Popetown - Good or Bad?
 
Yesterday while I was watching Ren and Stimpy, I saw this commercial about a cartoon named Popetown. I researched about it and I got what people think about it. Some people think its blasphemous, other people think its cool. C4 (New Zealand's music channel) will air the world premiere of Popetown. Here's the synopsis:

A wickedly funny cartoon – Featurting the voices of cheeky Ruby Wax, supermodel Jerry Hall and The Office’sMackenzie Crook.

Welcome to the star-studded and very irreverent world of Popetown. Here’s where you’ll find a cartoon pope, superstar voices, the hottest animators in town and a script that will make you fall off your pew with laughter. ImagineFather Ted meets South Park. You’ve never seen anything like it.

Office politics exist in any workplace, but in Popetown there’s a bizarre twist : the company is the Vatican and the Chief Executive happens to be the Pope.

The long-suffering Father Nicholas runs the back-office at Popetown, a job that includes anything from ordering Friday’s frozen fish fingers to planning prestigious public masses. Each day he struggles against the insane and chaotic bureaucracy of Popetown. He is so much a part of the fabric of Popetown that he can no longer see just how bizarre the others are : the sinister, corrupt and mysteriously wealthy Cardinals; the fame-obsessed TV reporter Sister Penelope ; the 77 year-old eccentric Pope with all the charm of an obnoxious seven-year-old (who likes Father Nicholoas so much that he takes baths with him); and Sister Marie, Father Nicholas’ devoted and innocent assistant, who all too often acts before, or even without, thinking.

So, what do you think? BBC won't show it, so C4 did. Do you think it'll spread around the world, or do you think it'll only stay in NZ? Is it blasphemous, funny, cool, or what? Your call! Wht is Popetown to you?

PS: your opinions will help me decide whether I watch the world premiere. Oh, and every news channel in NZ is showing summin about Popetown.
