AFA Versus Two & A Half Men

Apparently the AFA has no sense of humor, they are offended over Sheen's alternate lyrics sung to the the tune of "Joy to the World". According to the AFA he is bashing Christ, Christmas and Christians. Hmmmmmmmmmm could it be the AFA is a tad oversensitive?

To me this is much ado about nothing. If you don't appreciate Sheen's sense of humor, then don't watch the show. It's a comedy after all, you are suppose to find it amusing. Parody's of popular songs are nothing new. For example "Away with a Stranger" by Gary Main is a parody of "Away in a Manger" click here to read the alternate lyrics. Or He Fooled The World (another parody of Joy to the World) also by Gary Main If you like parodies visit Am I Right for more parodies. Warning if you are with the AFA you will find tads of material to be offended by.

This is the definition of parody

parody
n 1: a composition that imitates somebody's style in a humorous way [syn: lampoon, spoof, sendup, mockery, takeoff,burlesque, travesty, charade, pasquinade, put-on]

2: humorous or satirical mimicry [syn: mockery, takeoff]

v 1: make a spoof of; make fun of [syn: spoof]

2: make a parody of; "The students spoofed the teachers" [syn:spoof, burlesque]

Apparently the AFA finds a lot to be offended by this time of the year. They are still in a snit because stores are selling Holiday Trees, Having Holiday Sales, and wishing their customers Happy Holidays. Exactly how this hurts them or offends them is beyond me. If they want people to take them seriously maybe they shouldn't be offended so easily.

In the meantime lets try to have some Peace On Earth for the holiday season.
