Dante, she may have drawn that impression from an episode where the Vancome lady was running down the various characters/skits on the show and critiquing them to the fat Jewish producer guy in the running suit. She described Ms. Swan as “finally, a realistic television depiction of the Icelandic people.” Meant for a laugh, and it got one.
But I must concur with the iconoclasts who put their $1/50 in for the Kids in the Hall. Anybody remember seeing their “Dr. Seuss Bible”? They used to be on HBO, as you recall, same episode thrice a week. This one only made two airings before they got yanked for the remainder of the season.
"… He didn’t come in a car, he didn’t come in a Jeep,
He didn’t come in the pouch of a high-jumping Vo-Veep!
He didn’t come on the back of a black Sassitou,
Which is the blackiest creature you ever could view…
… Jesus spoke on a mound, which is a pile of ground,
And the Jews gathered around without making a sound…
… One Pharisee said to another he knew,
What shall we do with this uppity Jew?
We will wash him in wine, and make him all clean,
Then into Sam Zittle’s crucifixion machine!
For you twirl the geverl, and release the gevease,
And in go the nails just as fast as you please!"
Apparently, even HBO has a cut-off point for sacrilege.
