We were telling dirty jokes about priests and alter boys when I was a kid in the 80s. It was well known and rampant 20 years BEFORE 20 years ago.
Jeff Dunham even did a joke with Achmed the dead terrorist.
"I like to throw a penny between two Jews and watch them fight to the death. I also do the same with Catholic priests but instead I throw a small boy! The winner has to fight Michael Jackson!"
Hate that Jeff Dunham idiot. Being straight up racist with a puppet is not comedy, no matter how much your racist uncle laughs at his "jokes"
Hey I get that I was just using it as an example of priests always having been this way.
Commas are so underused these days.
Hey, I, get, that, I, was, just, using, that, as, an, example, of, a, lack, of, comma, usage.
William Shatner, is that you?
It's funny that only white people say this lmfao.
It's like white folk getting mad about Speedy Gonzalez when he's well loved by Latinos.
I'll begrudgingly understand why young people like LatinX now vs Latin/o but it's still dumb lol.
I'm half Arab and that guy is definitely racist, not funny. And as far as I know only white people say Latinx, they still prefer Latino.
I believe trans and non binary people prefer Latinx
I'm Latino, not white.
So do you like Speedy?
Very much, butt speedy wasn't racist or negative.
Yeah as a kid in the 70s, it was a known trope. Benny Hill and Monty Python even alluded to it.
Long before the '70s. The British arms manufacturing companies Vickers and Armstrong Whitworth merged in the late 1920s to become Vickers-Armstrongs Limited. Employees of the former Armstrong Whitworth were not happy about the merger and joked about being like choirboys - because they were being buggered by Vickers (i.e. "buggered by vicars").
Somewhere in Rousseau's "Confessions" there's a bunch about him becoming disillusioned by the church as a child because of sexual abuse, and the head priest tells him "that's how it's always been". That was written in 1769!
A new priest has to replace another priest who recently retired. As he's taking confession, the woman on the other side says she sinned because she performed a blowjob. The priest had no idea of the correct penance for this. Just then a young acolyte passes so he leans out of his chair and asks the boy: "how much do they give around here for a blowjob?" The boy promptly answers: "One snicker bar, sir."
Yeah, that's the kinda stuff going around in the 80s.
