museum directors, and make Andres Cerrano live in fear for his life. They didn't bomb any embassies due to it. Should they have destroyed the artwork? Absolutely not. However this incident does not compare at all to the moslem lunatics, decapitating innocent people over a koran being burned in the US. Sorry, poor comparison.

  • lol 

  • WOW, you just threw monkeys under the bus! what did monkeys ever do to u??? :D

  • I mean I can get the statement he is trying to make by metaphorically displaying the depiction of possibly hypocrites he may have encountered, or that some christians pretend to serve God yet refuse to commit their lives to him. The thing is, he is disrespecting many people who don't get it. He is also making 100,000 dollars by disrespecting Jesus. Money is the easiest thing that will corrupt a man.

  • Any man who would disrespect Jesus Christ like that, it shows how much he respect he has for God. Burning Qu'rans is a very evil way of showing your dislike for Islam. We as followers of Christ are supposed to get people to believe in Christ, we are not supposed to provoke Muslims into hating real Christians. Islam does not believe Christ is the son of God....that is probably the reason why bad Christians do wrong things. Nobody should Disrespect Jesus. Peace to all and God bless you all.

  • I dont know why people get offend either. Its just a sacred symbol that's being shocked in piss. I mean Its no different to burnings Qu'rans.....right? Only they did not murder 20 people over it.

  • The man in this video is pretty disrespectful for 1: comparing Darwins theoretical books to a HOLY BOOK, and for 2: thinking that it is ok to mix a Holy Symbol with Human waste. I believe he would also think it is ok to put any Holy symbol on top of a pile of feces and call it art. What a joke. That is not art, it is called disrespect and that man sounds like a little child, he needs to grow in understanding and learn some respect.

  • @lightservant1 yea i would prefer an actual christian defending the right to freedom of expression over this ignorant asswhole on tyt, its like if your family member was severely beaten,raped, or killed and some random asswhole went up to you and mocked you sayin its not a big deal

  • @joekikass3000 so you value material things so much that pissing on an inanimate object, no matter how "holy" you THINK it is that you view it on the same scale as some of the worst violent crimes against humans.

    get your priorities right, lest you find yourself sent to the bowels of hell for your sins

  • @acharris22306 I'm not glorifying the dstruction of art or comparing it to killing pple Im criticizing tyts delivery for sounding like asswholes, i'm not religious nor do i care about this work of art. but i understand that if you want to appeal to larger crowds of people your going to have fix delivery.So if you had a logical understanding christian explain why its wrong to burn art, then you will appeal to larger amounts of ppl that are christian but if you have arrogant liberal douchebags

  • @acharris22306 and with that understanding i also have a right to get a photo of your dead mother and soak it in my feces would you be upset , maybe but it wouldnt mean u worshipped the photo, you would because upset that someone close to you would be disgraced in such a manner, but no you don't have a right to destroy my art. I dont think any art should be destroyed, im just providing a little understanding for y ppl commiited this act, and i think if tyt could haveused reason insteadofmockery

  • Don't you hate it when you get busy and you keep putting off taking a piss, and you keep putting it off, and finally you just piss all over a mythological symbol ?

    Stupid physiological needs!

  • Just imagine the reaction if it was 'piss mohammad' and it was on display for everyone to see. That aside, I just can't understand that pictures of piss can be classified as art nowadays, it's just ridiculous, piss is not art.

    I'd happily smash something like that anyway (religious motivations aside) if it was ever passed as art. Way to go Catholics

  • One more example is a European league Soccer fan, what would Manchester united fans do if Chelsea fans burned a Manu Flag or insulted them. So comparing Jesus with Darwins theaory is not correct...because you dont care about evolution or Darwins theary...its just a theory but religious people respect Jesus or whoever on a personal level and that makes a difference. Hope you read my 2cents worth

  • What would happen if I do something to something you hold dear...You would get angry, but how you react would be based on your tempermant. But when a mob of people believe in something , be it a person or their country or their religion...You cant generally control how they react. What you should do is quit offending people in the name of art and freedom of speech.Your freedom stops where my freedom starts.

  • Hi Cenk and Ana, I listen to your discussions every day. But I beg to differ on this. What would happen if a White person put Martin Luther King's photo in his piss and called it art. What would happen if a Middle east arab put George wahsington's picture in piss or American flag in some insulting manner. It would enrage the people and people will do something about it. This is not something religious.... People identify themselves with a country, religion or respect a person.

  • you don't care because your not religious.

    and ur gay lol :)

    i dont agree for the people to going up and trashing it, but you kind of seen it coming

    Im kind of offended because its Jesus I respect him. when i see this It just hurts me.

    sure its freedom of expressing but be respectful.

    im going to take a pic of your dead mom and put her in a cup of my dark urine. and take pic of it and became rich

    yes

  • @bob47able The artist wasn't trying to disrespect Christ by photographing a crucifix in urine-- on the contray, he was baptising it in fluids which he considers precious. It is your own assumption that urine is foul, or that its use in this work implies blasphemy or an intent to shock.

  • Eventually people in this world will finally figure out that NOTHING is sacred except life..

  • jesus was an epic person who is ruined by christians

  • It's amazing what crap passes for 'Art' these days.

    Back in the day, you actually had to paint something.

  • @celt67

    Thomas Kincaide "paints something"---is that art ?

  • This dumb picture was still being shown? There is nothing cheaper than making some insult to Jesus, and then calling it art. Good riddance to a piece of garbage IMO. But he will probably just make another print.

  • PEXIglass?? WTF?

  • @tubeli99 XD lol She's a girly girl... don't ask XD

  • You don't care that it offends religious people? I'll remember that the next time you talk about things that offend racial groups.

  • @Wolfau5 Religion is a choice ,and it is also divisive.

  • @cwegers1 It is a perspective, it is a worldview, it is who a person is. Calling it a "choice" when someone is born into a religion, and many fear social exclusion or legal punishment if they leave is inaccurate.

    The point remains that saying "who cares" when group A is offended but not group B is hypocritical.

  • @Wolfau5 Wow.

    You are one dumb fucker.

    Dissing someone because of their skin color is much worse than dissing their religion.

  • @AgrivatedKillah Based on what rationale?

    Often times someones race can be difficult to distinguish (many blacks with "fair" complexions can look just like Caucasian's with a tan) or change based on environment, and often times religious views can be completely immovable (ie someone cannot contemplate giving up their faith). So I can see no rationale to say that Cenk saying "offending religion = fine, offending racial groups = travesty" is not him being a giant hypocrit.

  • @Wolfau5 Wrong.

    I've NEVER seen a "black person" that looks like a white person, EVER.

  • @Wolfau5 For one, black people, and white people have different textures of hair.

  • @AgrivatedKillah You've never seen a Michael Jackson video? Putting aside the fact that the guy looked like a freak, the colour of his skin was caucasian.

    Also You're creating a false dichotomy of "black" and "white". You have people like Halle Berry who has more Caucasian heritage than African-American, and could easily pass as white with a tan if she wanted.

    Hair can be dyed, straightened and conditioned.

    But this is largely beside the point that in many cases, religion is fixed.

  • @Wolfau5 What?

    He had VITILIGO.

    His skin wasn't naturally that color.

    Well.

    Black genes are more dominant than white genes, so theres one white parent, and one black parent.

    More often than not, the child is going to have black features.

    But She IS mixed, BUT I wouldn't quite say she has more white.

    People who tend not to be very dark get looked at by other races as mostly white lol.

    Look up "Michael Jackson - Bad" he used to have black skin, but ended up with vitiligo.

  • @AgrivatedKillah I'm aware that Michael Jackson had black skin, hence why I used him as an example of someone who's skin colour changed (though I'm not suggesting that black people go out and get massive plastic surgery). Again, back to the point, I'm saying that comparisons between religion and race are not as invalid as many like yourself would argue.

    Religion can be very heavily fixed at birth.

    Skin colour can change (naturally, environmentally, or through cosmetic surgery).

  • @Wolfau5 I agree.

    In most Western countries, not so much.

    but intolerance of other religions in the Middle east could possibly be seen the same as Racism.

    but.. not in the west[well except a few intolerant states in the south]

    There are similarities, but I wouldn't exactly put it on par with regular racism.

    If a war was going on against your religion, and some people from the other army ask you.

    You can change your religion.

    However if nazi's come to question you.

    You can't change your skin.

  • @AgrivatedKillah

    Many households would disown a child who admitted being an atheist, many families, it would strain the relationship, my grandparents divorced over different religious views.

    Plenty of people have been killed because of their religion (ie dragged into the street and beaten to death, stoned, decapitated etc) just as Black's in America were. I see little difference in outcomes.

    I'm not sure if the "you can hide your religion but not your skin" holds much sway with me.

  • @Wolfau5 "many households would disown a child who admitted to being atheist".

    Yeah.. lol i'm an atheist and I still haven't told my mother, and in a way i'm frightened to..but i' am sure she wouldnt disown me lol....but true.

    I can agree.. just not to the fullest extent. 

  • What makes the picture anything other than for shock value?

    Thanks for sharing your boo-hoo, whiners. So why protest a koran burning?

  • no one is worried about Jewish fundamentalists .... why is that ???

  • @suk0nepa Because they aren't relevant to americans, or to anybody, really. A tiny minority of a tinier minority.

  • Destroying art.. Nice.. real classy..

  • the picture is great

  • As a devout germaphobe I have always found Piss Christ offensive.

  • @quinnmcguee yes, i am reccommending burning in hell followed by lunch at the ritz

  • @dvi111

    Because Terry Jones is clown of the earth.

  • @dvi111 itd be different if he made a public case saying he was gonna burn the bible

  • @dvi111 One is "a piece of art", the other is just religious hatred against another religion?

  • wow

    dont disgrace the koran

    but its perfectly okay to MOCK christians

    i wonder why ?

    OH RIGHT because christians don't do go full retarded like retarded radical muslims

  • @dvi111

    a fucking men

  • @dvi111 because the consequences were much more severe.

  • @dvi111

    One is done as an art to show how religion is misused, and Terry Jones does it to incite violence using what Piss Christ shows?

  • I don't go to your precious catholic church and knock the dicks out of Jesus' mouth do I?

  • 1:13

    Continue The Artwork Tour, Ironically they improved the artwork! It has been updated to reflect the state of fundamentalism today surrounding Christianity- They feel the same entitlement issues as Muslims that they should be IMMUNE to public thoughts.

    WRONG! Now... Onto my own artwork.

    I call it Shit-Jesus

  • Hey tounishi, are youa muslim...? So you don't know shit about their culture , the people , or their religion. Thats like saying The KKK is full of white people so all white people must think the same way. Please quit hating on entire groups that you know nothing about. peace

  • There is the same amount of evidence for gods, heaven, angels, miracles and all that religious nonsense, as there is for ghosts, hobbits, werewolves, pokemon and unicorns, namely, none.

  • Im glad the Christians destroyed it. Thats not art its was just made to anger people.

  • @VigilanteNighthawk quick question : do you believe in love ? how can you prove love ? all this BS about what can you prove or not is ridiculous. Life is not just about facts, what can you prove or not. IS ABOUT WHAT YOU FEEL AND WHAT YOU BELIEVE in

  • @fackafacka

    Yes, but love is an emotion. The ability to experience it proves its existence. Feeling "God", however, does not prove God. If that is the case, then Buddhists experience Nirvana equally proves Nirvana. Hari Krishna's feelings of warmth at contemplating Krishna proves Krishna. See where this leads? As for your beliefs, you can believe whatever you like. However, if you want me to believe as well, then you must provide EVIDENCE.

  • @VigilanteNighthawk first i want to thank you, because your answer was respectful, Of course i do not agree, since i do believe that people experienced god trough all the history of human kind. Many positive things have happened because of people's faith. Many horrible things have happened because of religion, too,i agree, but also terrible things have happened because of science (wich is based on facts and evidence), so i guess it does not matter what you believe in, its what you do with it

  • @RHawkeyed i think its really important that people understand what you said : "atheism is not anti theism" I think people believe its cool to be anti religion nowadays, they are mostly teenagers with nothing to do. Lets respect other ppls opinions and beliefs.

  • @fackafacka "Lets respect other ppls opinions and beliefs"

    Oh please how the hell can you ask someone to respect opinions and beliefs, at most if the person keeps his stupidity to himself, I could consider respecting the person.

    A rediculous belief remains a rediculous belief.

  • "piss christ" is a beautiful image that blends the sacred with the profane and questions both.

    Of course, this will sail over the heads of most butthurt christians

  • This just proves how easy it is to troll religious fundamentalists of any stripe. For the Catholics, it was the Piss Christ. For the Muslims, it was the Danish Mohammed cartoons. It just astounds me how easy it is to whip a group of so called "adults" into a beast-like fit of rage with the simple display of a picture. I mean, a PICTURE for goodness' sake!

    One good thing that can come of this incident is that we now know exactly how to manipulate these people - perhaps for our own gain...

  • Well, what the fuck did you expect? You make something extremely insulting to a huge community, display it in museums, take pictures, etc etc, and you expect them to not do something about it? You'd have to be fucking crazy to think it'd go over smooth.

  • @Didymosrules I am an idiot? Hello you are the one refusing to talk to me so that you can't come to the realization that you are the idiot. How am I an idiot? You are avoiding the topic due to your fear. Not my problem. You lose.

  • now  we need shit christ

  • @Pull0utBoy or a piss/shit muhammad. I wonder what they would do to the artist if he did that instead.

  • @Pull0utBoy

    hey faggot watch your mouth

    my friends get bullied all the fucking time by retards like you

    seriously shut the fuck up

  • its funny how we cant burn the koran because thats offensive to muslims BUT go right ahead and ridicule christians

    This is one reason i hate liberals

  • Why are the Young Turks so aggressive mocking catholic idiots and so passive mocking Muslim idiots?

  • @SuburbanSlack they weren't passive didn't you see the story on the burning of the koran?

  • @SuburbanSlack cause cenk is from the middle east.

  • @Pull0utBoy that doesn't really mean anything though, because cenk isn't at all religious.

  • @Oxydox If they get mad at someone else doing that, that's called having a fragile faith. Of course faith is abhorrent so it's probably good that it's fragile, it shows that it is rubbish.

  • the shit people consider art quite crying and make another if it such a tragdy you cant stare at a picture of a guys piss. fuck it i will make it and even throw a pile of shit in there with it as bonus and call religous shit, the better question is why is that even consider art, what did it take him 5 min at most to do all this with a camera if it was paint and a brush i can see why people would be mad

  • thou shalt not be a bad peron for laughing at the said article, even Jesus e mailed me to say how funny it was

  • if this was a work of art making fun of gays or transgender. They would be all for it being destroyed.

  • @ubermisogynist No they wouldn't. They'd talk about how they didn't like the work making fun of gays or transgendered but they'd drop an elbow from the sky on anybody who actually went out of their way to destroy it. TYT is actually consistent on their views.

  • @Tatchko No they aren't. Cenk and Ana are assholes who think their view of the world is the only views. I think it comes from Cenk coming from a Muslim family and Ana coming from a family from the former soviet union

  • @ubermisogynist Please point out the video where they were NOT in favor of free speech. Before you say The Koran burning thing, keep in mind they never said Paster Jones didn't have the right to burn the Koran. They just said that he shouldn't because it would get people killed and that it was a really really bad idea.

    The difference between that and this video is that the Print the fundies destroyed wasn't theirs to destroy. So smashing it wasn't free speech. It was vandalism.

  • @Tatchko I've watched TYT for a long time and the longer I've listened(podcast)/watched the more i disliked their attitudes on social issues. I only listen because I still agree with most of Cenk politics but disagree with him and Ana on most social things. I resent that just because I vote democrat , Cenk and others thinks that means all democrats support gay/trans-gender rights. They have a lot of democrats who don't.

  • @ubermisogynist That's actually really interesting. So you're one of those old-school dems huh?

    Just out of curiosity where do you stand on social issues like gay marriage? Libertarian? Conservative? Progressive?

  • I'm loving all these dipshit comments. "Sum know name loser took a pis on a cross what a hack dat's not art!"

    Do you people really not know who Andres Serrano is? Piss Christ is a masterpiece of photography. I say is cause they smashed a print, big whoop.

  • pLexi glass... pLLLLexi glass... there's an 'L', gurl

  • Why don't people respect other people? Both parties are wrong. The so called artist for doing something like that that is considered sacred to others, regardless of it's so called meaning behind it. It's offensive none the less. AND the people who destroyed the art shouldn't of done that either.

  • So, let's put a copy of Koran in piss and pretend is art (but do not put your name, 'cause the chances are muslims will kill you, together with 12 or 20 inocents) or lets put a photo of Martin Luther King (or Tupac) in a pool of excrement, blacks will understand that it's just art... and if they react, It's not my fault. You are what we call in my country "caviars": refined and expensive reds.

  • @Leopoldo888 Moreover, how many catholics were involved in the glass breaking issue? 1,000 millions? 20,000? 119? eehh 36 persons? 12? ahh only 2! and that is the proof that catholics are fundamentalists. (And one more, Catholics never in the past and not now are against the idea of evolution! don't get confused with other beliefs. In factm, Darwin was a believer and Mendel, was a Catholic priest!) ("Who was Mendel?", ...asks Ana Kasparian...)

  • Young Turk are fucking muslims. What if i make a piss photo of Muhammad you will be crying about it fuckers. Go look up the muslims video these guys made fucking idiot. How did this guy even got the job makes no sense. You are not offended about anything so let me just say this fuck your Muhammad pedo, rapist, murderer, and a lier.

  • @mafiagman Just out of curiosity why do you think Cenk and Anna are Muslims?

  • I hope when the next church, temple or mosque burns religious people will understand that those buldings caused offense to some. It just had to go.

  • Good. I like it when people burn and destroy books and art. It makes destroying religion much easier.

  • France, motherland of Liberty, where people are also regressing.

  • This story is bullshit. They do not tell you that this was done by four college-aged kids (18-25) two of which made it past the guards and did this. This isn't surprising though seeing how Junk implies that he worships fecal-covered Darwin theories...

  • @sleepyriggles

    "four college-aged kids"

    jesuits, then?

  • @KEvronista Possibly, but only 4 of them. Not a swarm of protesters that this story and many of these comments suggest.

  • @sleepyriggles

    four too many.

  • In the Christians defense, saying that its wrong to make money on religion is probably VERY offensive to religious leaders.

  • Seriously if it as Muhammad in piss there would have been over 9000 deaths already !

    Thumbs up if you agree !

  • Thats a fucking Frenchie problem, not a Christian problem. Plus it was by Catholics, not by Christians.

  • @ZKoftherebellion Catholics are Christians.
