I know the argument and what not.. but to play devil's advocate over here.. the Catholic and Christian churches are defiled constantly in media with little to no noticeable outcry... Two characters use the confessional at the vatican for some dirty old sex in Eurotrip, but I can't remember hearing any outcry. Hell, they said the pope had died and the new one was 20... just saying...

I would say the logical reasoning is that humor is always used to approach issues that are sensitive in normal context. By using the confessional just like any other room the movie tends to point out just that. It's a room like any other. It's the priest and the rituals that invoke the holy side to it. A confessional without a priest simply isn't a confessional.

Controversy is a key ingredient for ratings. I think that show is the bomb ditty. Anyone see the last show?
