Pamela Anderson Cast as the Virgin Mary: Awesome or Offensive?

No, this isn't a joke. As many of us already know, Pamela Anderson is anything but virginal. But that doesn't mean she can't play one on TV. And the former "Baywatch" babe isn't just playing any virgin: she's currently cast as the Virgin Mary in an upcoming Christmas special.

Sure, the TV special is more a comedy than anything else. But we think it's still a little strange. The former Playboy playmate will portray the Virgin Mary in "A Russell Peters Christmas Special," which will air on CTV -- a Canadian TV channel -- and The Comedy Network.

The Canadian show will feature a mix of stand-up comedy, sketches, animation and some musical performances. In addition to Pamela Anderson and Canadian comic Russel Peters, the special will also include guests like musician Michael Buble, actor Ted Lange and Saturday Night Live alum Jon Lovitz. Russell Peters will host the one-hour special on Dec 1.

Whether it's meant to be a funny joke or not, do you think Pamela Anderson being cast as the Virgin Mary is pretty awesome or downright offensive?

    How could they not have known this would be offensive to many people? That is their intention. Also, they could have found someone who was more Middle-Eastern looking. I hardly think that Mary was a blue-eyed, blonde and Celtic-looking person. It's all a part of the anti-religion liberal progressive agenda to do everything they can to trivialize and to ridicule religion.

    And as for those of you who are denigrating religion and others' beliefs in our answers, grow up and learn some respect.

    People who believe in fairy tales will be offended because someone has the audacity to make a comedy about their imaginary friend. Comedy is comedy. If you can't laugh at yourself, you have no business laughing at anything else.

    But I won't deny them the right to do what they want, and if you think it's funny, I hope you get some laughs out of it.

    Having read the description, I wouldn't even give this a glance, not worth my time. The reason I say this is because people will say "THAT'S OFFENSIVE, HOW TERRIBLE.. ETC" but they'll watch it anyway... why? So you can be further offended??? So you can tell people just how "wrong" it is/was?

    Is this a joke? It should be. Besides, Middle Easterners aren't blonde--so this isn't accurate (not that the blonde and blue-eyed Jesus is, either, though).

    I'd like to see how people would react if they had Johnny Depp playing Mohammad. There would be a fatwa issued due to offense and it would be cancelled immediately.
    But the left and atheists have NO problem with offending Christians.

    It's offensive. The fact that they cast her for that role was meant to be offensive. The fact that the birth of Christ being shown as a comedy is offensive. But what else can you expect from the godless progressive left that runs the entertainment industry.

    The difference is, Christians and conservatives may find it offensive, but we aren't stomping our feet, gnashing our teeth, writhing in hate, protesting and demanding it be banned like the left does about anything they disagree with. Including any symbol of Christianity in the public square, prayer in school, "Christmas" trees, saying "Merry Christmas," In God We Trust on the money, the pledge of allegiance, the constitution, individual freedom, private property, the right to self defense, keeping what you earn, etc.

    i wouldnt go so far as to say it runs the industry. and personally i think its hilarious. how are you going to make a satire out of a man whose given god status by the masses without casting his mother with a sex symbol. duhh?? no in all seriousness I think that no religion has a right to block or protest against things like satire or homosexuality, and its plain juvenile. we are a progressive society not in that we are liberal but in that we are constantly moving forward. These people still rooting their daily life or morals on religious fallacies are dragging their heels trying to stay true to their ideals while being forced along with progress. I am not a liberal nor am i a conservative. i see both parties as having both good and really @#$% ideas. And yeah prayer in school should be banned seperation of church and state is one of the constitutional amendments we just suck at implementing it.

    Offensive because you know it will be done in a tasteless way. If it were done serious and she had changed her lifestyle to more appropriate family values and Christian acts; I could support it. As is.......... VERY OFFENSIVE!
