The Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (the one that produces the Emmy Awards, not the online college where you bought your useless communications degree) has announced that comedian Kathy Griffin's acceptance speech for her show's award will be censored before airing on the E! Network (you know, the supermarket tabloid that moves and talks on your TV). During her acceptance speech, Griffin said, "A lot of people come up here and thank Jesus for this award. I want you to know that no one had less to do with this award than Jesus." She went on to add, "Suck it, Jesus, this award is my god now!" Apparently, bloated blowhard Bill Donohue of the Catholic League was offended. I hope, however, that Griffin was telling the truth. If Jesus or his father/self had anything to do with Kathy Griffin winning an Emmy, then he/they have even more explaining to do. Read the AP's story here.
And watch Christopher Hitchens debate Bill Donohue about Mother Teresa here.

Suck It, Censors
