Recently I took some time to check into an upcoming show on Comedy
Central called, Lil’Bush. If you haven’t seen the show, then take a
visit to
Amp’d Mobile’s promotional website where you can watch a video or two of the upcoming show.
On the site the show's creator Donick Cary, discusses some of his motivation behind the show.
“I’ve
always like the idea of shrinking people down and making them their
stupid little versions of themselves. Politically, there’s sort of been
less of a voice for any altering views in politics and it seems like
your vote doesn’t make much of a difference as it used to.”
Less of a voice? What does he call
South Park,
The Colbert Report,
The Daily Show,
Real Time with Bill Mahr,
CNN,
MSNBC,
NPR,
Air America Radio, stand-up comedians such as
Sarah Silverman and
Lewis Black,
Hollywood (except Mel Gibson),
The ACLU,
Time Magazine, the public
school system, several national newspapers and the list could go on ad
nauseum.
I digress. The show satirizes the current
administration along with what appears to be ideas the author doesn't
agree with. In the episode, "Evolution"
[1]
Lil' Bush characterizes President George W. Bush as incompetent,
against education & insolent. Even more charming is a depiction of
God saying, "First of all, I didn't write the Bible; my word is just a
template for good." Additionally, the show mocks Dick Cheney, depicting
him only capable of grunting (in one clip on all fours barking at naked
men piled on top of each other) and refers to Ann Coulter in a derogatory manner (
click here for word - censored by Townhall)
[2]Though
I enjoy various forms of comedy (including a few previously mentioned
shows), this show simply is not funny and appears to put mockery at the
forefront. While Mr. Cary feels that his vote doesn't count, I suspect
with the advent of this show that tune won't be changing anytime soon
(yea, it's that bad and that pointless).
Quite simply, I'd follow the advice from Associated Content and "Avoid it like a disease."
