Offensive Curb Your Enthusiasm Gag Draws Criticism

 

Larry David of HBO's Curb Your Enthusiasm has angered religious groups over a sketch he did for the show in which urine is spattered on a picture of Jesus.  David's assistant concludes that Jesus is crying.  She and her mother kneel in prayer before the desecrated painting.
