Stop The Presses! Bill Maher said something controversial! And now people are calling for a boycott of HBO! Amok, Amok, Amok! (via Zap2It.com)
It happened on Christmas Eve after Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos were blown out by the Buffalo Bills. Maher tweeted the following...
Wow, Jesus just f***ed Tim #Tebow bad! And on Xmas Eve! Somewhere in hell Satan is Tebowing, saying to Hitler "Hey, Buffalo's killing them"
OK, OK. Maher probably made 15 jokes before breakfast this morning that were more offensive than this. But this one was about Tebow. And well, people are sensitive when it comes to Tebow, on both sides of the aisle.
On the offensive-meter, this one probably falls somewhere between a Michael Jackson joke (pre-death) and a Indonesian Tsunami joke. Maybe the most offensive thing about the joke is that it just isn't that funny.
And to be fair, Maher did give Tebow a hashtag (#) and not Satan or Hitler. So there is that.
